    Very good! Longer wait on pizza but only because it was pretty busy. Very nice server, good ambiance!

    Napolese offers exceptional pizza with a perfect blend of crispy crust and fresh ingredients. The restaurant provides great value for money, with generous portions and reasonable prices. A reservation is recommended on weekend evenings. The only improvement could be the addition of more cocktail options.

    Party of 5, Great Meal! Had Burrata toast & meatballs as apps (work well together) and we each ordered a pizza (mine was Hammaker + jowl bacon+ red peppers) and we all loved them with most taking 1/2 home. Pro-tip, although we ate in the wine bar (21+) side. Only 3 red wines were on the menu, all being $50 plus bottles. The "family" side had much more and much cheaper wine selection. (got a great $25 bottle of Nero d'Avola on that side). I find it annoying that I had to go over to that side and then ask for bottle pricing but our server appeared at my side and was most helpful. Still, I wonder why this set up exists. We were there Saturday 11/16

    Service was great! We split two salads and two pizzas as a group of 4. Salads were just ok (split a beet and a Caesar) but pizzas were good!

    No longer has a vegan cheese option! Otherwise, the food is decent and it's a nice ambiance.

    The food was hot and tasty and delivered without delay. Our server Miguel helped us with our wine selection which was superb. A must in the MK neighborhood.

    We made plans for a quick meal before a 7pm show at Butler’s Clowes Hall. Our 5:15p resi was honored and we were quick to get seated and drinks ordered. However with increased patrons the service slowed and at 6:25p we had to ask for the 2 salads we ordered for dinner and honestly should have just paid out…the salads arrived at 6:30p and we had 5 min to grab a few bites before having to leave. Food was great but very slow service for the food ordered.
