Napolinos in Wildwood - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Wonderful meal, veal, mussels, pasta! Loved our server Vinny ❤️ My daughter and I had a great day, thank you

We had a really good meal there, but then when I went back to look at the health inspection, I saw that they were closed down this year for rodents

Oh my goodness, food was amazing! Vinny our server was on point through refills and getting our food out. I normally am not a big fan of cheese ravioli but I got the Tour of Italy and I couldn't complain about anything I ate. If you haven't been here you gotta stop in and try it. This was our first visit and definitely not our last!!!

Paying almost $31 for an entree of pescatore. I asked for extra clams and extra scallops in my order the waitress confirmed that my order should have extra what I asked for. I even left a $4 tip because this was a pickup orders so I assumed that my food was going to be correct period only to get back home and find that I have even less clams and scallops in my order. There's supposed to be two scallops and about six clams, unfortunately my order came with one scallop and three clams for $31. This place lost my business forever.

Honestly…meh. Food was basic, nearly tasteless and was expensive. The fresh bread others raved about was nothing to write home about…an over priced “made from scratch” Olive Garden dupe.

Surprisingly nice. I did no expect a restaurant like that on US-301 in Wildwood.

Ambiance is delightful. Food is delicious and Kimberly was amazing.

If you close at 8:30 show it on Google. Don't show 9 and say you're closed at 8:30 when I call.

Intimate surroundings, excellent food and service. It will be a standard stop for us when we travel between Tampa and Ocala.

Great relaxing atmosphere, with private booths. Service was great, food was out in a awesome time with tons of flavor. A must eat place!!!

This place was great! It's been a long time.since we've tried a new place and it was this good. The dough was fresh and the sauce was awesome. Our server was great too and even the hostess was really nice. Thank you Napolitanos! For a nice night out. Will be back for more food and desserts next time. Side note the heavy tablecloths on the boothes are not clean on the part where it drapes down to your lap. I didn't enjoy that. Sorry had to say it would have been a completely perfect experience besides that.

Best dinner tonight! The chicken franchise was excellent and The waitress Jocelyn was very professional! Will definitely come back!

Party of eight Delicious pizza, calzone, chicken Marsala... Generous side salad. Attentive service Private side room to chat

Terrible service. The waitress was walking around w a mask on. Didn't sit well w us since Covid was 4 years ago. So was she sick ? She was rude. No greeting. She was rude to my son when he ordered. Reached over us when serving as opposed to setting it down in front of us. The food, all of it, was saturated with sauce. My husband and I got sick. When the waitress brought out the bill , one of her long hairs was on top of the receipt. There are a lot better Italian restaurants than this. Dont waste your $!

This restaurant is a gem! Family owned and operated. According to our waitress all food is prepared onsite. This restaurant is located just outside of The Villages, but only about 5 minutes away from Brownwood on Hwy 301. Prices are very reasonable. Our waitress was extremely attentive and the food was exceptional. I almost hate to leave an outstanding review for fear that this place will become overwhelmed with new customers and create a waiting list. Great restaurant! Definitely going back.

Once being seated next to the pos..we enjoyed looking at the wait staffs hind ends that were as close as my husband, we had an hr. from the time our server passed by to tell us to wait...tell we saw anything like food. You know a bad server can ruin a dinner! Ours tried...we just decided to find a new restaurant!

Mediocre food--calamaria rubbery-- awful. Pizza and salad barely ok,.Busy night Yet service was great and pleasant decor.Won't go back again..

We were so happy with our experience at Napolinos! The service was fantastic, the food was exceptional. My husband had the Parmesan risotto and lasagna. I had bruschetta chicken with linguine in a tomato sauce. Everything tasted fresh and from scratch! I would definitely recommend to everyone ❤️

The best dinner ever. And service was delightful and efficient. Ask for Vinnie.

Wait times are sometimes long but only because the food is that good. There are three other Italian restaurants closer to my home, they're good but they are not Napolinos. We would travel twice as far as we do to dine here.

