Hello Lovelies!
I had some friends in town last month and they were going to my favorite and happiest place on earth Disneyland! I was so excited for my friend Ally it was going to be her first time at the park and me being a previous season pass holder I helped her map out what rides and sights to see. We walked around downtown Disney and decided to eat at Naples. It was a very welcoming restaurant and pizza always is a good idea. We sat outside and shared a margarita pizza Caesar salad and a pitcher of Stella beer.
I loved the pizza its crust was cooked to a perfect crisp. The oven bakes at 700 degrees and is a brick oven you can view from the moment you walk inside. We just missed happy hour it is from 2-5 p.m. daily! The pitcher of beer was just as good for three people sharing. We also took a shot to celebrate them coming to visit me and Disneyland! We also got a photo taken of us to keep as a souvenir. You can get 5x7 framed photos for a cost or a little post card collage for free. It was a nice gesture the restaurant offers to guests to remember their time at Naples. I loved how the outdoor seating was so spacious and had dangling lights all around it was such a nice ambiance. There is also seating up stairs outside that overlooks the Disney walk you can have private parties up and have the space to yourself. There is some seating inside as well upstairs and downstairs with bar seating as well.
I was so impressed with Naples I decided to go back and try more items that they are known for. I sat outside again since it was such a beautiful night at a nice little table surrounded by trees and plants. I had mule flight that gave me a taste through Italy with some sweet selections. My favorite was the Sicilian it was a nice mix off ginger and sweet. I also enjoyed their calamari for an appetizer it was so flaky and good. Not over breaded or cooked in any way just right I love a lot of lemon on mine and used about 3 wedges. Really brings out the flavors and the marinara for dipping just made everything come together so deliciously. For my main entrée I tried the Gargonelli pasta with white cream sauce. It was a wonderful recommendation from Assistant manager Todd Benson. It was similar to chicken alfredo with pieces of broccoli inside. I topped it off with red pepper flakes, because you know me and spicy! I finished a third of it and boxed the rest up for lunch the next day. The portion size was big enough for two or three people. Of course no great dinner can go without dessert! I had a lovely light and fluffy Tiramisu it paired nicely with my cappuccino. It was a great end to a wonderful evening in one of my favorite places in California.
Naples is such a popular place that they are expanding not only their restraunt and seats, but their bar as well! They are adding in more pizza ovens to be able to accommodate takeout orders and all this is set to start this January 2018. The company hopes to finalize the re model by late Fall of 2018. I can’t wait to see it and watch the transformation. I hope you lovelies stop on by if you are ever in the Anaheim area! Free parking Validation when you dine with Naples as well! Just an added bonus! Thank you again to my server Jessica for taking great care of me and Todd for such a lovely time!
Have a great rest of your week lovelies!
