Napoletana aims to create the atmosphere of a typical Italian restaurant, which is no small task on Hamra Street. For the most part the owners have achieved this goal, but with a modern twist. Stylish modern lighting and voguish maps of Italy adorn the walls and the menu is packed full of all your Italian favourites. Traditional gourmet thin crust pizza are particularly tasty with buil-your-own flavour combos. Beyond that there are loads of salad and pasta options and a regrettably small selection of main courses.
The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, with friendly service and reasonable prices. Napoletana is a great restaurant to head to if you're looking for a quick and quality remedy for an empty stomach, and also a great place if you're picking somewhere that the whole family can enjoy. This is part of a chain with similar branches in Achrafieh and Dbayeh.
