Naples







1550 S Disneyland Dr
Anaheim, CA 92802-2322
(714) 776-6200



We were in Downtown Disneyland for the first full day to grab something to eat while waiting for our parade to start in California Adventures. We decided upon Naples due to the fact that the could seat us right away. The restaurant is more of an modern Italian restaurant with modern furnishings.

We decided to seat outside for two reasons. First there were seats available and we could be seated right away. Second, it was not hot but actually quite pleasant to sit outside for our dinner. Although we were seated right away, we were in between shift changes, and our initial server had to leave. We had to wait a bit before our second server came and took our order.


We finally decided on calamari, Caesar salad, Ahi Tuna salad and a thin crust pizza. The pizza was topped with sausage, onions and roasted red peppers. We had a small group of people so we needed the extra servings. Unfortunately our server mistook our Ahi Tuna salad to replace our pasta order instead of an addition, otherwise we would have had more variety.

The calamari was prepared properly. It had a thin seasoned crust. The dipping sauces was good, though not spectacular. The marinara sauce had a good tomato base, while the garlic mayonnaise provided a good counter balance.



The Caesar Salad was pretty fresh. The dressing tasted homemade and the lettuce had a good crisp. The croutons were decent with a good crunch. I was glad that the portion size was big that it feed my whole party.



The thin crust pizza was also decent. It had a nice cheesy flavor with the sausage providing the bulk of the meat flavor. The crust though could have been more crisp, it should not flop as much as it did. Fortunately it too was a decent size.



Lastly, the Ahi tuna salad came last. It was prepared nicely with a nice herb crust and a raw center. The herb crust was surprisingly flagrant, almost flowery. The only draw back that it was quite pricey and yet the portion was really quite small. The tomato and cucumber salad that accompanied it was pretty good. It provided a nice freshness to the dish.



Service was okay, given that fact that the place was pack and we had to switch servers. We did have a bit of a wait time for refills of our water. We were left to ourselves a lot and it took awhile to get our check back.

Final Thoughts: The food was okay, but unfortunately nothing memorable.

Food: 3 stars
Service: 3 stars
Price: High
Overall: 3 stars
