Our visit to bNapoli Italian was a mix of high points and a few dishes that didn’t quite meet expectations—but overall, it was an enjoyable evening with great service and atmosphere.
We kicked things off with the grilled octopus, which was fantastic—tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. A definite highlight that set the bar high.
The deconstructed Caesar salad, unfortunately, was underwhelming. It had visual appeal but lacked flavor, with not enough dressing to balance out the greens.
My girlfriend ordered the Skillet Rigatoni ‘Alfredo’ with Black Truffle, Fontina, Ricotta, Sage, Balsamic Mushrooms, and Pine Nuts (with added meat). While rich and hearty, the truffle flavor overpowered everything else, making it hard to taste the other ingredients.
I had the special of the night—it was good, but a bit underwhelming in comparison to the other dishes. It felt like it needed something extra to really stand out.
On a brighter note, the drinks were excellent—creative, well-balanced, and a definite strong point of the evening.
And a special shoutout to our server, Chris, who was attentive, friendly, and genuinely made the night better. His service was top-notch and added a personal, welcoming touch to the experience.
All in all, bNapoli has a lot going for it—especially in presentation, cocktails, and service. With a few refinements to flavor balance, it has the potential to be truly outstanding.
