I went here for the first time and I would definitely come back! You get started with some bread, which was your basic sort of bread with garlic, it wasn't life changing but I was glad to have it! We then got fried mozzarella as an appetizer, which I was pretty disappointed in honestly, it was just cheese sticks and idk maybe that's on me and my expectations but I really would have thought it would have been a bit more elevated at an Italian restaurant. Next was my pasta, now I got the spaghetti carbonara and it wasn't like an carbonara I've ever had. Again maybe I don't know what spaghetti carbonara is and that's why I was disappointed so I put that on me. The pasta was... good enough for the price and then portion was HUGE. The truth is, this isn't an elevated Italian restaurant and more like a family Italian restaurant (nothing wrong with that, just not what I was expecting) They have a massive menu so I would come back now knowing what to expect

Lasagna

My family and I just had an early dinner here and we really enjoyed ourselves. I believe it is ran by a mother/ daughter duo, but I could be wrong. I loved the decor- the floor to ceiling curtains added a bit of drama to the room and the light fixtures created a very nice, comfortable, chic vibe. The service was amazing. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. The bread served before the meal was light and fluffy and there was an abundance of butter available on the table. I wanted to order a drink, but there wasn't a drink menu, so I ordered an Aperol Spritz. It wasn't my favorite, but my mother-in-law liked it. The Stromboli, Shrimp Alfredo and Spaghetti with Meatballs were served in HUGE portions. The lasagna portion was practical. Lasagna was good and cheesy and was served piping hot out of the oven/broiler. The shrimp to alfredo sauce ratio was a little off (too much pasta). My husband wasn't thrilled that the talks had been left on the shrimp either, but the frosty glass for his beer was a nice touch!

Lemoncello spritzer

Food: sausage in sauce appetizer was perfect. side salad was ok, dressing seemed to be a mixture of cocktail sauce, olive oil, vinegar and seasonings. Fettuccine with red clam sauce had a lot of meat in it, larger chunks as well, these honestly didn't seem like clam meat, the homemade fettuccine had a great bite to it. The lemon mascarpone cake seemed like a white cake that was a bit denser similar to a pound cake, lemon mascarpone frosting could have been lemon extract. The lemoncello spritzer was good, wasn't bubbly, but was delicious . All in all a good meal although not the type of Italian meal that I have commonly had. Service: literally exceptional, these people work very hard and are moving at all times to accommodate people. Ambiance: the place was very colorful and busy, it kind of reminded me of a lot of little side Italian businesses. This place seems on the newer side, I assume they are working out some kinks, it's good, and I believe that it could be great.

Was looking for a chill bar nearby to pass some time and came across this gem. Sat at the bar and were the first customers for the day. I was thrilled to learn that this is a family-owned business and the proprietors are actually from Italy. The bartenders was so sweet and pleasant and the Prosecco I ordered was wonderfullly chilled and bubbly. Had the Shrimp Roma for something light to eat and it was delicious! The decor is absolutely beautiful but quaint with Italian songs playing overhead. Definitely the chill atmosphere I was looking for and can't wait to return to try some of the food.

Felt like I was at fazolis only without the free breadsticks

Terrible service!! Server was awful . Another server Offered to replace my pasta and I kept insisting no. She still did and charged us for both orders and it was their servers error. Food was mediocre at best.

Spaghetti with basil, olive oil and garlic
Psu N.

Ordered takeout after reading reviews and read their menu. I dont like eating out for Italian unless they make their own pasta. Menu says homemade pasta. Well its not homemade nor is it authentic italian. Maybe authentic americanized italian. $6 for this salad and $19 for this pasta with fresh basil, olive oil, and garlic......looks like dried basil mixed in oil. It did have chopped garlic. Our other dish was spaghetti with meatballs. It was good, nothing special. I dont know who these people are who say the pasta is homemade? It definitely is not homemade. If you like boxed pasta and dishes you can get at most americanized italian restaurants, you may enjoy this place.

Fun decorations!

I'll post again! The food is great! The service! They treat you like family! Clean and very comfortable! Give these folks a try!

Food is Amazing! Service is great! David makes you feel right at home.. and the food, did i mention the food? It's great! Thx for a relaxing delicious meal. Reminds me of my Grandmother's cooking.

Cool atmosphere

I tried the chicken and broccoli over tortellini! The sauce was excellent!! The inside of the restaurant was very cool. A fun place to eat! The servers were all actually Italian which made it feel very authentic.

Inside Napoli's

I was craving a slice of tiramisu and came across Napoli's! Decided to give it a try, and I am glad I did. While I didn't try anything else on the menu except tiramisu, I can almost guarantee the food is equally as delicious. The tiramisu was amazing and tasted fresh!! Not only that, the waiter (I didn't get his name) was incredibly nice. I will be coming back for dinner with my partner soon :)

My sister and I were looking for an Italian dinner in town after a weekend long wedding. We saw this one on Yelp so grabbed an Uber from our hotel and headed over. The decor inside is very welcoming. One of the owners sat us at a table and told us the history of how they started. They started us with this bread that was delicious. My sister ordered the chicken capellini because she wanted a lot of veggies and I ordered the manicotti. Both were really good but we also had to take some back to the hotel with us because couldn't finish our meals - which is a good thing for portion size! The only bad thing was the price. It was my fault for not double checking our bill before paying but it took so long to get them to bring the check and then again so long for them to run the card that we just wanted to get back to the hotel and sleep. But the total was just under $90 (with tip) and with each entree being $18 and $20, that means are two cocktails had to be close to $20 each. I should have double checked the receipt and that's on me but even if it was correct, that's pretty price for a glass of bubbles and an aperol spritz. Overall, delicious food though.

Fantastic food, charming waiters. Simple and delicious. The pizza crust is so well made, a lot of paces can't make a good crust.

Dee-Dee’s Beef - Dee-Dee's Cutlets Sandwich

Dee-Dee’s Beef

5.0(6 reviews)
1.5 mi

I ordered a Dee-Dee's Cutlets Sandwich (on the restaurant week's menu) to go. It was delicious! The…read moresandwich contained a big chicken cutlets, and mozzarella (kind of herb seasoned), and was just suitable for feeding me full during dinner. People here were so nice and friendly! I see that it's only open during dinner time through Thursday to Saturday. I think students would be happy if Dee-Dee's Beef could expand its opening hours to lunch throughout the week! Looking forward to that to happen!

Prediction: Dee-Dee's Beef will soon become a Champaign-Urbana institution…read more This place is the real deal. They know what they do extraordinarily well and stick to it. I had never had an authentic Italian beef sandwich before, but after last night, I knew I had had the best in the state, outside of Chicago perhaps. Their menu is straight-forward and harkens back to deli and sandwich shops of old. In fact, I had assumed that Dee-Dee's had been around for decades. My combo sandwich was heavy duty, bursting with beef, juice, and flavor. If you are a more economical eater, unlike myself, then you could certainly get two meals out of it. Customer service was above and beyond. I imagine that I corresponded directly over the phone and counter with one of the Owners when placing and picking up my order. Located in the Cracked restaurant space right on Green Street, they are open three days a week (for now) and accept all major credit cards. We will be back, no question.