DISAPPOINTED in food. Eggplant rollatini was dry and seemed to be filled with mozarella rather than ricotta. Sauce was average. Mussels were not tasty. Asked for house Chanti. When bill arrived, saw Chanti is almost $14 a glass —- although delicious, sever should have said there is no house Chanti, only a high end brand. However, the hostess, server, and singer were great.

Great food! Great staff! The extra large pizza with extra cheese and mushrooms is absolutely delicious! Miss Lillian was the voice and face of Napolino's for many years. Recently, she retired to Miami and she is very much missed by her loyal customers. They can handle any order, and size group and any catering job. This restaurant is two thumbs up.

We found this place on Google and decided to try it. It exceeded our expectations. We were given a cute little excluded area to sit. They had live music by a man who sounded like Frank Sinatra. We tried a small pizza and it was very good. Chicken parm and Alfredo were great. The Alfredo tastes homemade and is a thick sauce. 10/10 I recommend.

Wow! I can't really say anything more. The pizza was fantastic. Crust was not too hard or soft. It was perfect. We also ordered the chicken parm and the chicken alfredo. Both were delicious. The alfredo sauce could have used a little bit more garlic. Other than that everything was perfect.

3/2024: Zero stars. Hadn't been here in over a year because quality, portions and service went downhill. Recently tried (server was actually very good) and then read they were closed by Health Department in late February for mouse droppings etc. WILL NOT RETURN! Food establishments have a responsibility to keep things clean and sanitized, especially in light of the aging population in this area. Disgusting... 9/2023: We had stopped going here for about a year. Things changed, smaller portions, frozen calamari that was greasy and pasta fagoli lacking in flavor and very slow inattentive servers. Very different from when we first started eating here in September of 2022. Heard they lost their cook and staff. This place used to be great. Not so much now. So had heard from neighbors it was good again so we tried for lunch. Chicken francese a disappointment. No egg coating, just a sautéed very small and thin piece of chicken about 3x5” with sauce poured over with pasta — worth about $10.95 but paid $15.95. Pasta fagoli lacking in flavor. Better after doctored up with oil dipping sauce for bread. Server ok, but laughed under her breathe each time she approached table. Annoying! Won’t rush back here any time soon! 2022: Best Italian restaurant in The Villages. None of the others come close. The chicken and grouper Francese are my favorite dishes. Fresh salads and delicious pasta fagioli. Friendly service every time and comfortable atmosphere. Very good pizzas too!

Take out - LIVE ROACHES - Pickup order Saturday evening 6:40pm. I advised cooking staff that roaches were crawling on box with pizza being prepared for pickup, roach killed on box and pizza left inside for patron. Told front desk lady (blonde hair/green shirt) and was brushed off and told ‘Sorry’…. Probably due to the 1 hour wait for the people there (not knowing about the live roaches crawling around in the kitchen). We (me & my extended family and friends) have been going to Napolinos forever and will not be returning after this encounter. To be taken so lightly and brushed off on something that can make people very sick is very saddening.

LIVE ROACHES - Pickup order 15 minutes ago. Advised that roaches were crawling on box with pizza being prepared for pickup, roach killed on box and pizza left inside for patron.

Was excellent I had the snapper shrimp and scallops with pasta. I wish we had one at home

Was in a large party for an anniversary. Food was good and service was great for such a large party.

Friday night is hopping! Loved the food and environment.

Ann C. is obviously clueless when it comes to good Italian food and real pizza. She probably loves domino's and pizza hut lol disgusting! It is NY Italian Roseanne and why is your name spelled wrong. I've been coming to this restaurant for 15 years, it is the best!!

The place to be on a Friday night! Good food and fun atmosphere.

4 of us waited 45 minutes to get seated. Server did not acknowledge us for almost 15 minutes. She proceeded to list everything they were out of which was a very big list, both food wise and beer and wine. Caesar salad was iceberg lettuce with a tablespoon of grated cheese. The rest of the meals were totally unrecognizable.

Great place to eat. Food was excellent!

It is not New York Italian, but it is the best I have had in the Villages Florida.

Went there with a party of 10 with reservations. We were seated promptly and waited on immediately. Everything was perfect. No complaints about anything from anyone in my party. Not my first time there and I have never been disappointed.

