    Eggplant parmigiana on Spaghetti Marinara
    Bill K.

    The ambience is casual and booth or table seating is available. Parking can be tight unless you are willing to walk a ways. The service was prompt. Polite and not over the top. I got the eggplant parm. It was very different from any I have ever had. No breading. It was eggplant sliced very thin on top of spaghetti and marinara sauce. Lots of cheese. It was really different and very good. The water tasted really bed (Belton water) it should be filtered or in some water "fixed". The price was reasonable.

    Our receipt which they charged more for than on their website
    Katie S.

    *Watch what you are charged* I'll start off by saying the food is pretty darn good. The first few times we went, we enjoyed ourselves. We ordered pickup today and I'm definitely irritated with a few things. I called in and placed my order, the young man was very friendly. I was looking on Napoli's own website at their menu and prices and ordered manicotti & fettuccine. When my husband returned, he handed me the receipt which showed a higher price than it should've been going by their own website. I called in to ask and the employee said they haven't updated their site in quite a while. Aside from being up charged on two items, I was extremely disappointed to open my container and see the 4 extremely tiny manicotti's sitting there. It wasn't worth the money unfortunately. We were also charged for using our card which stinks. This is a cute little place and I've told so many people about how we enjoy it here, but we may be rethinking returning in the future :(

    This pizza was so good! .  Can't wait to go back !

    Service was great, food was amazing, garlic bread is so good!! The environment is great too! So so happy we came here for lunch ! 5 out of 5 stars

    Lobster Ravioli was delicious. Rich sauce and ravioli was hand made.
    Bryan D.

    We were in downtown Belton and stopped on because of the positive reputation in the community. The service was super nice and the chef told us how items were handmade. The Risotto ai Funghi was the rock star of the evening. Rich and creamy and perfectly prepared. Lobster ravioli was the pleasing bit we might get something different next time. The food was served with warm garlic bread and it was all wonderful. We enjoyed our relaxing time here and enjoyed it quite a bit.

    The veal patty, not a real piece of veal and dry spaghetti.
    Rick E.

    I thought that having a nice Italian meal would be a good idea, even though I have had a great time when they first opened, and it eventually became not so good as the years rolled on. One more chance I thougt...one more chance. Well, the place was packed, and I expected it to take some time, but over 10 minutes to be acknowledged by staff when entering, then having no one come over to ask for drinks for another 10 minutes, then the person never came back, then 10 more minutes and another staff member finally came to ask for drinks. It then took 10 more minutes to get them, and we finally ordered our food. All this time, another member of staff was serving the table in front of us and was the original server that never came back with our drinks. I asked repeatedly for the rolls that come with the meal and they showed up after we received our appetizer. The appetizer was good, the rolls when they finally appeared were also tasty, and then we got the soup we ordered, and no spoons. When our mains came 10 minutes later, we had to ask for the spoons and after another long wait, we received them...iced tea spoons, not soup spoons. My main was supposed to be veal, usually I have received a piece of veal, not a processed veal patty and spaghetti that looked like it was sitting under a heat lamp for a while before being served to me. The booths are not anchored down, so the people behind me who had no control of their child, spilled a soda all over their table and floor, and ended up pushing their seat back pushing me into my table. My experience there took almost two hours, far too long. All-in-all, never will go back.....nope, never again.

    A quaint place to get a nice drink downtown Belton…read more Small, cozy interior with nice furnishings. Patio with a fire pit. This is not a sports bar. Great selection of Irish, Scottish, and American whiskeys. Limited selection of beer. Bottles/cans only. I wish they had Guinness on tap. Smithicks and Harp would be nice options too. Very limited wine selection. Nice glassware which elevates the overall experience. The bartender was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and a well trained mixologist. She made us feel welcome and like valued guests. We will be sure to return. This place does a good job staying on theme.

    It's small town for sure so it has fun cute like vibe going on but again what places doesn't -…read moreordered three drinks and lemon water for our non drinker of the group - the non alcohol drink was some weird mix of something but def not the Lemon water expected. 30 min pass before they brought him a drink of water just to have something for the night after we asked if they could correct the drink. We never saw our waitress again and the owner had to ring us up after we stood at the bar looking out of place because we were trying to find our waitress. All that aside it wasn't a big deal because it is Saturday and it's expected to be a little busy (but this place isn't that big) .... We even tipped fairly and they did apologize, however for it to be a small town bar ... it def had large metro prices - my drink was 21$ and some change. 3$ for some drops of bitters in a bourbon that isn't anything fancy shouldn't be in that price range - we sorta like the place but it's not affordable for families that are like most struggling mid class. These high liquor prices could be why the industry is seeing less and less crowds and/or public liquor purchasing. Roll the dice on this one if you just want something different but save a few weeks to afford the bill - we had a 60+ $ bill for three drinks. 3 Stars for avg , unfortunately nothing here makes it a wow factor. It's ok if you like ok places.

