In Napoli
“The grilled calamari over arugula is really good but tell them easy on the hot peppers.”
“It is so good they even sell the dressing if you want to take some home!”
“In the bar area, a huge 60" TV hung on the wall no doubt to be center stage for the next big sporting event.”

My alumni club in Northern NJ holds luncheons at in Napoli, but I'd never actually dined there until a few weeks ago. Damn, I wish I'd attended those luncheons!
On a random weeknight, my parents, hubby, and I were the only diners. This was after the early bird hours. The waitstaff all took turns serving us since there were more waiters than diners (us). It was a little awkward, but oh well, we enjoyed the attention.
The garlic bread is decadent and the salad has a unique dressing that reminds me of pesto. Plus, the bruschetta has a wonderful topping with canellini beans, which is unexpectedly delicious.
I recommend the red clam linguine and the ribeye. My husband said that the chicken parm sandwich was the best he'd ever had, but I was too busy eating the ribeye to try myself.
The only thing noteworthy was the Grilled Calamari. But other than that, it was mediocre.
I went before dinner time so the service was good in the beginning. But once more people started coming in, the service became very mediocre. The waiter sat in another table with some guests and started talking and didn't really care for us at the end.
I also tried the NY lamb chops and zappa di pesce. They were very mediocre. The lamb chop was very chewy and sort of dry. The zappa di pesce, which is like seafood in marinara sauce over linguine, was very dry. The seafood was definitely not fresh.
But if you do go, do try the Grilled Calamari. It was very flavorful and calamari seemed fresh.
In the end, I don't think I'll be returning there any time soon.
This is my favorite local Italian spot- been coming here forever and never had a bad meal. I've tried most things on the menu but I think I broke the record for the times I've come for lobster night. They have a great special. Mon and Weds are steak night and Tues and Thurs are lobster night! For $21.95 per person you get bruschetta to start, garlic bread, a huge salad with their famous basil dressing and a lobster! Oh and a side (choice of pasta, baked potato and veggies). I always get a baked potato. Usually I love my lobster steamed with nothing but melted buttah but at naps I get it scampi style. The sauce is amazing. The lobster also comes with clams and mussels. It's the never ending dinner. The lobster, clams and mussels are always fresh and I've never been disappointed. They also have a great happy hour 5-7 with $5 food/drink specials. Also the HBIC, Flo is amazing. I'll be back!!!
I'm only leaving a review based on the bar area as I came in too late in the night to enjoy dinner.
The bar is very large and has plenty of televisions around it. I'd say the bar has over twenty seats. The bartender that night wasn't all too friendly. Seems like an old school Italian man that doesn't take kindly to new comers like myself. Meh. Whatever. Regardless, this is a spot I can see myself returning to for a nightcap as it closes rather late during the week and not many places in the area do. The venue itself is rather old and could you some renovation but it definitely speaks for being an Italian joint with 90s decor.
