So when you are looking for a decent lunch restaurant in a town of 18,000 people, choices are usually pretty limited. But since I was out running around town with Mom and my daughter, you make your choice and hope for the best. When my mom mentioned Napoli's, I was skeptical as usual - especially since I did not have my smart phone to check it out on Yelp beforehand. However, small E. Texas towns are so under-Yelped, it was probably a moot point anyway. That said, I was pleasantly surprised with the Napoli's in Terrell. First of all, they have a first-class facility (see the Yelp pics!) that is well appointed with dark walls, some fresco paintings - just overall spot-on with respect to the ambiance for Italian. The seating was quick (it WAS 1PM on a Saturday) and service was attentive throughout the meal. I ordered the Sausage & Pepper Parmigiana ($8.95). While it was billed as 'served over spaghetti with mozzarella', I was pleasantly surprised by the 'pop' that the sauce created along with the sauteed sausage and red/green bell peppers. As hungry as I was, it was a struggle for me to eat half of this dish - and I don't miss too many meals! My daughter, who is usually a picky eater, was convinced to order the Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken (over angel-hair pasta to make it lighter) - which she enjoyed. I tasted this dish as well, and found it to have a rich taste - but not overly heavy. Only thing I was a bit surprised about was no olive oil for dipping provided with the wonderful hot garlic rolls they provide you. Overall, I'd give Napoli's a 4.5 stars as no one will have to twist my arm to go there again. read more

This is our go to Italian spot. Food is delicious and our family has tried just about everything on the menu and all of it has been great. I would go just for the bread!!! read more

I just ordered a To-Go order from here. When I arrived a girl set a bag in front of me and I asked if it was mine and they said yes so I moved it to the side so I could pay. Well they rang me up for the wrong order and when they realized it the same girl took the bag away. I got my order and left. Here's THE PROBLEM... I got a call from 1 of the girls that said the manager knows I TOOK said bag and that he SAW me take it!! Then I get a call right back saying they FOUND said bag and that it got "misplaced"?!? The girl apologized to me but it wasn't her fault this happened. Yet he was so fast to accuse the customer of stealing! To top it off instead of calling me HIMSELF to accuse me &/or apologize he had someone else do it for him! Don't know if I can go back there with they way they treat their customers... just seems way to arrogant for my taste. read more

The pizza was delicious. I was not so impressed with the ravioli, but the pizza was delicious. The courtesy bread is okay, I would ask for some marinara for it. I would also get dessert as it was delicious. read more

Hands down my favorite Italian!!! We eat there at least three times a month. Customer service is on point and they have absolutely DELICIOUS food. You've got to try the dipping oil with the fresh, hot rolls...house salad and chicken parmigiana with alla pana sauce read more

So glad we found this place! We were in from south Texas visiting family and I pulled up yelp to find a place to eat. The service was excellent, thank you Albert, and the food amazing! We will have to come back next time we visit! And you HAVE to try the lobster ravioli! read more

See all

The garlic rolls were good, but the salmon in my husband's salmon piccata was thin and over cooked, swimming in a watery sauce. My chicken florentine pasta was good, but when we saw a LIVE bug crawling in my daughter's salad, the meal was over. We got the manager and he said they didn't have bugs in the kitchen since they exterminate every 2 weeks. Bug man missed at least one. Won't be going back. read more

Had Tony Soprano ever gone to Terrell, Texas, this would have been a regular spot for him. Excellent fresh Italian food in a quaint little spot in Terrell. The homemade rolls are to die for. Be sure to ask your server to mix up some olive oil dipping mixture for your rolls. They don't automatically do it so you'll have to ask them for it. We've tried all of the staples, spaghetti & meatballs, lasagna, pizza, etc., and it is all good! read more

Consistently great food and service. I have been going here for years. Many great options, and they're all good. Try the Shrimp Scampi

Definitely the best Italian food in the area. The staff are always friendly, attentive, and happy to see you. I've never been disappointed with their food. Decent selection of wines. Clean and cozy. We love going to Napoli's. read more

No one eat here! They have moldy bread and the food is horrible!!!! The customer service is absolutely not professional do not eat here. I wouldn't even give them one star. Worst experience. read more

Food is awesome. The new waitress, Amber is fantastic as well. Very friendly and well mannered.

Napoli's was one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to. I was 100% satisfied with the food and desserts. I cannot wait to go again! Our family has a new favorite! read more

This was such a worthy stop. Must try the lobster ravioli. The sauce was delicious and had lots of lobster in the sauce!! The bread they give is such an appetizer you won't want to miss read more

On a long drive from Texarkana we stopped for our anniversary dinner at a quaint Italian place on the way home. We had salad, shared a pizza, and I had a glass of wine. Food was hot and fresh. Alfredo sauce was amazing. Prices were good, service was too. I recommend a stop here. read more

