Starting with the hostess, our server & everyone servicing our table they were absolutely kind, smiling, answered questions. But the real reason we went to Napkins was to try the food. Everything we ordered was delicious and spaced out so we could enjoy every bite without being rushed. We will definitely return to try more menu items!

We had Christmas dinner here, and it did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious. Two of us had the squid ink linguini with mixed shellfish and my husband had the chicken parm. Portions were quite small on the linguini dish and I kind of wish our meals could have included a salad or something, but that’s ok. Service was extremely quick and super-friendly. I would love to go back if we’re in the area again!

We had bahn mi sandwiches, noodle salad and the oxtail pappardelle. The pasta was the winner of the dishes - delicious and comfort food! That said the other dishes were also great. Noodle salad was fresh and flavorful. Bahn mi sandwiches were chowed down by our guests. Great experience with excellent service and an ecclectic menu.
