Ristorante Napoli — Restaurant in Rotterdam

A lovely place at meent where I went for a late lunch. I'm giving them all stars because the balance of price, ambience, taste, quality and service was done right. The service was pleasant, my server knew her stuff and listened well and suggested lovely food. The food itself came fresh, smelt and tasted delicious and was presented nicely. For starters I was served bread within minutes of settling down and the server made a heavenly mix of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic and a pinch of salt for the dip and it was soo goood. The pizza was really nice though some would add salt or something for that bit of flavor, I used some crushed black pepper. The panno cotta had the right texture and was the right amount of sweet for me and the mint, strawberry and the jam all seemed on point. Can't wait to visit again and try the pasta, ravioli and risotto amongst other things.

On my 2nd visit I had the Burrata Caprese and the veggie of the day was mushrooms. I chose this heavenly strawberry based cocktail for my drink. The experience was fantastic. The burrata was not very creamy in the centre but the quality was fine. The mushrooms were prolly amongst the best I've had in a very long time and the cocktail, bread and the other stuff was top notch.

On my 4th or some other visit I went for the simple spaghetti with mushroom and it was divine. The wine was on point and the cocktails were...

There is no question whether the food is good, because it's certainly NOT. The only curious thing is how low are people's expectations considering the large number of positive reviews. Let's begin with service. While the staff is pleasant in general, they just lack the cognitive abilities to comprehend basic order. From water to coffee, they couldn't get anything right. When comes to food, very similar story, out of 3 items they missed one, because 3 is just too much to remember. The food is not worth the price, as it's is just average. Nothing memorable or mind blowing, even a bit below average in comparison to the outlets around. If you really want to enjoy good quality Italian, try places like O'Pazzo (much superior food, amazing wine selection, better service, better price) or if you into pizza, then Old Scuola or even De Pizzabakkers is better than Little Napoli.

Certainly will not be returning and don't recommend unless you have low expectations and...

The food was decent but did not blow me away. The reason for giving 2 stars: the waitress knocked over my bottle of sparking water. My glass shattered on the ground and I lost about 1/3 of the overpriced water. Her immediate reaction wasn’t to apologize (my pants got soaked), she ran away looking really embarrassed to get a broom to clean up. I was not compensated, the restaurant still charged me for the water which I found surprising. I didn’t bother to haggle over the bill since I was on a business trip and my company is paying anyway. I was shocked the restaurant didn’t offer anything complimentary to make up for it. I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to write this negative review if the restaurant offered me a small dessert or didn’t charge me...
