Song E Napule never disappoints! I asked Giampiero to make a pie of his choosing for us and it was *chef’s kiss* delicious. My husband ordered the chicken Milanese and it was so good we ordered another to go. The cutlets were pounded out thin, perfectly seasoned & fried without a trace of oil and practically melted in your mouth! Of course, we had cappuccino— always the best— and Raffaele was so kind and generous that he had us try a pistacchio tiramisu— OMG — so good! From start to finish this place is always a winner. Thank you to all the guys who are so dedicated to their craft and customer service. It’s genuinely appreciated.

What an unexpected surprise! Really nice interior, love the set up and feel of the place. The food was delicious. We just had a variety of appetizers and shared a pizza. The pizza was a little smaller than we expected but the smoked mozzarella on it was worth it. The cocktails were really yummy too. I know the location has been there for some time and it was our first time there and won't be out last!
