& Recognition
Warm
and Inviting Restaurant Wins People’s
Palates and Votes
Charm
and elegance are at the heart of exceptional
Italian cuisine: That’s what people have
discovered at Napoli’s Café. This celebrated
Stittsville eatery is a special treat.
The authentic, mouth-watering food, the warm,
welcoming ambience and the exceptional, personal
service are evidence that this family run Italian
café is all about fabulous hospitality. The
attention to detail is superb: water glasses are never
empty, the homemade bread is always warm and
fragrant and the food is always hot.
The People’s
Choice Award as Goulbourn’s Restaurant
of the Year is recognition that the establishment
is operated by people who care.
Bassel
and Milad Khalil opened the restaurant in
1993. They were able to capitalize on the experience
they gained at the restaurant their parents
operated in the west end, one of Ottawa’s first
and best pizzerias. “Being a
family owned and operated restaurant, we believe in what we
serve, we take great pride in what we create and how it is
presented,” says Bassel. “My
family and I would like to welcome you to your second home.”
Napoli’s
menu offers everything from homemade pasta and fresh veal to top
grade steaks and seafood entrees. Try the grilled salmon served
over mushroom risotto, or the
rosemary infused rack of veal and grilled vegetables over garlic
mash and tarragon sauce. There’s also an extensive wine list.
Enjoy weekday lunch at Napoli’s. For
those summer nights Napoli’s offers a patio for a candle light
dinner, a private get together with family friends or
an office party. The dining room is being expanded this fall.
Catering and a take out service are also available.
For a
candlelit dinner, a get together with friends or any occasion,
Napoli’s is sure to please.

We were there for a girls night out and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our food! It is so nice to have a gem like this in our neighbourhood, as busy mums, we don't want to go downtown.

Bassel, just wanted to send a short note of thanks for putting on a great dinner for us on Thursday evening ... food was outstanding, service was top drawer - your daughter Nicole did a great job taking care of the gang and providing top end service.
Many thanks and look forward to seeing you again soon.

My friend and I ordered the chicken diablo but found the chicken overcooked and dry. It needed a sauce to go with it and was lukewarm when it arrived. I did not send it back as we were with friends and did not want to make a fuss. Our husbands enjoyed their meal which was different from ours. The waitress was attentive and the atmosphere was great.

It was the first time at your restaurant and we enjoyed it. Our friends who we were with live in Stitsville (we're in Winchester) but they hadn't been there either. We were there to discuss our upcoming CIBC Run for The Cure team so we didn't just sit down & order as you would for dinner. However, our servers were very attentive to that so they did not rush us but kept an eye for when we wren ready. The food was great! My husband (mr picky) order spaghetti & meatball and was very impressed!!! I had the manicotti which was excellent& our friends were also impressed with their meals. Booking the reservations online was very easy. The only area which I thought was disappointing was the loudness off the restaurant. I have cancer that has matastised to the brain and the noise made it difficult for me to hear and focus on our table conversation. However, I understand that you cannot control everything just something to think about. Other then that we certainly enjoyed it, would definitely go again and have even recommended it other friends.

Very good food & service. My husband says it's the best lasagna he's ever had. Only issue I had was with the online booking. Unable to make a change so I had to leave a voicemail. Called back again to confirm the change was made as didn't receive a call or any kind of email notification. The booking reminder came after I changed the date as far as I can recall. Have recommended you to friends & colleagues.

Good Morning Basil,
We enjoyed our Friday evening dinner as usual. Nicole was a great server and attentive all night. Your mussels appetizer are the best. Donna's veal dish was perfectly done. My veal chop was a bit more fatty than I would hope for but well cooked and presented.
All the best,
Donna and Bob Thomsen

I have heard from a number of guests giving great reviews and thanking us for such a great evening and I know that every single one of our family and guests had the time if their lives. It was a real world class evening of dinner and a show...and the food, well, the food was excellent as always and please pass my compliments to the chef.

Hi Basil: I just wanted to say thank you for a great Lunch. I've had lots of positive feedback. The food was great and there was lots of it, which kept the guys very happy, and us girls didn't leave much behind either. In particular, thanks for being so accommodating with the allergy considerations. I thoroughly enjoyed my dairy free meal :)
Again, thanks and have a very Merry Christmas

What a great
night! Well done everyone. To bring a small group of people
together for a few hours of laughs and fun and great food AND
raise over $30,000 is a real feat and speaks to how hard
everyone worked on the evening and how passionate we are for our
community.
Many Thanks.

Well just sat
down at my desk from a morning of meetings, you think I would be
tired but I am still so happy from such a successful
night! Between the hosts, Bassel and Milad and all of
their staff the night was a huge success! Bassel did not
disappoint and made everyone happy with his famous dance
moves. A great turnout of players that added to the event
atmosphere and excitement. The live auction was a huge
success! LOTS of adds on that have all been recorded and much to
organize but it is a pleasure to do so. The total for Live
Auction was $28,600.00 Raffle was also a great success and
thanks for our great volunteers Josh, Janelle and Ryan I could
not have done this without you! The total for raffle was
$2515.00 ! So the grand total is $31,115!!!!
Congratulations to all.

We
have lived in Kanata since 1978 and over the years we have
visited your restaurant and have always been pleased with the
food,wine, and service. Last night was no exception. My
wife had delicious pasta with asparagus and I had delicious
cannelloni. The escargots were nice and hot served with
beautiful mushrooms. The starter Caesar was excellent. We had a
very good wine in Sangiovese and Pinot Gregio. I enjoyed
your coffee so much that I had 2 cups. Unfortunately we could
not have dessert as we were full. Erica our server was
fast,efficient,and courteous and always a smile on her face. One
important factor I have found for a restaurant to be successful
is clean washrooms and you met the test. we hope to be
back soon.
Continue
success, Have A Great Day

Thanks
to you and Jo-anne and your brother and all of your very warm
and talented staff for the fun filled, fantastic evening.
That was a tremendous amount of work for all of you and would
have required detailed planning but I can tell you as a guest it
was well worth it and for a terrific cause. I am sure you
are all very tired today and in your business there is no rest
for the wicked. We had a blast!! The food was awesome and the
atmosphere first class. Baseell you should be in show
business - you are just the best. Thanks again for a
fabulous evening.

Bassel,
Thank
you very much for helping to make our nursing reunion last
evening such a great success. My classmates thoroughly
enjoyed your restaurant, the food, and the atmosphere in your
special room at the back. The lady and young man who
served us were very attentive and the pace of the service was
excellent. The personalization of the menus and even the
bills was much appreciated. It will be a special memory
for all of us and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your cafe to
others.
Thanks
again. Judy legere
