Best Restaurants for Groups in Maryland Heights

I’ve been to many of the Napoli restaurants and this one may top the list for me. The service was outstanding, and the food was out of this world. We got the charred octopus as an appetizer and it was cooked perfectly! They need to turn it into an entree. For my entree I got the Chilean seabass topped with crab (suggested by the waiter) and it was also cooked to perfection. I would go out of my way to dine here again. The only problem with this area is the parking. It’s always a battle to find a parking spot. Otherwise 10/10 would go back again.

It was Valentines Day and it was extremely busy. Our server boxed our dinner so that we could be on time for our movie. It's a Win, Win situation.
