Naples 45, a Patina property with an-Empire worthy dining room and terrace, is typical of the power-lunch and early-evening rendez-vous venues in the neighborhood. Buzzing with activity in the mornings and at lunch, the pace slows down for the evening as the last of the commuters and tourists ease on to other parts of town.
The cuisine covers the expected territory: bruscetta, calamari, Caprese salad, pizza with a slightly thicker crust than the New York slice, penne, lasagna and grilled fare.
For the true pizza lover, the pizzas are worth exploring. The wine list is decent and the staff friendly. Good for the power lunch, large groups of travelers or those who have missed a train and are delayed.
