The wings are delicious. Greek salad was a fail, and not a traditional Greek salad. :(. Side of spinach not what I expected for a tru Italian restaurant, pasta not bad. .
Nice inside. Very good food at a fair price and our waiter was awesome. Couldn’t ask for much more.
Food was okay, but I thought it was a bit pricey. I was very surprised that we couldnt get a glass of water. Only bottled water that we needed to pay for. I have never experienced that before at any restaurant.
Went there tonight with family and friends from out of state. Everything was fantastic from appetizers to main course to dessert. The wait staff was great and they were very accommodating. I definitely recommend and will be back.
We hosted our sons christening dinner here and I couldnt recommend this place enough!! Portions were large and the food was delicious; calamari were crispy, the grilled pork chop melted in your mouth and the toasted coconut pineapple ice cream YUM!! Our servers were awesome - they were attentive and friendly to all 75 of our guests!! We couldnt have asked for a better experience!!
Awesome place!! Love the location, love the feel of the place, love the super friendly staff and owner and especially love the excellent, fresh, incredibly delicious food!!Cant say enough about the homemade pasta with extra sauce I order every time. Sometimes I choose marinara other times I choose Vodka sauce or just evoo with my Pappardelle or Cappelini. Perfect everytime!! The bread they serve your meal with along with the delicious olive oil is so so good!! When Im in the mood for fish, the salmon is always fresh and always the same big portion.Awesome value with every visit!!The atmosphere is so relaxing and comfortable bc of how well designed it is. Love the look and feel of Neapoli!!Place is super clean and the staff, from the owner to the management are super nice and accommodating. No ask is to much at Neapoli. You can tell from beginning to end that this restaurant is first class!! Love visiting Neapoli and I cant wait to go back every time I visit with the family. Simply delicious and a pleasure to visit,Thank you Neapoli, a real jewel of Red Bank!!
Make sure youre well hydrated before dining here. Ive never been to a restaurant where my water glass was not refilled by wait staff throughout the meal. They do not serve tap water. Poland Spring bottled water is $3 and you have to refill your own glass. Pellegrino is $9 a bottle. I realize that restaurants were hard hit by Covid, and perhaps they didnt have enough staff to fill water glasses, but they lost a $50 or $60 dessert tab because we were so annoyed by their no tap water policy that we had dessert elsewhere. The food was good, but the dining experience felt rushed and I couldnt really enjoy myself because I was angry about having to pay for water.
We went here to celebrate our friends wedding anniversary. The food was exceptional and the service top notch. I cannot wait to go back!!!
The food was delicious ( we ordered carry-out). It was super expeditious. They brought the food right to my car, as they have spaces in front just for pick-up. Cant wait to eat there in person.
Not only is the food here absolutely delicious - the ownership is incredible, with a kind and attentive staff! We always have excellent meals at Neapoli Italian Kitchen, while enjoying the entertainment and atmosphere. This restaurant is truly a gem in Red Bank! I would also like to mention that Neapoli Italian Kitchen is known throughout Monmouth and Ocean Counties as incredibly connected to the surrounding communities and has given back by donating meals. This is truly wonderful. My family and I will proudly continue to enjoy our evenings with Neapoli!
I have been here twice. Both times the food was good but service was slow and portion size is a little bit small for the price. They also started charging if you want water and refuse to serve tap water. If Im going to spend over $100 for a dinner for two Id rather go elsewhere. I will not be going back.
I catered an event using Neapoli, and everything was delicious. Louis helped me with ordering and I couldn’t have been happier. There were no leftovers, the pasta dishes, sandwiches and rice balls all went. Thank you again for a wonderful experience.
The owners are so friendly and welcoming, our servers were so sweet and very attentive. The food was excellent!..and youre gifted french bread to take home!..highly recommend it.
First time diner with my 2 sons for Mothers Day dinner. We all had a pasta dish. Delicious! Also loved the Italian Egg Roll & mussels apps. Well be back!!!!
