This place is right across from where we are staying for our anniversary. I cannot say enough about it from the atmosphere to the people who worked there and the food was amazing. We will definitely be back.

My favorite restaurant/bar to enjoy a 5 star meal and wash it down with a beer or 4. Excellent chefs, staff, and bartenders. Highly recommend.
Immaculate atmosphere coupled with stellar service and the best food selection around SML. Brad’s menu is worthy of Vegas recognition! Mike and Mike can mix drinks you would never imagine! Melanie and the rest of the staff also provide a great experiences! Be sure to buy Alan a drink!

My Fav place on the lake,Parking: DOCKING - sometimes you need help tucking into a spot. It’s easier on a Sea-Doo - but plenty of boats too
Exelcent food and services. Desserts are delicious. Wine is at a reasonable price. Lovely place. Crab cakes are excellent. 5

As someone with celiacs, I am very careful where I go out to eat. My meal was absolutely amazing and they even had a gluten free dessert, chocolate cake with raspberry sauce ?! It was out of this world! The staff was attentive and friendly. I would recommend either Napoli location! Thank you for a fabulous meal...every time I'm there!

What an outstanding experience. Not only was the setting great but Josh was one of the best servers I have ever experienced. His attention was a compliment to the great meal that was beyond expectations. I highly recommend this venue. The "roasted chicken and orrachette" and "tortellini alfredo with blackened chicken" were the best!

My wife and I had the opportunity to visit Napoli By the Lake for my birthday this year and were very impressed. The food was absolutely outstanding. Some of the best food we have had in a restaurant in quite some time. We started with the calamari and it arrived very quickly and did not disappoint. Flash fried perfection! My wife had the crab cakes and they were phenomenal. Truly no filler! I ordered the 7 oz. filet with béarnaise and it was also a 10. The sauce was super flavorful and spot on. The Chef and kitchen staff definitely understand quality and it shows in each product. Our server, Greg, was also outstanding. He was very friendly, made some great suggestions, and was attentive throughout our meal. He even brought us a crème brulee to split as a birthday gift! If you are in the Smith Mountain Lake area, this is a fantastic place to have a great dinning experience with a beautiful view!

The food is ok, not great , but we enjoyed the atmosphere. The service with the bartender was mediocre but at the table was good.
Absolutely can't say enough about the food and how good it is and the presentation makes it look like a picture out of a fine dining magazine The only thing the atmosphere it's a little loud other than that great place highly

We had the best seat in the house overlooking the lake and Marina along with the most engaged waitress. I ordered the sea bass and it was cooked to perfection along with mashed potatoes and a delicious vegetable medley. We topped it off with creme brulee which was prepared as well as any French restaurant. I would like to reinforce that our waitress was so attentive and in tune with our needs and we will definitely go back for the service, food and atmosphere.

Beautiful setting on the lake; great menu and inventive cocktails. We boated over and had no problems docking. Had a lovely table outside and an amazing meal. My husband and I both had the blackened mahi mahi with tomato cream sauce. Perfect!
