| - Casual, old style Italian food in Monroe - and no waiting in line to be seated
Friday Night
Food: We have been to Napoli's several times now. At times, we have ordered pizza and have never been disappointed. Freshly made to order and tasty. Other times we have ordered a shrimp and pasta dish and other pasta dishes, and they have all been good with nice, sizable portions. We would stick with the pizza first, pasta dishes second, anything else is a crap shoot.
Huge plus- you get free, hot Italian bread that is already buttered on the inside along with an oil dipping sauce. Most pasta dishes also come with a garden salad.
We must make a short comment about the cheese steak sandwich. We're big fans of cheese steaks and when we a sign posted outside saying they have "the best cheese steak in town" we had to try. Good- yes, the best - nope. Having mayo as a standard is a plus as is offering either provolone or mozzarella cheese. But it just did not have the wow factor.
Service: Excellent. Very friendly service and attentive service. Waitstaff well trained and takes care of you like you should be. It has been like that each time we have gone here.
Price: Fair prices for the pizza and pasta dishes we ordered. They also have daily specials.
Other: Soft Italian music playing in the background makes for a nice, relaxing ambiance. We have frequented Napoli's exclusively on weekend nights and there has never been a wait. Being on Independence, many of chain restaurants have waits often long waits during the prime time weekend hours. Think Olive Garden. We would rather go to Napoli's any day.
Tip: Sometimes Napolis has a Groupon. If you see it, try to grab it because it's a great deal. It's too bad they don't have more coupons out there. We think their business would really boom.