I could not be more impressed with the food, atmosphere, and staff! I rented out the back room for a birthday brunch and it was incredible. My guests and I could not get over how attentive and kind the servers were. The owners, Louis and Trifon were very professional and friendly when it came to planning my birthday and welcomed us in like we were family. I went there for dinner last night and it was absolutely delicious. Chef Alex does an amazing job and we loved our server Nicole! Neapoli Italian Kitchen is a 10/10 for me and I highly recommend going for dinner or planning your next party! This is definitely my new spot & I cannot wait to hit up the next Sunday brunch with BYOB and music!
Visited Neapoli for the 1st time for a large family dinner. Naturally, we had a table covered in apps to start. Everything was delicious! Marg pizza with a tasty brick oven crust, spicy mussels in a red sauce (a must), calamari, and honey glazed bruss sprouts with bacon. Our entrees were all home runs as well! Lamb, salmon, veal, pasta... you name it they nailed it. Happy to see another new restaurant in Red Bank setting the standard for quality food.
This restaurant is amazing. The food is impeccable. The service is great! During COVID, they have taken extra safety measures to make sure you enjoy your meal safely. We plan on ordering a family package meal that they offer during the holidays. I highly recommend the zucchini chips and their cheesecake! You won’t be disappointed!! This is my go to place !
Things advertised as homemade were clearly not. Staff were friendly and location was nice. I thought it was kind of them to offer a loaf of bread as you leave. Felt insulted on the size of table they gave us for 3 people and would have spent more if there was more room to enjoy ourselves. Could barely fit one appetizer and the bread. Im happy to pay top dollar for top dollar food. The Clams Oreganata was the saltiest thing I have ever tasted and lacked garlic BIG TIME. Bought 3 appetizers for $58 and didnt think the food warranted that price. Also, I liek tap water, they wont serve it. My intentions of this review is not to turn people away from this restaurant but to caution them depending on the expectations. I think there are at least 4 other italian eateries within a 5 minute walk that Id prefer more (but I will probably go back to try additional dishes for a more defnitive take on the place.)
Nice atmosphere, service and food.Waitstaff superb.
Terrible... I ordered lamb osso buco with rissoto and I got rice and tomato grease soup. Inedible.... Google wont let me post pictures...Very disapointed as a red bank resident but good news is there is plenty of other great restaurants in town.Replying to your response... He never asked to take it back. He said he would talk to the chef and I said dont bother. Bottom line is your kitchen let this dish out of the kitchen and I was disgusted and wanted nothing more from that kitchen.Does the Covid situation preclude you from providing quality product and accepting relevant criticism for the dishes you serve? NO. So lets not place blame on me for providing honest feedback.Your response is very defensive instead of accepting that your kitchen made a mistake. It was disgusting and you will never get my money and I will be sure to tell everyone not to spend there money there either.Signed, a Red Bank Resident.
While a bit pricey, their wines and artisan pizza were excellent. Staff very attentive.
I recently went for lunch and it was delicious. My friend had a burger, I had a gyro... the food was fresh, the restaurant was spotless, the service was very attentive. Even the owner stopped by to make sure that we were enjoying everything.
Refused tap water to upsell to a $7 bottle.. blamed covid and 50% capacity but had 100% of tables filled. food was ok, server was nice. location and atmosphere is what you pay for and pay for it you will.
Good steak and eggs, no issues with sitting indoors as they have ample space to social distance. Though I couldnt understand the combination of steak with boiled asian veggies
The food is consistently wonderful and the staff is absolutely fantastic. Definitely a must go !
Staff was very courteous and attentive. Pizza 🍕 was thin crust and tasty. Meatballs and Italian Egg Rolls good.
GOOFY RESTAURANT THAT ONLY HAS BOTTLED WATER but good food
This is by far the best Italian food in the monmouth county area.The pasta is freshly made and never dissapoints. The firecracker shrimp and calamari is a very good selection for an appetizer. Im never dissapointed when I eat here.
