Just had another great meal at Little Napoli. Always plenty of good food and wine. Entree' are varied and fresh. There seems to always be a good mixture of people eating there each time I go. We have eaten there 3 or 4 times now and never been disappointed. More

Very cute place with great service and staff. House wine wonderful. We ordered the sea bass and the garlic shrimp pasta, both prepared great. Garlic bread tasty. Tirimisu not to be missed! More

Get the steak & Gorgonzola pizza! It was wonderful! Atmosphere was great--we could relax and have a wonderfully romantic dinner, but it was also family-friendly. Waitress & overall service were wonderful! I'm the kind of person that always likes to do and try new stuff, so I rarely go back to a restaurant--but I would go back here! And I... More

Well, we were very hopeful. We live 2 blocks down the street on Dolores. We have done Il Fornaio take out for years on a regular basis. Il Forn...recently sold and are "getting" it together so we hoped Little Napoli would be a good replacement. We ordered one pizza, 2 salads and 2 apps for 4 people. They were having... More

The bread was rustic crusty and hot. We had th hobo stew after... More

Very popular with locals and visitors. Good choice for lunch. Make a reservation or arrive early so you can get a table. Mussels were excellent and pizza was okay not the best. More

Nice choices on the menu. The seafood pastas were excellent. Pizzas are so flavorful and are large enough to split. Whole anchovies on the Caesar salad were a nice touch. Recommend the Polenta and Sausage appetizer. Make a reservation. Staff are burnt out on tourists and could care less whether you eat there or not. It permeates the entire dining... More

Introduced to the restaurant when we found the sister wine tasting shop next door - Vino Napoli - part of the Pepe Family effort... Yumm ! Small, intimate and vibrant, the dining room has a great vibe. We had the Sinatra pasta dish and eggplant parmesana...tasty - quite large portions. Do know, not all of the wines served in the...

The food was amazing, great wine list, interesting menu and great service. It is noisy but more in an energetic sense than an annoying sense. More
