Title: Napoli's
Post by: Conan71 on April 26, 2007, 01:37:31 PM
After hearing about it for the last few months, we ate there for lunch today.  Pretty good non-chain Italian.  Definitely worth going back.

Located on the SE corner of W. 61st St. and S. 33rd W. Ave.

Good to hear another positive review! I read about it on http://indietulsa.wordpress.com/ and have heard from some friends that it's really good.

Maybe we'll just have to go there for dinner tonight!

I think we actually passed you coming under the 75 bridge on the way to lunch.  There aren't too many MINI's on the west side. [;)]

TulsaMini's has a cool design on the top. I catch myself checking the roof every time I see a Mini.

Cool rooftop is no more. Bruiser got traded in on a 2006 MINI Cooper S. I'm a little more incognito now in my Astro Black and Silver -- this one's name is Cosmo. [8D]

So yeah, you probably did see me going home for lunch!

Ate there tonight for the first time.  Good food and very affordable. Atmosphere - well, it's an old Simple Simon's Pizza Parlor.  But, for the price and quality of the food, I am definitely going back.

My husband and I went there tonight. Very good!! Randy had the Lobster Ravioli and I had the Chicken Carchovi. Both were delicious -- but very different. The ravioli was rich and bold; while my Chicken Carchovi, a sauteed chicken breast with artichoke hearts in a white wine sauce served over spaghetti had a very delicate flavor. Oh and the bread! The bread!! I'm not a huge bread eater, but I ate two huge rolls. Awesome! (http://members.cox.net/tulsamini/smilies/drool.gif)

Each of the dinners was $9.95 and I had more than half leftover. And our sweet waitress even brought me some extra bread to take home.

We spoke with Giovanni as we were leaving -- sweet guy. I sure hope this place makes it!

Everyone go there! Tell your friends!!

Seven of us from the MINI club met there for dinner Tuesday evening. Everyone got something different and gave rave reviews all around.

Also they told us that perhaps as early as this weekend they will be able to begin serving beer and wine!

Beer & wine, cool!  My wife is patiently waiting on me to take her there.  Maybe one night next week.

Why wait, go ahead and go before the crowds find it.  I had a pretty good dinner there.  The owners are nice.

OK, y'all are gonna start thinking that I'm on the Napoli's payroll.

Tonight we ordered a pizza to go. OMG. We got Italian Sausage, Onion, Green Pepper, Mushroom and Black Olive. It was truly outstanding. The crust was thin but not limp, perfect amount of sauce, and really good cheese -- very stringy like good mozzarella oughtta be! I just don't know how to describe how awesomely good it was. Seriously.

I need to go in an demand a commission, see what this post started? [}:)]

My wife and I are very partial to the Pie Hole and Umberto's.  I think I'm going to have to try their pizza and see if it stacks up.

Just goes to prove the best advertising is a satisfied customer.

I had a vendor come take me to lunch, any place of my choosing.  We got the supreme pizza.  I've eaten a lot of non-chain and chain pizza in my life (it shows)[;)] and this was excellent to outstanding.

Are the pizza's thin crust like they make them in Italy?

Post by: Conan71 on February 18, 2008, 10:58:27 AM
Thin and round as I remember.  Seems like every pizza I had in Italy was a large rectangular cookie sheet size.

I have never been to Italy...but the pizza is a thin crust type.

We went there a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday night. The wife had some baked lasagna type dish and her friend had some baked ziti dish. I got the large pizza and a to-go box after two big slices. We ate the bread while waiting and they brought us a few hot rolls out of the oven every few minutes while we waited.

Everything was great and the bill with tip was under fifty dollars.

My only complaint was the quality of the television sets. Both of the ones I could see were so old that the picture was almost unrecognizable. The tubes were gone or something to make the colors all black and red. I am one of those peope that if a television set is on, I continually glance at it.

Food and service...four stars
Price for quality...five stars
Television sets...one star.

I would not want a television in the restaurant!

Sometimes it's useful.  I got to watch the last 25 laps of the Daytona 500 at Billy Sims' Sunday night.

I have ate at the one in Owasso for lunch.  It was good.  My only disappointment was that they did not serve Bruschetta as an appetizer.   Had the stuffed mushrooms and they were tasty.

We finally ordered food from Napoli's.  Couldn't go out to eat because I'm still under the weather[|)]

I had Eggplant Rollatini and it was very tasty.  I don't care for eggplant, but since I cannot eat wheat/gluten, figured this was my best shot.  Would order this meal again.

My husband had Shrimp Scaloppini and he thought it was okay, nothing to scream about.  On a scale of 1-10 he would rate his dish a 6. He would not order this dish again.

My daughter had Pasta sampler which came with Ravioli, lasagna and manicotti.  She did not care for the Ravioli, and said it tasted kind of blah.

My son had Spaghetti with Italian sausage and he thought they gave too little meat in this dish, but the taste was good.  He would try something different next time.
