We visited on a recent Saturday night with one other couple. My wife and I were seated at a table as our friends were just a few minutes behind. The waitress asked us if she could get us drinks. We asked her what they had...for beers on tap. She said none, but instead of showing us a drink menu or telling what was available, she only asked what do you like.
After asking for 4 very common beers and being told after each that they don't have any of them, I said how about telling me what you do have. It was like pulling teeth to get answers. When our friends arrived, they went thru a similar process. At one point the waitress mentioned that they have Munich Brau in a can, which piqued my interest since I enjoy German beers. I even add the comment that you carryauthentic German beers in an Italian restaurant? The answer was a very definitive yrs. After just a few minutes she brought the beer put and it was MeneBrau - not a German beer but a beer brewed in Italy and on the can it said "Italia". Point is, it was very challenging to just simply order drinks. As for the food, it was good enough, not outstanding, but not terrible either. Their sauce was on the salty side and we were told that house salads were not included with our meals because it was Lobster fest week. I guess I'm not sure what one has to do with the other, but ok. Lastly, one of us had veal parm and another had eggplant parm. Neither dish came with any sort of side dish. It was just a plate of veal and a plate of eggplant.
Overall, not what any of us expected after reading the reviews. In the restaurant/hospitality business you have one chance of capturing repeat business by providing memorable service and meal choices. Unfortunately we didn't feel that Villa Napolitana met those expectations. The likelihood of us returning is not likely at all.More