Great Place...Very good service... Everyone loved what they ordered..The owner was a really nice guy and went from table to table talking with everyone in the restaurant. Right now the outside dining is across the street .It is a nice setup for these Corona times..Will definitely be back!!! Soon
Edit review4/3/2020I hosted a surprise party in the private wine room the weekend before everything was shut down which is why this review is delayed. I could not have been happier with everything from the handling of the event by Louis and Lisa. They were very accommodating before and during the event. The service felt very personal throughout the whole process. The night of the event could not have been better. Service was excellent. Food was excellent. Wonderful night. Would highly recommend hosting a private event here !
The waitress was fabulous and so was rest of were good. If you like salty food stop by you will enjoy it. We ordered one dish that was too salty and we sent it back only to receive the next dish more saltier than the first. The owner came out a second time after we sent the second dish back was very rude and unprofessional, no manners when speaking to customers. We were not expecting two dish to be removed from the bill we were merely letting him know it was more salty than the first. I get the service industry and I am sorry but a customer is always right.
Overall very good experience. Omelet was not the greatest, but service was awesome.
Hmm.. where do I begin. I went to this fine establishment anticipating a beautiful dinner with my fiancé however, to my surprise prior to calling asking IN ADVANCE if their was a pre-fix menu, was told no, I go there and lord behold a pre-fix menu. I was shocked to find out that this BYO place took it serious even down to the water. When asking for some water they handed me a Poland Springs water bottle. We went through two bottles that night and was charger $6 for two Poland Spring water bottles. My fiancé, being allergic to all fish was stuck choosing the steak which was mostly fat and wasnt edible at all. To also add, my fish entree wasnt cooked fully and was left very disappointed and how lightly they took the covid-19 restrictions. Not expecting anything in return but just putting my raw experience with this place.
Love the food at neapoli!!! we don’t goout bc of covid but we order in from there at least once a week!! my kids love the pastas and my husband loves the seafood pomodoro!!!
Went to Neapoli for my birthday. Great atmosphere & service! We came here when it was Gaetanos and Wow! What a difference. The food was excellent, many choices. It was BYOB..so of course we brought our own house Martinis 🍸🍸!! We didnt have dessert there, since we were meeting family at home- we were given 3 mini cannolis to go! They were delicious! Thank you Neapoli Italian kitchen for a wonderful dining experience 👍
Neapoli is such a great resturant! The service, of all the staff is always on point. In times like these with outdoor seating, the outside is decorated very nicely and the outside are always has great shades around noon and usually has a wonderful breeze! They also have delicious food, and if you have an issue they take care of it right away! I have been coming here for a few years now and me and my family love it. The staff are so nice and so is the owner Louis.
We are family of 6Excellent eating experience.. from walking in the door and being greeted by the owner and the employee, seated and drink order taken, was maybe 10 minutes.That is very much the point table has been freshly prepared (and ... a very complex and highly-orchestrated procedure.Meal was served hot and excellent taste. Server was very friendly and helpful.Thank you we are definitely coming back again and again...
Great meal, great service, great music as well..we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Gluten free homemade pasta on the menu sounds like a score! Was not cooked properly and got sick the next day. Gluten free_ go elsewhere
I have some mixed reviews with this place. I went to a party at Neapoli and the food was delicious and the service was amazing. So of course we decided to go back since we enjoyed it so much. We went back for dinner a few months later and enjoyed it again. We have ordered take out 4 times since then and were disappointed all 4 times. The reason why I tried it 4 times is because I was hoping the time before that was just a fluke. I just had family over this weekend and they wanted to order from there since they were at the same party with us when the food was delicious. Well, it was unfortunately the same outcome, we were all disappointed. :( I’m not sure if they hired a new cook or not but it’s not the same anymore. I will say this, they have an excellent ceaser salad. Other then that I’m done giving them chances. Sad because I liked it there.

