USS Nemo in Naples

I love this restaurant. Its in Naples, so you have a little bit of a drive to get there, maybe 45 minutes? When we lived in Chicago it wouldn’t be out of the question to drive an hour or more to a favorite restaurant, so this isn’t too bad. We had to go to a doctor appointment in North Naples then met up with my wife’s sister and her husband for lunch there. As usual, it was fantastic!

I always get the same thing! Bento Box #3. I read the menu and came close to getting something different, but I just can’t help myself. Bento Box #3, please! Its got tempura fish and shrimp with a dipping sauce, lightly seared tuna so most of it is raw with a nice dipping sauce and pickled ginger, a small salad and a ball of rice. I didn’t eat the rice this time because I’m doing a low carb diet. Everything tastes wonderful. The first time I had this bento box was the first time I had any bento box. When it was put down in front of me, I bent my head down (is that why they call them bento boxes?) and as mesmerized by the colors and aromas. I just looked at it for a while. Then I dug in! Just the right amount of food!

My wife got a poke bowl which she liked. We took the rest home which I later ate! The other two dishes were fish, but I can’t remember what they were, sorry about that. But they look very pretty in the pictures, don’t ya think?! My wife and her sister finished the meal with a piece of coconut cream pie. Delish! Click here to visit their website.