First time eating here. Food was mediocre. We ordered fried Calamari and it tasted old and very rubbery (more than usual). Lasagna was nothing to write home about, just basic lasagna, nothing more, nothing less. I had the aristocrat, it was decent, sauce was good and chicken was cooked well. Bread was good. Then we got the ticket. We were charged 27 dollars for everything and then was charged 32 to our card and no gratuity was included, I hadn't even filled out the slip yet! It wasn't until I brought it up to the front that they fixed it. Excuse was "there was so many people in line, and I wasn't paying attention". We will not be going back. Save your money and go to Roma's in Kaufman! read more

Service is amazing. We are always greeted with a hug from the guys. I almost always get the Cheese Ravioli in Alfredo Sauce. Fills me up every time. read more

Good pizza! Crust was crisp, not too much dough. Cheese is salty (makes it taste better!). Sauce was slightly lacking in its quantity on the pizza (add a little more sauce). Pizza was a 4/5. It taste a tiny bit like NY style pizza, but not quite. I would try this place out! They have many more menu items. 3.5 / 5 give it a try! read more

Not bad been here several times stay away from the stuffed mushrooms, quality of food has gone down over the years but not too bad

This was our first time to Terrell and by far this was the best Italian restaurant my family and I have eaten in the south. The service and food were fantastic. I would definitely recommend to anyone living in or visiting Terrell. read more

Both times we have gone the bread was cold, salad was wilted, sauce was nothing special and the service absolutely was terrible. My 6 year old thought her pasta dish was bad. 6 year old kids usually do not think a pasta dish of any kind is bad, right? Both times we visited were on Friday nights and the place was absolutely thronged with people. Maybe my expectations are just to high read more

This place must be under new ownership. It used to be good, but lately it has become a place to avoid. Some dishes are OK, but most are simply terrible; and the worst part is that if you complain, the staff just doesn't care! This is now the third time in two months that I should have sent my lunch back to the kitchen. Napolis no longer has any pride in what comes out of their kitchen, nor does it seem they care. If you have to have Italian, drive to Mesquite or Dallas; just don't drive here (Terrell, TX). read more

Very good food. They can be a little slow with service. If you are in a hurry, I would suggest to NOT eat here. It isn't fast food and it good, homemade type food. It is worth the wait. read more

Yes we had a large group but you were understaffed that night we had 1 waiter for 22 people. Food was good when it arrives but 2.5 hrs for dinner is nuts ! read more

We left highly unsatisfied with our experience. The spaghetti and meatballs was $12.00 and was very bland with next to no flavor, and it only came with three very small meatballs!! We had to wait about 10 minutes after we got our food just to waive down somebody else's waitress (to get our waitress) just to ask for extra meatballs. She never even came by to ask how our food was. Will definitely not be returning to Napoli's. Although, you may want to try the place out for yourself. The ambiance is nice. Just don't get the spaghetti, and go to the one in Forney instead. read more

Absolutely excellent food and superior service. For a small Italian restaurant in a small East Texas town it is better food than you could hope for. I highly recommend this restaurant for food and service. read more

Just fabulous. They have just the right amount of wine choices to complement the wonderful dinners they offer.

My husband and I have not actually eaten in the Terrell restaurant in a very long time. We live in Kaufman and Roma's WAS our go to fast food restaurant but was always poor for eating in. Then they moved to a new location next to Walmart. Initially, the food was the same and the atmosphere better (don't ask about their 'bar', no license in over 2 yrs) as in more open, cleaner and better seating overall. This only lasted a short time. The quality of the food steadily declined to where the pizza is mostly thick dough and nearly no toppings and the chicken dishes are obviously from frozen chicken. The stuffed mushrooms are now absolutely disgusting, the chicken piccata is inedible unless you like raw wine and so much lemon that you can only pucker! Anything with a pink sauce used the same sauce which is overly spiced with the same pepper paste - OMG! Roma's - what used to considered by us too expensive and to only purchase for a small celebration has become our ONLY Italian food goto!!! Most recently, I ordered fried calamari which turned out to be the best I have had since moving to Texas in 1981. If it started out as frozen, no one can tell. It was crispy, tender and non-greasy. Chicken Piccata was the same, non-greasy and the sauce was excellent, Chicken with jalapenos and pink sauce was non-greasy and amazing. We will NEVER go back to Roma's no matter how much we both support local business. There is an old adage - you get what you pay for. Well, you get the very best quality from Napoli's and garbage from Roma's. In all honesty, I grew up in an Italian neighborhood in NY and can probably even teach Napoli's a thing or two. However, I can absolutely tell you Roma's is not worth your time or money. Oh - we have not even tried Napoli's pizza - more comments to come later!! read more

Ok, I know it's Terrell,,,I know we are the black hole for culinary consciousness, but this was really pretty good! I have been to Italy during my work for my uncle, (Sam), he didn't pay well but travel was free so I have sampled real Italian Cuisine and this is pretty good. I even had brick oven pizza in Iceland, an Italian that used to be a whaler opened a real restaurant in Reykavik and he knew pizza! This is my first try for Napoli's and I am sorry I didn't try sooner! Wife had the Chicken Aristocrat which is eggplant and chicken both with a white wine Alfredo type sauce with provolone melted on top, she loved it. I had the Fruits de Mara in alla pana sauce. Fruits de Mara is seafood duh! lol alla pana is an awesome red and white sauce mix that was awesome! The service was great, they box the leftovers for you which means the portions were big. On the way out I mentioned a pizza I had in a hole in the wall brick oven place in Aviano Italy, it was all the seafood I had just eaten on my plate but in pizza form. I was told "no problem" when I came back again they would special make a Fruits de Mara pie just for me! In the immortal words of Douglas, "I will return"! read more