Restaurant was nice. employees nice. I was there for a special occasion so there was a limited menu. I dont eat meat and the choices were an omelet, chicken club, or eggplant which had minced pork. I had French fries which was good. Not the restaurants fault. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I would go back hopefully their menu includes pasta or fish?
Great italian cooking, fine food at its best on the jersey shore in the heart of the thriving little town of red bank new jersey! besides the fine italian food, is the attentiveness and thoughtfulness of the owner lou, he walks around personally to the tables to ask how you are and how his cooking is! myself this experience is old school and terrific! one of the finest in our area! its a place for the family or for a quiet date night! my personal favorite is his bolognese! to die for, or his rice balls with sauce / gravy!
Stay away !!! This is by far the worst Italian place I ever been. Im from Naples Italy and I was very disappointed. I wasnt expecting to eat like I do in Italy but is honestly surprising how many people go there. Whoever is the cook they have no clue what they are doing and definitely not Italian or learned anything about Italian food.The only good thing they have going is the ability to seat outside.
Lovely dining experience!! We were greeted by the owner as we entered the dining room, and were greeted by the wait staff almost simultaneously. The genuine warmth, personalized service, and willingness to make our dining experience pleasurable was present the whole evening, and was well received. I personally enjoyed the appetizers and the bread, as well as the chicken parmigiana with the homemade cavatelli. I was also impressed by the cleanliness of the whole restaurant, including the rest room.
Linguini and white clams was absolutely distasteful. There was barely any pasta and the waitress was very slow. I was not happy with this dish and when I was asked to speak to the manager I was giving nothing but lip.
Have been going there since they opened. The food is always fresh.Good size portions, and very tasty. The I side decor was redone a month or so ago. They did a great job.Also its a BYOB.keeps the check prices resonable.Highly recommend
Outstanding. BYOB option. Weve been there a bunch of times and the food is always great. The portions are generous and the service above-par. The only niggle I can think of is they serve burrata salad colder than I think it should be. Everything else is so perfect I think it might be a personal preference of my own.
What I had was fabulous and the service was great go back in a harty beat
A wonderful place. Great atmosphere. I love a small menu thats filled with amazing choices!I hope to get back here soon.
To be honest my wife and I were on our way to another area restaurant but stumbled across Neapoli. We were greeted so nicely and served great food. The place is immaculate. What else is there to say when it comes to restaurants. Great food and service and clean place! Thank you.
Ordered a pizza through door dash the picture looked comepletely different from the unevenly cut microwaved pizza we received
My family and I had a great experience here. The food was excellent. We shared a pizza as an appetizer which was perfect. You can tell they use fresh high quality ingredients because there was no grease at all like many other places in the area. We also had the chicken parm and some pasta dishes which are a must try.The service was impeccable and the owner made sure to stop by the table. I observed him stopping by most of the tables and even when he wasn’t with customers you can see him scanning the dining room and floating around making sure things were on point, which they were, above and beyond.As you can see, I truly value that customer attentiveness when dining. It’s nice to be treated as regulars even though we were first timers.We will be back soon!!
Amazing good, great atmosphere. Perfect date spot.
Food and service was amazing, outstanding job setting up tables outside. I definitely recommend.
We had my cousins baby shower here. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive and the food was delicious. I havent been here for lunch or dinner yet, but we will be!
Read the reviews and was surprised at how many were negative. We decided to keep our Christmas Eve reservation at 6:30. Upon arriving only a few tables were seated. Over the next 2 hours placed filled up and was packed, as we left the waiting area was on overflow. Again, dont know how such a popular place could warrant the bad reviews. Everything we had was great, bread warm and fresh, apps of mussels, calamari and eggplant Rollatini were on point. Entrees of Flank steak with Mac and cheese, shortribs, shrimp were also good. Wait staff was busy, not chatty, direct and to the point offering/attending to our needs. Would recommend for sure, give it a try and see for yourself.
Good food and a friendly staff. I would eat there again.
