Have you tried the candele at Via Napoli?

Has anyone tried the candele at Via Napoli? The description sounds wonderful. Any photos? Thanks!

It's funny you should be asking about the candele, I just mentioned it in this post (although I couldn't remember the name of the dish):

The candele tasted fine and the portion size was reasonable. As I said in the other post, the presentation was disappointing. I don't have a photo, but it came as a square of pasta on the plate, so it's a solid kind of dish, not saucy or gooey, though it does contain sauce and cheese. It looked like something you would get for $8-$9 at a counter service place, and comes completely plain with no side dishes or garnishes.

Thanks for the feedback; maybe I'll stick with a pizza!

I tried it last month and loved it! I think a good description would be that of lasagna with round tube like noodles instead of thin flat noodles.

Jacqui,

Now you have me rethinking it. According to the description it had polpettine, which I had never heard of, but upon looking it up found that it was kind of like a meatball, but with cheese instead of meat (had breadcrumb, egg, etc.). Sounded like a brilliant idea to me if done well!

I have had the pizza there and it had to be the best pizza I have ever had

I have a picture of the candele and of their pizza but I don't know how to post it or if I can. How many post do I need to include a picture?

Just had the candele last week. Loved it. It came with a couple of polpetine, which were meatballs. All the food we had was great, if was my DD and DH favorite of all week. DH had the chicken parm and loved it, DH had the pepperoni pizza and loved it. We all shared. Can't wait to go back in March.
