I notice that Napolean has the powdered sugar on it like the one that has been missed from the bakery in France. Wonder how the taste compares?

The Napoleon at the boardwalk bakery is a lot like the one they used to have in France and I was so happy to find it again. It is smaller but very good.

Hi CuppieCake04!

To answer your question, most of the reporters take pictures with their phones and then either email or text (iMessage if you have an iPhone) them to me along with their food descriptions and comments. However, there are a few who prefer to take pictures with their regular camera, download them to their laptop and then email them to me. Any of these methods are fine with me.

We loved the service we got here last year! Our waiter took such good care of us and the kids. Food was fast and plentiful. My favorite of the trip, even over Narcoossee's which we used to love. This trip we're skipping it, but we're definitely hitting up Via Napoli (for our anniversary dinner)!

Our top 5 winners were all part of the May team of reporters and they alone scored a combine total of 1121 points...that's an average of nearly 225 points each!


So without further ado, let's get started with our...
