| - Italian! Oh how we love Italian food. Especially good Italian food!
So my girlfriend and I spotted this restaurant on our first or second day in Montreal. We ended up having Italian two meals in a row at different restaurants, so we waited on this one until toward the end of our trip. We finished off our trip with a pleasantly full tummy! :)
So we arrived at Napoli a little early, about 5pm. The front half of the restaurant was almost full, and they sat us at the last table in the front, which was near the front window. We were both very cold, so we politely asked to be moved to the back, which they did with no problem. We were the first to sit in the back area and were much warmer.
The menu was extensive! So many options to choose from.... we took quite a long while deciding what to have - the waiter was not bothered by this and told us there was a lot on the menu and to take our time. We started with a half bottle of the Orvieto Classico, which is a great light white wine! My girlfriend had the dinner formula (soup or salad and plate combined). She had the chicken cream soup and the Penne Salmon. I chose the Bruschetta appetizer to arrive with her soup, and for my main dish, the Meat & Pepperoni Lasagna. Both our meals were amazing! She said that was some of the best Penne Salmon she's every had (and she has it almost every time she sees it on the menu somewhere!)
After the meal, we decided on sharing a delicious Tiramisu, which is served in a large martini glass. We also had an espresso for my girlfriend and a latte for me. We paid with a credit card, and it's important to know that a gratuity was automatically added to the bill (15%-18%, I can't remember). We left two dollars more as well, as we had excellent food and amazing service! The servers were all very pleasant and my water was refilled quickly (something I pay close attention to). All-in-all a lovely meal! I hope to come back the next time I'm in Montreal!
