Overall our first experience at Napoli Kirkwood was excellent. The food was cooked perfectly, the portions generous, the ambience was intimate and the service (Gabe) was spot on. We were hoping for delicious, well prepared Italian food and we got it!

We had a wonderful evening. The food, cocktails, and wine were delicious ... though the Monk Fish was a little over-done. The waitstaff is superb ... splendid wine recommendations and attentive to absolutely everything! Madrina is a really excellent place for an evening out!!
