Love this place! This is our second time here and the food and service has been exceptional. The first time I got the strawberry salad and it was so good and then we also got pizza. Today we got the mussels with the Diablo sauce and they were killer. My husband loved the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and I had pizza with arugula prosciutto, and mozzarella. Delicious! Service has been on point. Tonight our server was Gianluca and he was amazing! So accommodating and took great care of us! Highly recommend! We will be back! Oh and Wednesday night is half-price wine night and we got a fantastic Brunello for under $45. Amazing!

I don't understand the many negative reviews. We travel 2 hours once or twice a month to eat at Napolino's. It is a very nice restaurant and, we have never been disappointed. Their Shrimp Francese is the best I have ever had. They also have a salmon dish with a lobster sauce that is really good. They have smaller portion lunch specials until 3pm. The best part is they serve fresh crusty artisan bread to start instead of those lame garlic knots every other Italian restaurant seems to serve now. It is worth going there just for the bread!

At Napolinos in Wildwood, FL, our waiter, AUTOM, made our evening truly special with their warm hospitality and attentive service. I ordered the Margarita Pizza, and it’s hands-down one of the best I’ve ever had. The crust was perfectly crisp, with a golden edge that carried a subtle smoky flavor. Fresh, juicy tomatoes and fragrant basil, each bite bursting with authenticity. For dessert, the chocolate mousse was a silky, indulgent finish, though the pizza remained the star of the show. Napolinos’ cozy Italian ambiance and AUTOM’s stellar service made this a meal to remember— whenever I’m back in town will be back for more !!!

I went in and I was al I e and sat at the bar. Great service. I had a cheese pizza and salad. Both were very good. Lived the dressing and you can tell it was made in house. The oil that came with the bread very good. Although I wish it was in a wider bowl to get more seasoning on the bread. Loved the pizza cooked perfectly with just a little crisp on the bottom. Quality ingredients. This is a must try.

I keep trying to give this place a shot, but keep getting disappointed. Today was my birthday and we were planning on going to a Greek restaurant. I did a last minute change and choose this place. I ordered the eggplant parm and it was horrible. There was barely any eggplant. The red sauce was so bad, it tasted like canned tomatoes. I had always ordered their pizza for take-out, which was good but I haven't had it in about 6 months. I read a review that the place has a new owner. We went on a Sunday afternoon, around 4:30 and the place was dead. I know its summertime in The Villages, but this place always drew a crowd. I wonder if there is a new chef as well. I will not be returning, as there are so many more restaurants to visit in The Villages.

If you're ever in the Wildwood Florida area on route 301 and you feel feel like you deserve a memorable meal, visit napoliano's and you won't be disappointed. The Italian dishes were amazing and be sure to ask for Danielá.

This spot was chosen for a first time meeting my girlfriend's family, a halfway point in Wildwood between our respective cities. We had a party of five including my gf's 15 month old neice. Staff was very accommodating in getting us a functioning high chair. We got a large pizza for an appetizer that was fabulous. As a baker, I appreciate a good crust. The bread they brought was also very fresh, and the dipping oil, although flavorful, would be better served in a wider dish to access the cheese and herbs. Would also prefer something ceramic or at least metal versus single use plastic. My go-to at a new Italian spot is generally chicken parmesean. I ordered mine with linguine. The thing about expectations is that they are more often than not premeditated resentments. The quality of the chicken parm was disappointing. The quantity was large enough. I'll have leftovers tomorrow for work, and I'll doctor them up a bit with some herbs and pecorino romano off the block at home. We ordered dessert, two pieces of tiramisu. It was incredibly light and a good note to leave off on. We had a seasoned server who was very attentive, although they did publicly shame a trainee, which was a bit embarrassing to witness. I'd go back just for the pizza and tiramisu, and maybe try something else off the menu. Overall, it was a great place for a date or family gathering. We had lots to discuss, and the little one was in a great mood.
My girlfriend and myself split an order of Lasagna. It was the worst lasagna I've ever had in my life as my girlfriend concurred. It was over $20.00 for one takeout order. As was said on a previous review: The sauce tasted like pureed tomatoes. Tasted like the tomato's were put into a blender and served as is. No taste of flavor. Remember the commercial where's the beef; well I would change it to where's the ricotta and mozzarella cheese. Couldn't see it and of course not taste it. The hamburger meat wasn't very good or look appealing. I'm Italian heritage and just got back from Italy. I also come from the Chicago-land area where their are many fine Italian restaurants and I could tell one thing: this place wouldn't be in business very long there.

My partner and I have passed this place almost weekly for the last 4-5 years. We decided to finally give it a try yesterday to cap off our date day. It may look super busy from the outside, but it was not (around 5pm), it just looked as such. When we got in, we requested a booth. We were not provided utensils until I asked, after our salads had arrived. The bread and the ceaser salad was good, but the chicken in the Picotta definitely a little underdone. Also, it felt as tho we were an after thought, like no one wanted out table, but when the regular villagers yall knew by name walked in, y'all were all over them. I guess the trick is to find a regular to visit with?

The food and service was excellent. We started with Bruschetta which was excellent. Then, I ordered the fish and my girlfriend ordered the Beet cypress tower. All the food exceeded our expectations for taste and presentation. I wish I lived close to this restaurant. I would be a frequent eater here.
