Always happy to eat Italian and Bella Napoli is supposed to bring an authentic touch. Cute Italian bistro initially lost some points until I got a lesson in authenticity. But my surprise and disappointment at eating perfectly prepared fresh grilled eggplant cold, quickly dissipated when world traveler Sara clued me in that in Italy, cold veggies rule. The taste was beautiful--I just wasn't used to that temperature. I scooped some onto my Pizza Margarita and it really jazzed it up. My favorite plate of the evening, however was Mr. Refs calzone. Not the kind of thing I would usually waste calories on--too big, too much bread from the looks of it, but I didn't count on the big taste! Gotta go back and get me one of those! And it sure didn't hurt that the house red (Chianti) was inexpensive but luxurious tasting, and perfect with the Italian bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic.
Mrs. Refs final score 4/5.
