    I'm not sure how they do it, but their salads are always fresh with the best ranch dressing.

    Napoli's Italian Restaurant - Excellent lasagne!

    We're so glad we found Napoli's! The restaurant is spotless, and the inviting atmosphere makes it…read moresuch a comfortable place to relax and enjoy a great meal. The vibe is wonderfully chill, and the service was friendly from start to finish. The food was absolutely wonderful--especially exciting for us because Napoli's offers classic Italian dishes without pork. I got the lasagna and my partner had the penne bolognese--both dishes that usually include pork--and we were so thrilled to finally be able to enjoy them. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. Napoli's is definitely going to be our go-to spot. Thank you for a fantastic dining experience!

    This is a cute place located in a nice quaint little building. Atmosphere was your typical Italian…read moredecor, lots of greenery and rustic Italian themes. Service was incredible. I mean, our waitress predicted what we needed before we asked, put my son's food order in first and brought it out quickly (we so appreciated this) and was super prompt with literally everything. We didn't have to ask for boxes, and she had the check ready on time, her timing was impeccable the entire time! The food was overall, good. The bread service was delicious. The garlic knots were freshly baked and heavenly. They do an olive oil dip with it and we usually love this at comparable restaurants but their olive oil was on the fruity/floral side for me. My husband liked it, but for me I prefer a more buttery and garlic flavor to my olive oils, especially when meant for bread. The calamari wasn't good. The issue (which is easily fixable) is that the pieces were HUGE! We've never seen calamari rings that big! Because of that, I'm assuming they got overcooked to ensure they got up to temp as these were so so rubbery and tough. I don't know if this size is typical for them if there was an ordering issue, but these would be really good if they were smaller so it could be a faster fry and less likely to get overcooked. My husband had the shrimp and scallop Alfredo and he LOVED it, he said he likes it more than his usual at Biaggis which is saying something because that's been our go to for over a decade. I had the chicken parm and the chicken itself was great. The spaghetti was okay, but the noodles were watery, making the sauce on top thin, this would've been better if the sauce and noodles were tossed into a pan to thicken the sauce and coat the noodles. My son has the chicken strip meal (it came with fries) and he was happy with it! Overall, we had a positive experience and the service itself will be enough for us to come back and try more on the menu!

    We love coming to Leonardo's pizza when we are in town. You walk in and it's like stepping back in…read moretime with the decor. The service is always good, just know if it's busy you will wait, but it's so worth it! We ordered the all meat pizza and the bacon cheese burger pizza. Also a full order of the cheesy garlic bread, family grabbed most of it before I could grab a picture. Also the mozzarella sticks are amazing. Drinks are also good. If you can, stop by this locally owned business!

    My friend and I sat the bar and the bartender was friendly and efficient. My buddy's drink was good…read moreand looked like a good pour, not burnt but not too light either. My margarita had a good flavor but I tasted no tequila or triple sec in it, I ordered a second one, same thing. We ordered food as well, my friend ordered a quesadilla which looked good and was good according to him. I ordered a lasagna and was not impressed - the temperature was slightly less than the surface of the sun, the marinara sauce had too much sugar in it (like Filipino spaghetti sauce), the portion size was small (I ate again later that night), and for it being lasagna, it had one lasagna noodle in it. I've had a similar dish in Napa, CA with similar results. I wasn't impressed, not in Napa, not here. Not sure where they got their lasagna recipe from but it needs to go back and stay there. The "cheese bread" on the side was disappointing as well. It was essentially dry French bread with pepperjack cheese melted on it. If you're going to do that, at least put some butter on it and grill it, otherwise it's a bland, tasteless side mess, which it was. I usually have a mixed drink and their pizza and have yet to be disappointed, so next time, that's what I'll do. Avoid the lasagna or whatever it is they call lasagna. As far as the bar itself is concerned? I love the retro look and feel of the place, always have, always will. This time though, there were A LOT of kids there - must've had some sort of special going on. It wasn't loud or obnoxious or kids running everywhere while we there, I've just never seen that many kids there before. No biggie.