Great flavored pan seared red snapper! Also pork chop so succulent! A gourmet restaurant! Heated fresh bread had a wonderful brick oven taste! Service was extremely accommodating! Do yourself a favor & go there!
Such a fantastic dinner experience!! Food was spectacular. Every bite was remarkable, and the portions were huge. The clam and calamari dinner special was out of this world. Our 2 year-olds childs serving of chicken cutlets was enormous and absolutely delicious. Everyone was very pleasant, service was great. We will be back for sure! 👍🏻👍🏻
Wonderful birthday dinner. Friendly welcome from owner and staff. Food was excellent and great atmosphere. Cant wait to try other items on the extensive menu.
Witnessed the manager treating the employees like they were nothing, & that’s not okay with me. Employees were also not wearing masks which is pretty alarming. Beware of this place!!!
I was here for a family party and its a very nice cozy restaurant. They only serve wine as an alcoholic beverage so I think if you prefer beer its BYOB. (I would call the restaurant to confirm to the last part...) The menu we had set for the party was limited, but eveything we had was really good. They open the entire front glass in the dinning room during nice summer days, so it has that outdoor dinning feel. Nice place, good food, pleasant staff, seems like it would be worth trying for a date night, or even a get together of friends.
Neapoli is the best! I ordered Easter dinner and it was fantastic!The trays were hot and ready at the pick up time.The food was fresh and delicious!My family had a wonderful Easter thanks to Neapoli.
My first experience was awesome. We had the Fresh Mozzarella Caprese & the wings, both excellent. Also, we had the Margherita Pizza thin crust, thumbs up. My entree was my favorite that I judge every Italian Restaurant by, Chicken Parmigana. Lets just say I will be getting it again and again. Great restaurant, Lou. I cannot wait until our next visit to Neapoli.
Fresh hand made pasta, great atmosphere, great service, what more could you ask for. Will go back again and again for sure. Highly recommend.
Excellent food. Excellent service. The homemade pasta is amazing. The atmosphere is perfect too. Clearly the owner, who almost always has time to stop by your table to say hi and make sure things are ok, takes a great deal of pride in this restaurant.
Excellent food. A little noisey. Service has little to be desired. From the time we finished dinner we waited over an hour for our waitress to check with us about coffee.
One of the best restaurants in Red Bank. Owner and staff are super friendly with amazing food.
I wanted to thank everyone at Neapoli, especially Lisa, Maria, Jenny and Genson (hope I am spelling the name correctly) The food, service, set up was fantastic. I highly recommend this venue for dinner as well as a special event. We had my daughters Bridal Shower yesterday and it could not have been better. They treated us so well and I appreciate it very much. Thank you again. !!!
Love this restaurant! I always order the spicy mussels marinara appetizer for my meal with a side of plain penne. When Im done with the mussels I pour the penne into the sauce. If your lucky youll get a lot of the peppers and onion in the sauce. Favorite meal by far!
Fantastic restaurant....... great food, ambiance, service, staff and cleanliness. Totally enjoyed ourselves. Great place to meet friends. You rock, Louis. Continued success.
I love this place. The food and service has always been great. The staff is always knowledgeable on the menu. My boyfriend and I have come here on regular days and Valentines - theyre always on point.
Great food! Great atmosphere! 👍
If rating by food alone, this would easily be a 5-star review. We ordered two different pies and chicken parmesan that were fantastic. Everyone in the restaurant was enjoying the BYOB and seemed to be having a good time.Unfortunately, that is not all that goes into a restaurant experience. Keep in mind that we placed a reservation after 6pm (both on phone and online) on a Saturday night. Im not convinced that it made a difference, because several parties waited an additional 30-50 minutes to be seated despite having made reservations. As we were waiting, several parties turned and left the restaurant in search of another dinner location. My own party of 3 was told our wait time was 30 minutes. After waiting an hour, we were told that the table was ready and just being cleaned. When no one came to get us, we asked if the table was clean and ready and we were told that the table had been given away to someone else despite standing immediately in front of the hostesses. We then waited an additional 20 minutes before being seated.If coming here for dinner on the weekend, be prepared to wait or just come after 8pm when the rush has died down a bit. For myself, if Im in the area again I would come back for lunch. As I said, once we were seated, the food was excellent and the waitstaff were attentive.