Ordered a large pizza and moz sticks through door dash tonight for the games, even though I knew everything was going to be cold before I got it, not the restaurant's fault, everything was amazing. I just heated it up in my air fryer. Will eat in next time since my team got knocked out if the playoffs.

Great Caesar salad, pasta, pizza

We love most of the food here. Tonight. I tried the shrimp parm and I was underwhelmed. Service was also subpar. I think the waitress was stretched thin. It was a chore every time we asked for things and usually only got half of what we asked for and had to ask again. Water was constantly empty. Only half of us got silverware initially. Server was not able to be as attentive as I assume they usually are.

Gret Italian food and perfect service. Had a suprise party for a relative here and the set uop was on point, with a large seating area away from the entrance. the hostess was able to spot the Birthday girl and walked her back to us directly for the big reveal! made for great reaction video!

We had reservations for a party of 6 at 3 pm on Christmas Eve. We all wanted pizza, but were told they stopped serving pizza at 3 pm. However, it appeared that several "to go" pizzas went out the door while we were there. Two of us ended up ordering grilled salmon and the salmon was way over cooked and dry. The bill for me and my wife with tip was $107.00. We all absolutely love their pizza and probably should have gone somewhere different for our meal.

Terrible customer service. The woman that answers the phone is incredibly rude. Go somewhere else

This place is one of my favorite places to go when I visit.

It was my first time visiting napolinos. This place is the real deal. Their bread, which is made at the restaurant was so fresh! Their wine selection was too notch. My table ordered like 8 entrees, all different and everyone was super impressed with the fresh flavors and portion size. I will definitely visit again.

Really wanted to love this place! We went for an early dinner and were seated right away. After about 5 mins our server came by to take drink order. Never mentioned any specials or even what soup they had. Got drinks and ordered and away he went. Server brought out our appetizer with soup and salad, then the bread. Would have preferred bread, then appetizers, then soup and salad. As others stated the bread was perfect. Eggplant rollatini was served barely warm, no ricotta, weird. Server came by only to clear our dirty dishes. Dinner was just sad. The worst veal saltimboca I have ever seen, in a flour sauce that had no flavor and thick tough veal. Chicken parm tasted like pre bought frozen breaded cutlets, over cooked. Never saw the Server again until we stood up to look for our check. $95 and we left most of what we got. One and done for Napolinos.

We had a party of 24 there for an anniversary celebration. The food was great! We all had several different dishes, and there were no complaints. I have to say the server that we had was absolutely incredible! I wish I could remember her name because she deserves recognition. We were there December 9th in a back room if that helps. Thanks for the wonderful experience!

The pizzas my wife and I had were fantastic. The crust was exquisite, which is an important part of a great pizza.

Went to Napolinos for the first and likely last time Wednesday, August 24, 2022. The hostess sat us immediately, the atmosphere was festive, and we were excited seeing some of the meals being served. Our excitement slowly dwindled as we sat and waited for our waitress. Our drink orders (waters and diet coke with a splash of lemonade) took nearly 30 minutes. The soda was flat - no carbonation. I ordered MANICOTTI AL FORNO (Includes soup or house salad.) Description: Cheese filled manicotti baked with house tomato sauce topped with mozzarella my husband ordered PARMIGIANA (Includes soup or house salad.) Pounded and breaded chicken breast topped with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella We both opted for soup - PASTA E FAGIOLI The Pasta E Fagioli - no flavor, very little pasta and even less beans. I took a couple spoonfuls and gave it to my husband - who agreed it wasn't good but was starving because it took nearly an hour to be served to watered down soup. We received bread and olive oil when the waitress picked up our soup cups. When my Manicotti finally arrived, I was so hungry I was hoping it would be good...but it was mediocre at best. The shells had very little ricotta cheese and too much mozzarella - the sauce tasted like it was poured out of a bottle or can. The pictures aren't pretty - the food was a total disappointment.

Nice place for pizza and a cocktail! Super nice bartender. Just sit back and relax!

Excellent food & service and very relaxed atmosphere

A friendly atmosphere and good food

Went here with a girlfriend for dinner. Service was exceptional food was amazing. Large portions and priced very well.

