We had a couple good experiences when Napolinos was Chefs of Napoli, but have had a couple not-so-good experiences since. Everyone has different tastes as evidenced by the wide variety of opinions.

Just give me simple, good quality dishes and I’ll be happy. The entire restaurant industry has changed since Covid. We have a lot of portion controlled, cooking-out-of-a-can places now, unless you want to put out major bucks for one of the independent places. And doesn’t everyone know by now, especially here, that expensive doesn’t always equate to good?
