Love Chefs of Napoli 2 and will definitely go back to Chefs of Napoli 3 once they get the service kinks straightened out. This is the best Southern Italian-style food anywhere in TV, IMHO. Coming from NYC (and being of Italian heritage) this food is close to home in flavor. No complaints about the food or the price. You get what you pay for! Just hope the service improves...it couldn't get much worse.

arrived there at 6:15 finally seated after 45 minutes despite the fact that they had already seated two large groups that arrived after us (we asked about reservations and they said they don't take them?) we ordered and waited, and waited, and waited. At 8:30 we informed our waitress that after waiting this long, we no longer wanted our food, she said she would bring the manager over....we waited....suddenly he shows up with our food as if in the nick of time..we informed him that at this point we were leaving...he launches into a tirade about how its busy, its cooked to order and YOU PEOPLE (villagers) don't know what its like to work hard. At that point I loudly called him the sphincter aperture (not in those words) that he is and schooled him on how hard life can be for others that don'cook for a living. I am not proud of my rather loud response
but stand by it and will never patronize this or any other of their restaurants. Honestly if thats the way he feels about his customers let him sink!
To be fair, the food was OK, not special and certainly not what I expected from a 'chef' who acted so affected, ho hum.
