I would gain a LOT of weight if we lived near L'Apetito

A few weeks ago, I had a Home Buddies job in North Naples taking care of 3 funny cats (Asia, Hunter & Jade) and a very sweet Greyhound named Koby. 

Near their home is L'Appetito (2542 Northbrooke Plaza Drive, Naples). A small pizza shop & deli that can do no wrong in my eyes. It was Friday night, we had worked a long day at Camp Bow Wow. We were hungry, but FULL of patience.

The restaurant was full. One of the waiters had called in sick (or something) so the other two waitresses were scrambling to take care of all of the customers. Dominic and I sat down and waited. Within a few minutes, one of the servers greeted us and told us they would be with us as quickly as they could. This meant the world to us! Recently, we decided to give Naples Flatbread a try. We waited for about 10 minutes and watched about 4 servers pass us by. Not once did anyone greet us or make eye contact. We left.

At L'Apetito, it didn't matter "whose" table it was. The servers were working as a team and soon one of them was advising us on their many pasta dishes. Dominic went for the "Chicken Marsala" and I, knowing well how good their pizza is, opted for the personal pizza and a small order of their boneless chicken wings... HOT... should have gone for the "inferno". As we feasted on the tasty food in front of us, we sipped on the classiest of wines... "Carlo Rossi's Paisano". 

We were very disappointed in the end because despite the fact that we were strategically seating in front of the cannoli shell storage and kept drooling at the anticipation... they were out of the filling and we were unable to indulge!
