fter the World Cup, a bite of Italian could mean a lot of things, but in HSR Layout,there aren’t really too manyoptions. That probably ex-plains the crowd on a Saturday night atNapoli Bistro. Owned by four cousinsfrom Andhra, the restaurant beganoperations a couple of months ago. Aflight of stairs takes you to a well-litfloor with views to the busy 27th Mainroad. The faux brick wall, the framedart and the functional, elegant furni-ture all add a semblance of character tothe place. We got there just in time be-fore the place filled up. The menu is allItalian and seemingly extensive, butmisses out on a couple of things –drinks and desserts. Apparently, thereare plans to add wine soon, and sweet-en the afters deal a bit.
 Appetisers:
There is no dearth of op-tions – soup, appetisers and a host of salads – though there is a clear skew to-wards vegetarian. On a chilly Banga-lore night, a soup is a great way to be-gin a meal, and that’s exactly what wedid. The description doesn’t offer a lotof explanation and simply states ‘NonVeg’. The risk turned out to be worthit and we got a delicious,creamy yellow soup(pumpkin was the guess)with chicken sausageslices. The Napoli Pestowas a tasty dish too –toasted bread with atasteful signature pesto.The Chicken Quesadilla –standard tortillas stuffedwith diced chicken – wasn’t re-ally the best we have had. A bit toogreasy.
Entrée:
Napoli is the birthplace of modern pizza and that’s probablywhat gives this section two whole pag-es in the restaurant’s menu. The Spa-ghetti Pizza wasn’t something we’dfind on a standard menu, so we beganthere. A thin crust pizza with loads of cheese and topped with spaghetti, itwas all subtle flavours and quite tasty.The Napoli Meaty Feast seemed like agood way to balance the vegetariandomination thus far. The pizza didhave the potential – chicken sausage,pepperoni, and chicken cubes – butdespite the star presence, thepizza was ordinary. We weresurprised by the appear-ance of the Mushroom &Meatballs crepes; itlooked more like a can-nelloni actually. It camewith what was advertisedas a pink sauce, but wascloser to yellow. There wasno taking away from its awe-someness though, and this was thebest dish we had. The Chicken Crèmewas our first choice of pasta. The shellpasta was well cooked and the creamysauce with chicken chunks and a fainttrace of egg yolk was reasonably tasty,if not great. The Limone Mintovasounded quite interesting and weasked for it – with fettuccine. The sauceclearly had a mint flavour and the verymild lemon touch gave it a nice tangypop. The pasta we got was definitelynot fettuccine though! There is a kidspasta section as well, and that offeredsome explanation to the unusuallylarge number of kids around!
 Afters:
There are exactly four options,and we chose the clichéd (by name)Death By Chocolate and the ChocoBomb. There’s no way to sugar coatthis, neither of them were really great.The former was a let down on twocounts – the excessive sweetness andthe lazy Hershey job that accompa-nied it. The latter was not better either,and was in essence the standard stuff one finds in a dozen other stores.
In all:
While there are a few restaurantsthat also serve Italian in this part of town, there are probably none thatspecialise in the cuisine. That does of-fer a good potential for Napoli Bistro,but they need to polish up their act abit in terms of the menu and the quali-ty of the food because these are defi-nitely things that could come back tobite them later.

We enjoy oralsex but she won’t allow me totouch her vagina or insert myfinger as she claims to be experi-encing a lot of pain when I do.This pain has also ensured wenever have sex since she’sscared of the possible pain thatshe will experience. Whatshould we do?
Continue what you are doing.She could see a sexpert for advice or agynaecologist. It’s possible that she’sawaiting your marriage proposal be-fore she sacrifices her virginity.
