About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Innovative
Romantic

Napolita is Wilmette’s home for all-natural, thin-crust, Neapolitan-inspired pizzas and traditional Italian fare in its warm and charming eatery. The chef boards with imported cheese, cured meats or both, make a wonderful appetizer with which to start your meal. Homemade pasta dishes, such as the classic penne alla vodka and the risotto funghi in white wine sauce are sumptuous and hearty. Napolita’s heart and soul is its pizzas, which come with either a red sauce or bianca-style and a myriad of unique toppings. Varieties include the Acciuga with anchovies, capers, black olives and basil, as well as the Carbonara with pancetta, egg, black pepper and mozzarella.

Pizzas and pastas at Napolita can also be created gluten-free. A full bar, with many cocktail options, beer and wine will perfectly complement your Italian meal.

Really too loud and the table was tippy. The food is so good just wish you’d turn down the music or but some acoustics in there.

We loved this place! Food was outstanding. We had kale salad, chicken parm and “white” pizza special of the night, all on the recommendation of our server, who, by the way, was also outstanding. Truly one of the best I’ve ever encountered. Wish I could remember his name so the owner/manager knows how good he is. We were there last Saturday night at a high table by windows in case that helps identify him. We’ll be back!

Tasty food but very cramped. We were bumped constantly by staff and other customers. Service was rushed and not friendly. Wine and cocktails are over priced and meh. They charged an extra $3 for "on the rocks"! For ice!!

I wish I could like this place more as it’s conveniently located in our neighborhood, but time after time it disappoints. On our most recent visit, service was spotty. Three of our four appetizers arrived while the other diner was left waiting. No one seemed to notice until we flagged down our server who didn’t seem to care but did at least check on the situation. The bar is awful. It’s the second occasion that I’ve ordered a drink and found it flat, including the Prosecco. Food - octopus in the seafood salad was horribly tough, pizza was watery, and steak was drowning in balsamic. Final touch was the busboy dropping dirty cutlery in my husband’s lap without so much as an apology. Lastly, a back room crammed with tables and chairs with no room to maneuver. We’re 0 for many tries on this place and sadly won’t go back.

Hip, fun place for dinner. Just know that it's crowded and noisy, if you can handle the noise it's a great place!

We were a party of 8 including a 2 year old with various dietary needs and allergies, what a fun group for a waiter, right ! Our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Food was excellent and the whole restaurant had an upbeat vibe. Fun experience . We will differently make the 20 minute trip from Evanston again soon.

From the fresh polpi Luciana with tasty nutty arugula, to the savory funghi & luscious 4-formaggi pizzas to the homemade Tiramisu. Napolita offers an authentic Italian pizzeria experience. Delicious flavors & excellent quality. A thoughtful wine list from less commercial, smaller winemakers proud to offer unique indigenous varietals. Our server Benjamin was knowledgeable on their wine selections, food ingredients without being stuffy. Gracious, professional & not pretentious-very refreshing! Can't wait to go to Napolita for another great meal. Grazie tanto, a presto!!

Cozy but with a nice, energetic / romantic vibe to it. Took my wife for Valentine's day. Wine by the glass list was good. Arugula salad is buried in the list of sides but was generous portion, simple and delicious. The pizzas were tasty but crust was soggy, even the one where we asked for it to be "extra crispy". That was a real disappointment. Also, the fresh mozzarella on the Margherita pizza was good but not great. I would go back but not for the pizza, which is too bad as that was the main draw for us .....
