Patrons describe unresponsive staff, subpar dishes that fail to impress, and even unsanitary conditions. Complaints about the ambiance, with outdated decor and messy floors, abound. While some diners have praised attentive service and delicious meals on occasion, these positive experiences seem outnumbered by growing dissatisfaction. Many long-term customers express disappointment, suggesting they may not return. As this establishment struggles with inconsistency, it faces challenges that may jeopardize its future in the competitive dining scene.

I am writing this mostly to remind my neighbourhood that La Piccola Napoli exists, and because our community Facebook site regularly has new visitors who
I guess you have to be a regular who tips well to get anything like service here. Two of us were being "treated" to dinner here by someone who is a regular. She was greeted by the waiter / maitre d' like a long lost daughter, and older man with a raspy voice. When she began to introduce us to him he cut her off and refused to acknowledge our existence - incredibly rude. We then listened for 5 minutes to his recent medical history before he lead us to our table. His service continued to be rude and perfunctory to the guests and fawning and too familiar to our hostess. The food itself was nothing special -bland veal al fungole in a generic red sauce, indifferent salmon; the buns were fresh and warm, vegetables crisp and fresh but very spare. Absolutely nothing special, nothing to write home about. And given the rude service from the waiter, we won't be back and will not agree to be "treated" here again.
We were there on a Friday evening. The restaurant was very quiet when we arrived for our 6PM reservation but it filled up quickly as our meal progressed. Service was efficient and friendly. We were a group of 7 Family and Eextended-family members. The food was very good, portions were appropriate (not too much, but ample for all appetites - one diner had to take her pasta vongole home and when it was eaten a day later, pronounced it "delicious") Wine choices were very good according to our wine "selector" and although I did not see the list, prices seemed in line with expectations. There were daily specials offered which many of us did select - all were delicious. I had the salmon trout served on a bed of spinach. The fish was perfectly cooked and the accompaniments were lovely. It was the perfect backdrop for all the lively conversation and anecdotes which are the core of any reunion. Bravo!
