"My last restaurant here in Wellington turned out to be a hidden gem : Napoli. Truly the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to. Authentic flavors, cozy atmosphere, and impeccable service. To think, had I known earlier how excellent this place was, I would’ve gone a long time ago. A perfect way to close this chapter in Wellington."

"Great place with fantastic service and authentic Italian food. We were lucky enough to get seated at the bar without a reservation. The staff are super nice and I did not have a pizza this good since my last visit in Italy 15 years ago! Considering they were fully booked the food came out pretty fast. They have great cocktails too. We will be back"

"Best spot! Great pasta, pizzas & dessert - I’m obsessed with the carbonara pasta and pepperoni pizza. We made a bit of an unusual request which the staff were more than happy to accommodate. Such lovely atmosphere and very friendly staff. First and definitely not last time here, might be a favourite spot now! Best tiramisu I’ve tried too"

"Went here for my birthday. Tried a few of the starters, such as garlic bread, bruschetta, 3 cheese arancini, and the Provolone al forno. All were really good, and i could eat an endless amount of the Provolone al forno. I got the carbonara, and was nice and creamy. Tiramisu for dessert was good too."

"The popularity of this place seems to have out grown the size of its kitchen. Poor wait staffs are all wearing sneakers and darting about from table to kitchen the whole evening. I feel for them. Good pizza. Need to try their pastas one day."

"This is some of the best food I’ve ever had. We ordered dishes for the table, they were all outstanding. We ordered the Gnocchi, fondue, calamari, bruschetta, tiramisu and donuts. All individually were 10/10. The service was incredible, the team were super lovely and friendly. I’d recommend this place. Can’t wait to come back"