First off let me say that this restaurant embodies everything that Terrell is...which means that it SUCKS really bad! The dicks that run this place are rude as FUCK and the food is disgusting. After reading a lot of reviews for restaurants in Terrell I've noticed that the same exact people leave positive feedback for almost every restaurant so either these reviewers are 1) just fake Yelp accounts 2) just fucking stupid or 3) they like really bad food and service. It just boggles my mind!! On one of my visits to this place, before me and my wife stopped going here, I noticed that the dicks who run this place were very nice to the family in the booth next to us as they must have been regulars....(how? I have no idea). But with us they were the polar opposite. They were rude to us, our food was cold...the stuffed mushrooms tasted like they were heated from frozen..and the food, in general was nasty. But just to give them a chance me and my wife ate here at least 4 times and every time it was the same. The second that an Olive Garden finally opens up in this God-for-saken town this place is toast! So if you have extremely low expectations and love nasty food this is the place for you! read more

Came here tonight with my husband for our anniversary. Ordered the mozzarella sticks and stuffed mushrooms for appetizers. The mozzarella was awesome the stuffed mushrooms I probably will not order again cuz I'm not a big fan of bread crumb filling however the sauce and mushrooms were good. I ordered eggplant parmesan it is the best I've ever had! My husband had the Stromboli and it was full of meat and cheese the crust was perfect the accompanying sauce was excellent! The Bread Basket baskets that they bring to the table the bread is hot not too much garlic and extremely good! the service was impeccable! I had my wine refilled before even asking extra napkins were brought to the table. This is definitely a little gem in the middle of Terrell read more

I have eaten here many times. I think the service is good and the food is far above average. I highly recommend the white pizza and any of the shrimp dishes. read more

Pretty good food. Goo service. Food quantity is good but slightly over priced. Bread is good, if you get some fresh out if the oven. Probably my second favorite Italian place to dine. read more

We love Napolis. I guess you could call us regulars. When the waiters know your order when you enter the building, you are a regular. The pizza is our favorite and they substitute spinach in any of our salad orders. Service is always good. read more

Incredible dining experience! Treated like royalty by Donat. The food is amazing. They have amazing fresh rolls. We love the white pizza & the chicken picata is the best I've ever had. Don't mistake this Napoli's for the others. This one is the best by far! read more

Nice Italian food reasonably priced. Casual atmosphere with a friendly waitress. Extensive menu. Try the pasta alla Vongole, clams with pasta. Tasty. read more

Amazing food, and staff. Franco, Albert, and Donat are not only grate at there job they are incredible people. I have been going here for years and have really got to know them. read more

Really good food. You'll leave full. So much is handmade--even the noodles. Family owned.

This is not a 5 star restaurant, but it is darn close because of the freshness & expertly prepared dishes. We were passing through & stayed in Terrell mainly to be closer to Dallas in the am. This area seems to be a culinary wasteland EXCEPT for Napoli's. We dined on a Thursday night at around 7:30pm. We were cheerfully greeted & seated promptly in a corner booth. Delightful given the fact that we had been driving for 11 hrs. When our server came over, he recognized us from my earlier phone call. We were going to order wine by the glass, but he suggested we order a bottle as it would be cheaper. It was a J. Lohr Paso Robles Cab, which I really like. We didn't intend to order a salad, but Albert said he would make us a special one & he did. It was mixed greens, diced tomatoes, onions, cukes & fresh mozzarella with an oil & balsamic dressing--superb. I had the ziti pomodoro (their pastas are homemade!) & my husband had veal piccata. Both were wonderful. The tomato sauce was light & a little peppery, which I loved. We ate the leftovers for lunch the next day & it was still fabulous. While finishing our wine, we chatted with Albert & learned he is from Kosovo! What? Great Italian food from Kosovo. It turns out Kosovo isn't far from northern Italy, so the food is similar. The things you learn when you talk to people. We loved the restaurant, which has an Olive Garden vibe & is very clean. We loved Albert & the other wait staff. We will be back. Prego!!! read more

Considering this is an eating establishment in Terrell I was surprised by just how nice it was. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive. The entrées were vast and very Italianisc. I ordered the chicken parmigiana and my husband ordered chicken alfredo and we were both impressed with just how good it was. I would be remiss if I didn't brag about the delicious dinner rolls. Nearly as soon as we sat down the rolls came out and WOW they were delicious. If you are looking for fine Italian cuisine, a relaxed old world Italian atmosphere, and a fairly moderate price point I would recommend Napoli's. read more
