  BAIT AND SWITCH - We were smiling when we walked in.....but not when we walked out. It looked like the perfect setting for lunch in Napoli. The server only spoke Italian but we knew enough....so we thought...to get by. She kept saying "8 Euro, 8 Euro for lunch." So we said sure...that sounds great. She didn't give us a menu...just asked us what we wanted...the fish pasta or tomato. Did we want this appetizer or that appetizer. The chalkboard menu I saw here on Yelp was there posted in the restaurant. We had two kids with us and they only got a single pasta dish each. During the meal she asked if we wanted to refill our half liter of wine...there was still about 1/4 left but we said sure thinking she would bring us more when we were done...but she took the bottle and brought us another one. When we were all done....what we thought was going to be around a 45 Euro bill was an 85 Euro bill. I chewed her out...whether she understood me or not I don't know...but she tried to explain that since we got the fish pasta (plain noodles with clams...that tasted liked nothing)....that our meal wasn't 8 Euro. The fish cost more. I guess I learned my lesson...always ask for a menu...or possibly the menu turistico...but I heard her say several times. "8 Euro," so I thought ....8 Euro. The food was nothing special. The setting was nice....but I felt taken advantage of and will never go back...and hope this review will help steer people elsewhere.