The reasons have kind of been piling up over the year, but enough is enough. - I don't understand why the charge for extra sauce is 75 cents to $1. The amount of sauce provided is just never enough - My signature dish here is the fish and chips. Today, they were completely over cooked - very dark on the outside. - The fries were not cooked long enough and I could be wrong, but it seems like the types of fries used here changes all the time - The entire staff (even the guy in the kitchen) are staring at their cell phones. I wanted to take a picture, but didn't want to violate privacy concerns - I miss the weekly specials - it's what drew me here in the beginning. - I've had several of the other dishes, but they just didn't "wow" me. The burger is way too messy, the wraps fall apart after a few bites, and the chicken shawarma requires sauce to have any kind of flavor. I'm sorry to have to stop coming - the owners used to be here all the time, but now it seems like it's just kids running the place. Time to find the next hole in the wall that I like to eat and work at. Respectfully, Marc

    I have been driving by this place for MONTHS after a tornado ripped thru this part of Temple. After…read morerefurbishing I heard they changed it up a bit so I suggested to the hubs that we try them out for date night - and MAN were we Supremely happy we did!! This little place is completely redone inside to look like a high class bar and dinner venue!! We stared w the Ahi Tuna Crudo - super fresh Ahi tuna beautifully presented with a surprising and refreshing arrangement of pickled celery, and sweet Italian peppers, served over a delicate avocado puree and tiny dots of citrus ponzu. The plate was Beautiful! Our next adventure; lightly charred pieces of octopus atop slightly pureed cannelloni beans. Now this is an unlikely and unusual pairing, but it WORKS!! SPLENDIDLY!! And again, the presentation is beautiful Generous portions of octopus with a char that gives it a slight smokiness and perfectly cooked to make for a tender bite and with the puree? Not since Italy have we been so amazed!! The saltiness with hints of chilis in the background, the texture of the beans, the slight chew and smoothness of the octopus; an elevated flavor combo that knocks it out the Park! As we wait for our main courses the restaurant fills with patrons and I'm gazing around, noting the Huge pizza oven. It's rustic and beautifully made; tiny tiles overlaying its upper surface making for a gorgeous and impressive visual in the midst of the bustling kitchen. I love that it is used as a WALL of sorts on its outer edge. I also love that one has a view of the kitchen via a smallish viewing glass next to the oven. Another site is the bar! Now mind you. This is TEMPLE. But this bar, and really the entire inside of this establishment is something you'd expect to see in the bigger cities like Austin or Dallas!! It's Truly a class act!! White linen clad tables, servers dressed black and white, beautiful decor. Not something you would expect in this area!! Our awesome server Austin takes excellent care of us; taking the time to stop in often to chat and share with us his wanderings, life experiences, and Menu Expertise!! We love the interaction! And then Austin brings out our MAINS!! And OH MAN GUYS.... First up is the Osso Bucco. I've had Osso Bucco in many places; I've MADE Osso Bucco. This is PERFECTION. Not too much demi which is almost ALWAYS the case, in stead of Drowning in the sauce this dish gives just enough so that you can scoop up perfect bites of light and creamy polenta. Not a trace of its gritty source this polenta is airy and buttery smooth promoting mere corn to another level altogether. The Real Star here tho is the Veal Shank. We are presented with lavish portion - the shank bone is served with a tiny bone fork alongside; given to scoop out the unctuous velvety richness that is the inner MARROW!!! And when I say wow? I mean WOWWWWWWW The flavor of the shank is a consume of beefy richness with hints of herbs As much as I LOVE LOVE LOVED the veal tho? The homemade pasta stole it for me honestly. Now, my hubs and I are blessed enough to go to Italy a couple times a year, and we have YET to taste pasta like this!! La Riv makes their own pasta in house and GUYSSSSSSSS we tried the Pappardelle with beef rib; Gorgeous braised beef chunks swimming in a delicate jus and herb ricotta to mix in. The beef is melt in your mouth tender while the Pappardelle has a slight bite telling you it is FRESH!! I LOVE the texture of this pasta. It is my favorite of the pasta cuts and I just could not get enough!!! But I had to hold myself back so I wouldn't eat ALL of hubs dish!! We absolutely Love this little Gem on W Adams in Temple. It's unassuming but I Guarantee will knock your socks off!! The staff are wonderful, and your taste buds will be treated to a Real Italian Flavor Adventure!!

The food was fabulous. Highly recommend the ravioli which is made fresh in house. We added salmon to the ravioli order. Salmon was a nice thick cut and not overcooked. Polenta was creamy and savory. The pizza is rustic style and such a treat. I was surprised the Caesar salad didn't come with anchovies as most upscale restaurants serve it like this. I did not care for the spice on the broccolini - I was not expecting it. The broccolini has a beautiful smoky charred flavor with pine nuts and they put some sort of spicy chili oil on it that I found distracting. Great wine list and cocktails but I wish they could expand their wine by the glass menu. Hopefully they offer a rotating seasonal menu because it seems they keep the menu pretty tight, which is ok with me as long as they change it up a couple times a year.
