Napolitano Restaurant & Pizzeria — Restaurant in Medley

I only leave reviews when a restaurant makes a lasting impression, either really positive or really negative. This was a really positive one! We were in a rush because we were meeting some friends at the K1 racing go cart for a scheduled race so we needed to find something fast nearby. My wife doesn’t like fast food so I was trying to find something in between fancy restaurant and burger king. I googled Italian restaurants in the area since that’s her favorite and Napolitano had fantastic reviews.

The area is not the prettiest because the main street is mostly used for industrial trucking and I’m familiar with the mostly cafeteria style restaurants in the area so I wasn’t getting my hopes up. Boy was I wrong!

When I walked in, I was immediately surprised by how charmingly decorated and clean it was in comparison to what I’m familiar with in the area. The customer service was EXCEPTIONAL from beginning to end. I wasn’t even very hungry but the food was fantastic! I had ordered spaghetti and meatballs, my wife had chicken parm and garlic knots, and our 6 year old daughter had a cheese pizza and watermelon juice. We all loved what we ordered! I don’t know if the pizza is the best I’ve tried in Miami, but if it’s not, it’s pretty close. The garlic knots I’m pretty sure are the best I’ve had, though. On top of everything, the prices were the most reasonable I’ve seen in a long time at an Italian restaurant in Miami. It’s a little far from our home, but we plan to be going back regularly after...

Well, I have to say, the reviews for this restaurant aren't far off. The wifey ordered two pizzas, garlic knots, and cheese sticks. I went in today and was greeted by a man and woman. The woman spoke Spanish and the man spoke English, so it was nice to be greeted in both languages since the Spanish language continues to dominate Miami. The man was very friendly and funny, and the woman was a good listener who seemed to understand English, at least. Now, as for the pizza, we had a meat lovers and half pep/half cheese. The crust was thin and tasted flame-kissed, and the sauce was tasty. Sometimes, for a pizza to have so many toppings, it can get downright messy; but the consistency and flavor was very well done. The dining area itself was quiet, really clean floors, and not crowded. The only issue I can think of with this place may be the parking, since this restaurant is located at the far end of a small plaza, but I had no issue today on a Friday during rush hour. I hope business for them keeps them afloat; cuz the quality, atmosphere, and professionalism is the rare trifecta that's hard to...

I would like to start off by mentioning that I used the app “Slice”. Pizza is life and when Ive ran out of places in my local area near my place of work, I was happy to see a newer place I havent tried yet. I ordered the Calzone with meatball and pepperoni. Presentation 💯, ingredients 💯. However, upon taking a cut out of it, I noticed the doe was still raw 🫣. I gutted the cheese meatballs and pepperoni along with whatever crust that was cooked to eat. Id say 60% of the calzone was raw. I think an adjustment to cooking time is in order 🤔. To be far pictures are attatched. All in all i think if it were cooked a little longer it woulda...
