Stino
Da
Napoli
has
been
a
favorite
restaurant
for
my
family
since
it
opened
with
just
a
few
tables
almost
30
years
ago.
I'm
sure
that
I
have
given
it
5
*
s
in
the
past,
but
I
was
very
disappointed
last
evening.
Our
waitress
was
excellent
and
the
main
course
was
wonderful
as
always.but
there
were
some
slip
ups.
We
had
to
send
our
appetizer,
fried
calamari,
back
to
the
kitchen
to
be
crisped.
When
we
got
it
initially
it
was
a
little
tough,
soggy
and
cold.
It
is
not
a
very
large
portion
to
begin
with
and,
when
it
was
returned
to
the
table,
it
was
on
a
very
tiny
plate,
making
it
look
quite
skimpy.
More
is
expected
for
a
$15+
appetizer.
We
also
had
to
ask
for
a
replacement
on
rolls
which
were
very
stale.
Those
that
we
got
back
were
warm,
fresh
and
very
good,
though
not
outstanding
(pretty
ordinary
ciabatta
served
with
foil
wrapped
very
cold
pats
of
butter,
which
I
have
never
thought
complemented
the
meal).
The
rest
of
the
meal
was
up
to
5*
standard
(maybe
4*
on
the
salad
itself
with
a
5***
dressing).
However,
when
I
received
the
check,
I
noticed
that
a
20%
gratuity
had
been
added
without
notifying
me
of
this
when
I
made
the
reservation.
We
did
have
a
party
of
seven,
but
two
were
very
young
children.
I
really
don't
understand
the
reason
for
including
the
gratuity.
It's
never
happened
before.
Stino,
we
love
the
restaurant
and
of
course
will
back.
Just
want
you
to
know
that
we
noticed,
and
know
you
can
do
better.
We
all
buy
your
sauce
and
salad
dressing
at
the
grocery
store
but
it
doesn't
substitute
for
a
wonderful
meal
at
the
restaurant,
appetizer
to
check.
