   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.

   Gnocchi were excellent but the portion was an appetizer plate. I needed to order a pizza too.

   The food was excellent, but unfortunately, the service did not match the excellence of the food. It was a very busy Tuesday night, but that being said, the staff should have been able to accommodate what they booked. Our server rarely came around to see what we needed and we asked several times of different people, including the waitress for water which we never got. When the bill came, I gave the server directions how to manage the different cards and cash and it was a giant mess up with no apology. After having a really lovely meal, despite the lack of water, this definitely upset me and left me with a sour feeling toward making a return visit.

   Best pizza I’ve ever had in the U.S.— possibly even in Italy. Giampiero is a master pizzaiolo. He’s an artist with hands of gold. Omar is our favorite server (although everyone is polite and professional) bc he’s warm, friendly, engaging, welcoming and really makes us feel like family. We drive about 2 hours to get here bc after you eat this pizza, mediocre just won’t do. Truly a must. In fact, we’re going back tomorrow! Yes! It’s THAT good!

   I came here at opening (12 pm) on a Sunday Oct 27. I ordered a gnocchi special appetizer and was astounded at the $28 price for 9 balls of butternut squash gnocchi. While it tasted good, it was a little too eggy for me and didn't taste like butternut squash. I really came here for the pizza, and I've been here several times before over the last several years, but this was the soggiest Neapolitan pizza my friend and I have ever had. It was not crispy on the edges at all for this style of pizza. The wood-fired oven seemed like it wasn't even on when we got there. I was very disappointed. The straw that broke the camel's back was the that I ordered a margarita pizza and a pistachio tiramisu To Go on a separate check. The tiramisu was very tasty but was overpriced at $16. The margarita was $18, which is pretty normal for the area. Yet, even with tax and a 20% tip, I was somehow charged $65 when it should've been about $45 and I didn't notice this until I looked at my bank statement a while later. I stupidly refused a receipt and I'm never making that mistake again. I don't think I'm ever coming back here.

    The food was so fresh and so delicious. Such great dining experience. We will be going back for sure! The pizzas are authentic and the ingredients are so so fresh. The gnocchi appetizer was a different twist on traditional gnocchi as it was a deep fried butternut squash gnocchi with a Gorgonzola cheese sauce. And the Cocolete for dessert was the best I’ve ever had! Just super!
