   We frequently come to Napolese, whether in Meridian Kessler or at the Fashion Mall. This visit was unlike anything we’d experienced. We had a party of 12 to celebrate my daughter’s birthday, as we have celebrated many birthdays here before - it’s her favorite restaurant. TL;DR version: we were shunned for bringing in a small cake. Waitstaff (not ours) informed us, “beautiful cake, but that needs to be taken home with you” as we literally walked in, with no other explanation. Then, AFTER we sang happy birthday to her, our waiter refused to bring us additional forks (we brought our own birthday plates). We’ve celebrated birthdays at Napolese many times before, but I’m not sure if we will in the future, which is disappointing.

   Very good! Longer wait on pizza but only because it was pretty busy. Very nice server, good ambiance!

   Napolese offers exceptional pizza with a perfect blend of crispy crust and fresh ingredients. The restaurant provides great value for money, with generous portions and reasonable prices. A reservation is recommended on weekend evenings. The only improvement could be the addition of more cocktail options.

   Party of 5, Great Meal! Had Burrata toast & meatballs as apps (work well together) and we each ordered a pizza (mine was Hammaker + jowl bacon+ red peppers) and we all loved them with most taking 1/2 home. Pro-tip, although we ate in the wine bar (21+) side. Only 3 red wines were on the menu, all being $50 plus bottles. The "family" side had much more and much cheaper wine selection. (got a great $25 bottle of Nero d'Avola on that side). I find it annoying that I had to go over to that side and then ask for bottle pricing but our server appeared at my side and was most helpful. Still, I wonder why this set up exists. We were there Saturday 11/16

   Service was great! We split two salads and two pizzas as a group of 4. Salads were just ok (split a beet and a Caesar) but pizzas were good!

   No longer has a vegan cheese option! Otherwise, the food is decent and it's a nice ambiance.

   The food was hot and tasty and delivered without delay. Our server Miguel helped us with our wine selection which was superb. A must in the MK neighborhood.

   We made plans for a quick meal before a 7pm show at Butler’s Clowes Hall. Our 5:15p resi was honored and we were quick to get seated and drinks ordered. However with increased patrons the service slowed and at 6:25p we had to ask for the 2 salads we ordered for dinner and honestly should have just paid out…the salads arrived at 6:30p and we had 5 min to grab a few bites before having to leave. Food was great but very slow service for the food ordered.
