No. Service guaranteed my order to my details but seriously failed to get it done.

Just traveling through and stopped here for a pizza dinner. The hostess gave us the option of…read morerooftop but we selected downstairs since it was raining. Service was quick and friendly. Our waitress KaShonda made what might have been a three star experience easily a four star. The menu warns that the Chicago style can take 45-75 minutes so we were quick to order it before appetizers. The food was tasty. Ordering two pizza styles is a challenge and our Margherita NY style originally came out over cooked. (Probably waiting on our other pizza to finish). KaShonda was apologetic and was quick to make the situation right. When a new pizza came out it was fantastic. I would return when back in the area.

Sunday evening (Father's Day) service was great, but the Kitchen was SO EXTREMELY SLOW. it took…read moreover 30 minutes for the first entree, an additional 45 minutes for the second (pizza) to arrive, and another 25 minutes for the final entree..? A large part of choosing to dine here was their Gluten-free menu, which was very tasty...but as a family, we'd like to dine together. I'm understanding, but several other tables that arrived after we ordered entrees were eating before two pizzas could be baked?!? Ridiculous. Will honestly not go out of my way to dine here again. I feel bad for the server (it was her birthday) and her team and management let her down.

There are restaurants and then there are dining experiences. Sapori di Napoli unquestionably…read morebelongs in the latter category. We were welcomed into a space that perfectly balances rustic charm with understated elegance .. warm and intimate, yet refined. Our waiter embodied the polished, attentive professionalism one expects to find in Paris or Vienna--knowledgeable, gracious, and ever present without being intrusive. The meal began with rustic Italian bread, crisp crust and a tender, airy center, paired with an exceptional olive oil infused with fresh herbs and garlic, the simplest things elevated to extraordinary. Our calamari appetizer was simply the best we've ever had. The squid was remarkably fresh, tender, with a feather-light, crisp batter and accompanied by a warm marinara that tasted as though it had been simmering all afternoon in an Italian kitchen. For entrée, my wife and I shared a flawlessly prepared filet mignon, a perfect mid-rare and finished with an indulgent Gorgonzola butter cream sauce. The accompanying crisp, frites were incredible dredged through that stunning gorgonzola sauce. Our guest chose the homemade lasagna, a dish that looked as though it had come directly from a Tuscan Nona's kitchen. His opinion carried particular weight--he is an international tour director who had just "eaten his way across Italy on lasagna." He declared this version equal to the best. Dessert was a shared tiramisu, dusted with aromatic espresso. It was light, perfectly balanced .. the finest tiramisu I have ever tasted. Yes, the final bill was on the high end for Monterey, but value is measured by the entire experience. A meal of this caliber would easily command twice the price in Nashville--assuming you could find a restaurant capable of delivering this level of authentic Italian cuisine and impeccable service. Sapori di Napoli has set a new standard for us. It will be the venue for all of our future special occasions

The ambiance is perfect for a romantic evening to remember - it feels as though you have been invited into a rustic Italian home for a night away. The music is soft and inviting, setting the mood while making a space for table conversations. As soon as we arrived our waiter, Andrew (who did an amazing job) served us water, lit a romantic candle on the table, and informed us of the nightly special. We never felt rushed throughout or meal, nor felt ignored. When we had questions, he gave excellent recommendations. For drinks, my girlfriend enjoyed a citrus sweet margarita (The Italian Margarita) and I a smooth, refreshing citrus gin. Regarding our food, for an appetizer, we enjoyed the fried ravioli - which was good, though a little heavy to start out the night. I would recommend a lighter appetizer for others (unless you have more than two persons at your table). While waiting for our entrees, we enjoyed a fresh salad and warm, crispy bread dipped in olive oil. For our entrees, we both selected the Carbonara - and it was phenomenal. Definitely recommend! Overall, the experience was excellent and one to remember. I highly recommend choosing Mauricio's for a special event!

When you go in, they don't spend alot on their appearance, but the food speaks for it's self. I grew up around Italians and I can say, this place is authentic. Thier sauce is home made and you can see fresh diced tomatoes and i could eat just a bowl of that. Friendly staff. Only 2 things that i could mention, bring a scrabble game or have great conversations because the chef makes your plate individual from scratch, but worth the wait, and you have to order the bread, it doesn't come w the meal, but they are good. I hate letting everyone know about this hidden treasure, I'm afraid I will have to wait in line for a table or put on a waiting list for a reservation. Its a good size restaurant, and I have eaten there 2 times. I'm trying to get my Chuch to all go there soon. Thanks for picking Rickman Finally a place near home to take guests, and not have to go to Demo's about a hour or more away.

Their building always feels like home, and smells amazing. It's impossible to leave hungry!

Their menu specials are always changing and I am amazed at the variety and freshness of all their ingredients. How they source such authentic Italian cuisine in the middle of TN is beyond me. If Ariola's was located in a major city it would absolutely be Zagat rated and most likely Michelin guide mentioned. It is truly a hidden gem that you cannot miss if you are in the upper Cumberland area!

Just a suggestion: since Tuesday's seem to be a slow night, maybe you could attract a more mixed aged crowd with music other than head banging or heavy metal. From 5:30 pm to 6:45, I think you only had one couple come in for pizza. There was one at the bar. Not my favorite music. I know you are across from TTec. But a variety of music could attract other patrons. Just a thought!
