DiNapoli’s Italian Deli, a very popular Italian restaurant from just across the river in Lambertville, is making its way to New Hope in January.

     They plan to move to 18-20 N. Main Street, which has “ Indoor and outdoor seating to accommodate our amazing customers.” They plan to stay open for the rest of December and will begin the move across the Delaware River in January of 2019.

     DiNapoli’s also comes with great food as well as ratings, even having won the Best Meatball in New Jersey as well as the Golden Meatball. Several other awards like Best Sandwich and Best Catering also are displayed proudly at the top of their webpage.

     The restaurant’s style and aesthetic come from the late nineteen forties and early fifties when famous singers like Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin sang on the radio. On their walls, they have old black and white photos of Frank Sinatra and large orchestras.

     The menu is also very promising with their great looking sandwiches, and salads. Going back to their aesthetic, they even have a sandwich called Mack the Knife, which is a song by the singer Bobby Darin.

     DiNapoli’s should be very well received with what looks to be an excellent menu and hospitable staff. They should have no problem at all settling down here in New Hope and should have plenty of new and old customers.
