First time I visited Napoli in Bocca I thoroughly enjoyed their pizza and the desserts, and have been hooked on that restaurant since. But the second and third time I went, their famous and ever-so-popular tiramisu was sold out before I could order it. So this time I vowed to myself I WILL have a tiramisu at the end of my meal...
Our resident Italian colleague ordered on behalf of all of us, since he knows whats good, and saves us that decision making process and the possibility of double-up orders. Entree - herb and garlic pizza, and bruschetta pizza. Thin and crusty and very appetising, the bruschetta pizza was topped with piles of juicy ripe roman tomatoes. Then came our second course, two wood fired pizzas (both very simple) and three pastas (spaghetti marinara, gnocchi napolitana, fettucini carbonara). Then came a third course of one more pizza, one more pasta (penne with eggplant and tomatoes), and one that I wanted to try - calamari ripieni (stuffed calamari). All nice. The pizza had anchovy on top so it was a tad salty, but it's hard for me to explain how potent and tasty the salty fish was on the pizza!
Then I ordered the tiramisu I lust after but was unable to finish the creamy dessert simply because I had too much good food before that. Sigh...
I think everyone had a great time there and the food was, as always, up to scratch. But we were lucky to have had excellent attentive service because of our Italian friend (reading other people's reviews the service may not be consistent). The interior is now much more spacious and therefore more comfortable than it used to be before the renovation. I would not think twice about coming back here at all!