My favorite Italian spot! Jocelyn our server/bartender all ways on point with a great smile and attitude!

Went with a group. Very slow and noisy. I ate two appetizers because the main meal was so slow. Very noisy room and one server and helper for 40 plus people

You won't find a better location for authentic Italian food. Every item on the menu is amazing! This is our favorite place to go! I promise you won't be disappointed!

My last review/update (down below) was six years ago. This is one of the few consistently good restaurants. It's still five stars for every visit over the years. Thanks for all the great food! Wow. I loved everything. The in house salad dressing was amazing and very happy with the roasted red pepper cream sauce. I can't wait to go back and try more! So fresh! Update: Still 5 stars! I've been three times now and I have only one suggestion. Add that special with the marscarpone and pear filling to the main menu. I can't remember the name but I'm gonna need some more of that creamy goodness! Love it.

This is NOT an authentic Italian restaurant!! I had a server that did not even speak English. Thought I was going to get chips and salsa ! Never again would NOT recommend

Ordered veal marsala. Tasted more like brown gravy. Veal was fatty. Did not eat it. Just ate pasta. Fresh bread to table was very nice with dipping oil.

The food is excellent. The service is good, and it has little private areas. You may have to wait for seating, but it is worth the wait.

This was my first time going to Napolinos and we had the Napolinos special pizza and it was ok. The waitress was so sweet and wonderful.

Such great italian food can't wait to try their pizza next time

Wonderful restaurant for 75th birthday. The staff was so accommodating to our group of 25 ladies. The food was delicious and the service divine. Thank you for making it so Special.

Quiant place to eat. Service was superb. Food delectable. Been here twice, and all our guests loved it.

Past visits have way above average. This recent one was a disappointment. Service was VERY slow and food was not up to their usual standards. Must have had problems in the kitchen. Will try again and hope for the best.

This restaurant is fantastic. The food was tasty, but no better than at any other Italian restaurant. Although the quality was good, the service was a little slow. This is because it is such a popular location. The atmosphere was fantastic, with a nice live performer and excellent decorations; the interior of the building is simply stunning.

The service was excellent the food was delicious I'll be back nice atmosphere.

Prices were good, food excellent, service excellent and atmosphere nice. Seated right away.

Great food and service! Chicken Picatta was excellent!

Very pleasant. All the people were nice. Our waitress was prompt to get to us, but maid sure that we were not rushed. Very nice lady..

Clean, friendly waite staff. Really good food.

Go here for some good food, remember good food takes some time to wait. If you have to wait get their drinks, totally worth it and the bread is the best. Also the salads are amazing and big portions while you wait for the main course. I recommend the pizzas and pastas and high are amazing!

I used to love this restaurant but today was disappointing. The House salad that accompanys lunch specials is really sad and no self respecting Italian restaurant should serve it. It is served in a small cone shaped bowl which is a terrible way to serve a salad. It was a lot of sad lettuce shoved in a bowl with one small olive a bit of tomato and peppers from a jar…. Sad. The breaded salmon bite appetizer was boring and just tasted like breading. I had the clams and mussels and it also could have been better. I would need to hear of changes to go back.

We drive 100 miles to eat here. We always enjoy our meals. We will definitely be back.

Outstanding food and service, this is a must visit when you're either in town or if you live locally. Fantastic on every level!

The food was delicious, the veal parm was very good and a generous amount. The wife had Alfredo which she enjoyed. The service was quick and very friendly!

Great food, great atmosphere, great staff - special thank you to Victoria! Have been here many times over the years and have never been disappointed!

We were greeted promptly and seated promptly. We came in after the lunch rush and it was so nice! Service was superb and the food wonderfully authentic! Thank you for a lovely afternoon!

This restaurant is beautiful. The food was tasty, but no more impressive than any other Italian restaurant. The quality was good, yet the service was a touch slow. I would jot this down to it being such a popular place. The atmosphere was wonderful, with a lovely live singer and beautiful decorations, the interior of the building is just gorgeous.

