“We love this upscale yet down to earth establishment! Always greeted with a smile and as friends! From beginning to the finish, it is always exceptional! Clean and following Covid protocols, we feel very comfortable coming here. Tonight we enjoyed having Michael as our server. He was impeccable with his attentive service, his friendly yet professional demeanor and his suggestions. Thank you Michael, and thank you Pepe for checking in on us! We had the amazing Shrimp, Calamari and homemade chips appetizer along with a beautiful fragrant yet dry bottle of Rose . Somehow whenever we visit this wonderful place, we have to get this appetizer ! So delicious and we have to order it with more of the accompanying sauce, which I would love to have the recipe for! Then, we had the Tartufata pizza. Oh so amazing! Porcini mushrooms, prosciutto and arugula ....... oh a dream on their own, but this also is enhanced by a brush of truffle oil....just beside myself recalling the memory! So wonderful. The presentation the service, the cleanliness, the setting. A perfect meal. We miss Italy, don't know when we will be able to travel there again.... yet, it's right here! What a GIFT! Thank you Napule!”
“Napule is our favorite Italian restaurant! As soon as we walk in, we are always greeted warmly and treated like family. The food is top notch and drinks are wonderful! The staff is the BEST!”
“Napule is is the real deal. If you live in the area or visiting you have to try this one. Me and my friends have always pleasant experience eating in Napule. Food is always prepared and served with love. Fresh and authentic. If try once you will come back again.”
“We had the good fortune to be seated right in front of the artist making the pizza.. If I recall, his name was John... wow.. he was fantastic, and helped created a wonderful and fun atmosphere.. we had pizza with porcini mushrooms and pancetta.. totally ridiculous it was so good.. we also had an antipasto and Italian red wine... this restaurant earned 5 stars.. in fact, we are going back again next week...”
“Best veal i have ever eaten. So tender you can cut it with a butter knife.”
“Napule is a gem. When you enter, you have arrived in Italy. Pastas are excellent, al dente and the accompanying sauces complement each other to perfection. The pizzas are hot from a 900 degree oven from Naples, you won't be able to enjoy pizza anywhere else after you have Napule's. Veal is a very high quality, as are all their meats. Mozzarella melts in your mouth. Whole Bronzino, when available, is a must. Love the food, the ambiance and the staff. I could go on and on...”

"Eataly? No need. You get the same smells and sounds of New York's artisanal wonderland right here. Chefs, butchers, wine stewards and chunk of D.O.P. cheese and salami are on all sides of the diners. They make magic like fettuccine con speck and pistachio, gnocchi with eggplant, rapini-stuffed pork chops and caponata swordfish. So Italian it has its mobile pizza oven on a three-wheeled Piaggio Ape."
