I would say this restaurant is close to a 5/5.
We went to Napoli 2 for Mother's Day. We tried to get into Napoli Cafe in Clayton but their reservations were full. We hadn't been to Napoli 2 for several years. So, we decided to go back.
I do have to mention that there was quite the smell of fish when entering the building. I don't know how to prevent this, as their fish dishes are great, but it is rather off-putting when you first arrive.
The dining area seemed to be filled with people celebrating Mother's Day or college graduations.
We had a good waiter. I don't remember his name, but he was a guy who is our age and has been doing this a long time. We ordered cocktails and after they arrived he noticed they had made my vodka Collins wrong (which happens about 1/2 the time), so he took it back. It wasn't great the 2nd time, but much closer to the real thing.
Mike ordered an arancini and I ordered eggplant parm for an appetizer. The eggplant parm is meant to be shared. I knew I wouldn't eat it all and took 1/2 of it home. It was delicious.
We ordered a bottle of Dauo cabernet. We've had it before and knew we liked it.
For dinner I went with the seafood linguini. It was great. It had shrimp, scallops, lobster and clams. They know that the sauce should be made with butter and white wine. It didn't overpower the fish.
Mike had veal parm. He said it was really good.
For dessert I got creme brule. The sugar crust on the top was thick and crunchy...just the way you want it. Mike got something called the rum baba. It was like a bread pudding with a caramel sauce with a scoop of vanilla gelato on the side. He really enjoyed it.
We would totally come back here. I think the one in Clayton is a little fancier and people dress up a little more there, but the food is great here, too.