We usually dine here later in the evening and this particular evening was not the best. I ordered spaghetti and it was very broken so that I could not twirl it on my fork. My sausage and meatballs were actually cold on my pledge but the flavor of the food was outstanding. We usually have a better experience than this. It is unfortunate but even a good restaurant can have a bad day.

Our food was overall fine but not particularly great. The Stromboli sauce tasted out of a can. The ingredients in the dishes we tried were pretty standard faire and none of it was worth a return visit. Prices were high for the food served but these days reasonable prices are all over the place. Service was friendly and prompt. The interior tries to be a bit more upscale but doesn't quite get there.

We love this place! OMG their bread is to die for and the service is always right on. Love the veal dishes here but everything we’ve tried over many visits has been fantastic. You can’t go wrong here.

Great food and some of the seating is extra cozy.

Love this place for great Italian Cuisine and the service is always awesome.

First time customers. We went for an early dinner. Showed up at about 4pm. We ordered cheesy bread. Pretty good. No spices, but none the less we didn't complain. We ordered a margarita pizza. Took almost an hour to come out. At that time, they were pretty busy. Pizza was flavorful. The crust was tasteless. It was good dipped in the oil blend served with the bread. We made due. Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. We'll give it another whirl.

What fun we had in our little alcove. Wonderful experience

Good very good. Vinnie our server was spectacular.

Came up from Naples to the Villages to visit my family. We come to Napolinos quite a bit because my parents always want Italian food being from NYC. Food was good as always along with the friendly service Anisa was probably the most beautiful girl I have seen here in the 10 years I have been coming up to this area. Thans for a great dinner as always!!!

An excellent dining experience. The food is excellent.The prices are reasonable for the Quality that you get. The service is excellent. They have a staff with little turnover.The staff is good at taking care of you. Their reservation system needs improvement. They don't issue. A reservation number and sometimes they lose your reservation. They have a live singer on certain nights. I recommend you try this restaurant.

The server was never on the floor. When she was she looked away from us. Food is always good.

Probably the best Italian I ever had! There were so many choices on the menu I wanted. I started with the basic veal parmesan, tender, melt in your mouth! I can't wait to go back and try the grouper

Ahhhhhh-mazzzzz-ingggggg!!! 10 stars 🌟 if I could give it. Passing through on our way to Disney World. This place is ABSOLUTELY incredible. We knew when we pulled up to a packed parking lot we were in the right place. A little wait to sit but it is a Saturday night. A nice bar, I had two of the limoncello martini and they were so cold, lemony and good, my husband had beer. Food is delicious, pizza is outstanding with a crispy bottom and homemade sauce. We even got one to go. They had the nicest singer in there singing live music and taking requests. Great ambiance, delicious food! Our server was alright, she was slow to return with things and we had to ask for refills. Another visit and another delicious meal ‘23. This time with an attentive server!

Ordered take out: pizza was burnt, no cheese on pizza and no taste. Was very disappointed. The price ( $36.00 plus) you would expect better. Not sure if I would go back!!

It's the most athletic Italian food I found since I moved to the villages

Best Italian food I have had since I moved to the area. The veal marsala was very tender, can't wait to go back to try something else.

Place did not disappoint.. Service was great and so was food. I got the shrimp linguine alfredo. Bomb.

Margherita pizza is very good. The bread is delicious. Our granddaughters dish was dry. My son liked the lasagna. Our daughter in law liked her speciality pizza. My husband was not thrilled with the special of the night. March 23rd.

Cute authentic Italian restaurant... Awesome pastas, salads and desserts.

I'm giving 5stars across the board because I know today's visit is not indicative of the usual quality I receive from here. This is a great establishment under normal circumstances. Today I ordered the Chicken Parm....very dry bird...no extra sauce as asked for and spaghetti instead of the Alfredo requested. I hope y'all get it together before my next visit ( next week)... I'd hate to try and replace you and your normally excellent food. To my 5M followers, pay attention to the stars... that's who they really are... Just had a bad day I think. We all have bad days!

Really like their pizza. It is not a take out item for us as we are in the far far southern end of the Villages. A bit long of a ride to get the pizza Home nice and warm. For us it is a dine in pizza.

Best place around to get a very good pie8