5 stars especially w the new decor! We love it here for both lunch and dinner. Fresh, great food and really amazing service. BYOB is an added bonus, especially in the summer when all of the street facing windows/doors are open; feels like you are in Italy :)
Excellent food, service, and ambiance! Highly recommended for date night, family gatherings, and business meetings. This is our go to place. Doesn’t hurt that it is a BYOB. 😃
Paid 20$ for a pizza that was about the size of my hand. 50$ all together to get delivered cold calamari and a tiny pizza. When I called back to let them know they were extremely rude and told me they were “popular”
The food was delicious! Everything is fresh and homemade. Definitely will be back!
I visited in April and at the time the name change was announced but not yet in the sign.The entire experience was disappointing. First the oil in the table was watered down and didn’t taste like olive oil at all. The bread was dry and crumbly, almost stale. We ordered wine and they only had it by the bottle. They brought us a very hot bottle - so it wasn’t kept in a good place. Not good for wine quality. The bar pizza we ordered too over 40 minutes to be done. And then, it wasn’t even good. Since the name change was already in the works I don’t expect Neopoli to be any different. There are so many choices for Italian in red bank, you gotta step it up.
Nice atmosphere and food!
Absolutely horrible. Only reason I gave this place 2 stars is because pizza was edible (after we finished baking it in our oven at home). Got pizza here plus my daughter asked for spaghetti and meatballs. A very rude, short, bolding, gray haired man took my order and charged me $25 for a tiny portion of glued together pasta (yes, I did ask for pasta to be separate from tomato sauce but I have done same in other restaurants and never had pasta completely stuck together like here). Tomato sauce portion was also tiny and all this was accompanied by 2 mediocre meatballs. I paid $45 for one medium pizza and a tiny portion of spaghetti with meatballs in a restaurant with atrocious service. In a place like Red Bank, with tremendous choice in restaurants, this place should be last on your list.
We just had the loveliest evening at Neapoli.The food was great. There were six of us,having a ladies night out .We shared appetizers,salads and entrees, great wine and company.The restaurant is spacious and warm with a wonderful atmosphere and service . I highly recommend this fabulous restaurant !
Service was excellent but the food was not so desirable. To have a couple of drinks and appetizers great but for dinner, nah Ill pass.
Delicious food! Im always satisfied when I go here. They have a few tables outside. The inside is really nice. This is one of the better Italian restaurants in the area.
Great restaurant and staff. The food was amazing. Highly recommend it!
Delicious food, great atmosphere. Amazing location right off the main road. Hidden away free of the long waits.
Food was cooked exactly the way we ordered it, and served beautifully. Atmosphere is warm and friendly Will definitely be returning!
Loved it. Had a party of 12 in the back room.. completely closed off from rest of restaurant.Location is perfect.. Food was phenomenal.. service was impeccable..10/10
Neapoli is a great restaurant! It has great food. Whenever I go the food is delicious. The service is outstanding. Make sure to request Jenny! She is one of the best waitresses. The hostesses are the best as well. The bussers aswell do an outstanding job. Very cozy interior and is a great place.
First visit, last night.Very welcoming and cozy atmosphere on a chilly fall evening. Service was good and the food was delish! Chopped/house salad big enough for three to split for appy- salad dressing was so delicious- perfect with the crunchy bread! Shrimp Risotto was fantastic- they made a child size portion of Bolognese with zero issue and were attentive to our needs- try this restaurant- a short jog off the beaten path of your normal go to spots in red bank- you’ll definitely leave full and satisfied. We will be back for certain
