Via Napoli

I met a client of mine here for lunch on a weekday afternoon. Coming all the way from Philadelphia, not a super impressive feat but definitely not a quick drive, I arrived back at the office having realized I left my portfolio next to my chair at the restaurant. All it took was a quick phone call to Brandi who handles the shipping and my stuff was on its way back to me. Brandi was prompt and professional confirming when my stuff was shipped, even supplying me with the tracking number and copy of receipt. Aside of this, the service was great, large creative menu, great prices and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend stopping in.

1^st visit here tonight. Kelsey was our terrific server. Hubby ordered Veal Marsala w/​angel hair pasta, shrimp gumbo soup and lemoncella for dessert. I had shrimp scampi w/​angel hair, house salad and canolli w/​chocolate sauce. Our meals were served w/​marinara bread as well as warm rolls and butter.
The atmosphere was friendly, very busy diners, and attentive servers. Kelsey was very kind, patient, and efficient.
The entrees were very reasonably priced w/​fountain drinks having free refill.
Leftovers were attentively packaged by the servers so we will enjoy same in a day or so.
We will definitely choose Via Napoli eatery again!

Gotta start by saying that I’m loving this place! The food was good and the portions were large. It was clean and everyone was friendly. What’s not to love?!
We reserved a table for four and glad we did because it filled up quickly! It’s not that big, it’s kinda intimate but family orientated as all the tables are seated for four or more.
Our waitress, Katie, was very friendly and attentive.
Things I do not hate is getting grandma pie pieces as a complimentary appetizer. Such a great idea! The «bread» was pizza dough with garlic topping which was good.
The chicken Murphy, scarparella, and Marsala were all equally good. The grilled eggplant Italiano was cooked perfectly.
We were so filled up from dinner that we had no room for dessert. Would highly recommend Via Napoli.

Outstanding food. Small place. Good as a «once a weaker» type restaurant. My wife and I recommend the «chicken Napoli» she gets it with vodka sauce. Too much to eat at one sitting. Very good eggplant and fish dishes. fresh, like you just kissed a mermaid. The only gripe I have is no reservations for two. Bring your own also saves $$. I love this place, I’m also not easy to please

Amazing value. Their two for $ 29 couples’ complete four-​course meal deal can’t be beat. They are also BYOB, which I like because there’s nothing like a bottle of wine to complement such fine Italian food, and you tend to get better value when you bring your own.
The cold antipasto salad, canollis, soup, chicken parm, and penne a la vodka were all wonderful.

Food is very good. Might be the best in the area. Dining room is very small. Service was way too slow all night. Could never really get a good flow going between courses. Friendly enough but just not getting the idea that things are taking way too long to come out. $ 25.00 special for two is a good value but you cannot use a
gift certificate if you order that. Going to try again but hoping for must faster service.

We took our son and his friend for pizza and it was very good so we came back the next night for date night dinner. We were super pleased with the quality of service and food. Although we couldn’t sit in the dining room (reservations recommended) we sat near the entrance and had the same outstanding waitress service as dining room customers… thanks Joanna! We will be back to sample other items!

I usually order take out from here. But have dined in a few times. It’s a pizzeria with a small cozy cute dining area. The food and specials are awesome.

Dinner specials are worth it — you get a lot of food for 2 people for I think $ 25. Hot subs are great, and so are the chicken dishes.
Main guy behind the counter isn’t too friendly though, and doesn’t seem to like taking the
coupons. There are no restrictions printed on the coupon but he comes up with plenty. For example: I called to see if I could use it for a pickup order and the person on the phone told me «yes, no problem». When I came in to pick up and pay, he would not honor it.

This is my favorite local Italian restaurant. I’m a frequent customer and order often with only a couple minor flubs on my orders. They’re personable with friendly delivery drivers. How nice is it to be recognized when you call for a delivery and have the person that answers the phone ask how you’re feeling because they knew you were ill the week before? They have a great classic menu as well as their own offerings. I highly recommend.

Waiting for a take out order that they messed up on for 20 minutes now. Not hopeful that this will turn out well. It really shouldn’t be that hard to listen on the phone!
Follow up — In all fairness, the dinner was quite good.

We went here based on the reviews here on Unilocal & were very disappointed in the food & service.
Upon arriving, there was no hostess, after a few minutes a waitress walked by, asked us how many & told us it would be 15 minutes. After 15 minutes went by, she came back & told us to go take the table in the back. She didn’t walk us to the table & after a few minutes she brought over our menus.
This is a very small, cramped place with 2 waitresses serving all tables and 2 other helpers setting, & clearing tables. Twice during our meal they ran into each other, spilling drinks & empty plates while practically running because the walk from the kitchen to the tables is so far & they have to go around a corner.
Our waitress offered no suggestions or any sense of caring that we were paying customers. This was just a get ‘em in, get ‘em out as fast as possible job for her. We had to hunt her down for refills, our meals came out staggered. My daughter was almost done with her pizza before my mother & father’s meal came out, a few minutes later the last 2 meals came out.
As far as the meal goes, we had the garlic clams & while they tasted good, they were tiny clams, the meat was about the size of your thumb nail. One person could have eaten 3 dozen of these as an appetizer, which is not even close to what you get, I think it was maybe 12. I got the clams casino & they appear to be frozen & reheated, not made fresh on site. The flavor was dull & one of the clams was bad & we didn’t eat it.
My daughter got a small pizza & while it tasted good, the crust was soggy & limp. My youngest got the Penne Vodka with chicken. The penne vodka was very good, but the chicken was very thin & rubbery, almost like an imitation chicken. It was not edible. I had the Italian Trio of chicken parm, penne vodka & raviolis. The penne vodka was good, the ravioli’s were good, but the marinara sauce was so acidic it was sour. The chicken parm did not have a crisp crust as it should, but was soggy. My mom had the chicken Marsala with capellini & was very happy with it. My dad had the veal dish with eggplant (I forget the name) he said the sauce was very good & 1 piece of veal was good, the 2^nd piece of veal was overly salted & very tough.
Coffee was good, my kids loved their cheesecake & I had the chocolate dipped cannoli, but found the cream to be far too runny.
I’m so disappointed in the poor service & food quality because I came from CA (originally from Toms River) & really wanted some authentic Italian food & this was a severe disappointment. I will go do Il Giardino Sul Mare next time!

Excellent food at a great price. We eat here regularly because the waitresses are fast and the good is great. We usually go for lunch, but I’m sure dinner would be great too.

Great restaurant. Nice, cozy Italian atmosphere, friendly and good service. Food is very good. Was there a number of times and tried different meals each time. Would definitely recommend eating here.

Great place. Went here with a
and would def recommend it. Good portion size Nd good deals midweek for 2 people

Great lunch specials food taste great large portions!

If you get the
coupon beware. FInd print that ISN’T on the coupon. I called ahead and the man told me I can use it for take out. So I place my order, go to pick it up, and he says OOPS and doesn’t let me use it. Not good customer service. He even told me I’m not the first one to do that. IF that’s the case, update the fine print on the gift certificates.

We went in for the 2 for $ 25 deal and it was delicicous! We got sooo much food! Staff is very nice and service is fast. Definitely going back!

Great food, friendly service and a fresh new look to an old restaurant. Definitely an improvement.
