    This place is the best of the best. I haven’t had a pizza in the States that can hold a candle to Song E Napule. Today we went and tried their butternut squash gnocchi— they are soft, pillowy, round shaped fresh pasta but they’re stuffed in the middle. I can’t tell you with what except that they were phenomenal and a must have. We shared them as an appetizer. Of course we don’t go there without getting a pizza from Giampiero, who has quickly become my favorite pizzaiolo, and he didn’t disappoint. Feels like heaven with every bite! This man is a maestro I tell you! I love him! I also had the privilege of meeting Giuseppe, who I believe is also a chef and pizzaiolo. What a delight! All of the food was fantastic, The Saltimbocca special is a slam bang winner! For dessert we ordered cappuccino (did I mention they have the best coffee?!) and then Omar came over and told us that the chefs were making a special dessert for us. OH. MY. GOODNESS. Or I should say “Maronna mi!” This was one of the best desserts we’ve ever had! It was like a fresh jelly and perfectly sweetened cream cheese donut— except it was like a calzone. I seriously have no words for this sinfully delicious treat that we couldn’t help but polish off even though we were trying to stay away from desserts! We said “it’s the holidays! When are we going to eat this again?!” And we savored every bite of that crunchy, yet soft and oh so flavorful outside and that velvety goodness that was on the inside. WOW! If I could give this place 10 stars I would. They’re amazing! Eduardo came over to us and knew our names and was so kind and welcoming and Kevin was great and very accommodating. Omar is our usual server who really makes us feel like family. Great food. Great location (we always find parking). Great people. Very Clean! Who could ask for more? This place is a gift. We’re already planning on going back next week. Caution: When you leave, a little piece of your heart will remain at Song E Napule.

    This was a fantastic choice for my boyfriend’s birthday! He was delighted with the decorations, the diversity in food choices, and impressed with the authentic yet unique flavors! Service really enhanced the experience and yes, I purchased a birthday package for which I’d highly recommend. Thank you for helping make this birthday man’s special day so memorable!
