I came here with some work mates, my first time eating here. The restaurant has an organized layout and is well maintained. The staff is very pleasant and attentive. Our waitress was at our table checking in I would say once every 10 minutes. I ordered the calamari appetizer, tossed salad, and the Milano. Each course came out fresh and hot. The calamari was delicious, tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. The Milano is on the specialty menu, it consists of chicken, shrimp, and sliced Italian sausage with a creamy sauce. The flavors were bold and plentiful. It was like a sequence of flavors from when each bite enters your mouth all the way to the aftertaste. The Milano is a masterpiece of flavor, you can't go wrong. Overall this was a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. AAAAA***** But wait, there's more.... You have to get a piece of their Lemon Cello cake for dessert, it's to die for. Absolutely amazing.

I have had many dinners from Napoli's the food has always been of the utmost quality and delicious. Today I was truly moved by the service I had recieved. I had ordered takeout for my family and carried in my young son. The owner insisted on carrying out my order to my vehicle. A kindness that is not often seen in today's world. Thank you Napoli's. Also the food was amazing as always.

Experienced a very enjoyable dinner here with friends in July. The service was good and the menu had some great options to choose from. The kids got pepperoni and margherita pizza. This restaurant does have gluten free options available for those who need that option. I had the Roma Special and wow, was it delicious! Chicken breast sauteed in a spicy dish of red peppers, mushrooms, onions, garlic, sherry wine, alfredo, and a touch of marinara sauce served with spaghetti. Every bite of this was amazing. My only wish is that the portion was a tad bit larger. You will stay trying to pick up every last drop of sauce with bread when you are done. What a great little gem in this small Nebraska town!

I was in town on business and only got to try one dish, but it was excellent. If I'm ever back, I would like to try their other items.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Service was quick and friendly and the place was clean and nicely decorated. BUT THE FOOD? Everything was excellent. The cheesy garlic bread was fantastic. The wild mushroom bruschetta, although not what I usually think of as bruschetta, was delicious. Their house dressing is a sort of tomato vinaigrette which was different, but had a nice flavor. We ordered 3 different entrees and all were cooked excellently. The tour of Italy was great, as was the shrimp Florentine. I ordered a special of shrimp and scallop carbonara and it was stupendous. A bottle of wine, appetizers, entrees, an extra salad, and desserts were very reasonably priced for 3 people. We left both pleasantly full and a little sad we could not eat more!
