    My wife and I had a wonderful dinner at Napolita, where we dine regularly. We shared an app of artichoke hearts which was terrific. We then each had linguine carbonara was our entrees, which was creamy and flavorful. Huge portions! The house Montepulciano was terrific! We had a nice chat with the manager, who was very gracious. Our server, Joelle, was new but worked hard (and succeeded) to make our dining experience top notch! She was great!

    Fantastic food and service! I loved the shaved Brussel Sprout salad, and my friends loved their meal as well. Have loved sitting outside in the past, but it was raining. I found the indoor ambiance to be a bit cold and industrial. Still, a very nice night. Thanks!

    Highly recommend this restaurant! The food is so delicious, the waitstaff is attentive, and the portions are huge. We accidentally ordered wayyyy too much food and were all excited to have leftovers for days because the food is so yummy. We will likely split dishes next time but there will definitely be a next time!!
