Not too long ago, I did a review on a new Italian restaurant here in Lee's Summit. When I found Napoli's it was a young business that showed promise and potential. I even went as far as giving them the rehearsal dinner booking for my sister's wedding! As I drove down Sycamore St. the other day, I noticed that something had changed- The once young, blooming, Italian restaurant I'd visited just one month prior- was GONE....??? Questions circled in my head- "are they getting a new sign?" "are they closed for renovations?" But no, much to my disappointment- the space was completely empty- stripped of all signs that they had ever been there except for the decal on the window bearing their name. I was totally confused because I had spoken to Labi (former owner) several times about how business was going and he never hinted at their business closing!
I called their Sedalia, MO location and found out that it was the only location out of 3 that was still open.
This was sad news, but I must not mourn too long. The previous business at the location, had also been an Italian restaurant. Maybe Lee's Summit would rather go to Fazoli's. Who knows...
I pour my glass of vino on the ground in your memory Napoli's. It was nice while it lasted.
Ciao.
