There’s something special about a business that’s able to satisfy your taste for good food all while bringing back fond memories of childhood and grandma’s precious home-cooked treats. Napoletana does just that, from their warm and lively environment to their feel-good dishes.
This authentic Italian restaurant offers a wide spectrum of varieties: 41 choices of pizza, 34 pastas, 17 antipastos, and 21 desserts.

With such hard selections to make and an alternative for every taste the only suggestion we can give you is to share as much as you can and, in the spirit of enlightenment, try new things.
