Villa Napoletana is an East Longmeadow eatery that habitually earns a place on the region's "best of" restaurant lists. Housed in a diminutive shopping plaza just across the Springfield city line, Villa Napoletana's handsome dining space is characterized by a high concept, subtly theatrical decor. Tables and chairs are the sole seating option.

The establishment's bill of fare offers appealing possibilities. Incorporated in the pasta choices available are Penne ala Vodka and Spaghetti Carbonara (both $16.95) as well as Lobster Ravioli ($20.95) and Lasagna Bianca ($17.95), a layered noodle and vegetable creation finished with a light cheese sauce.
