Café Napoli is a family owned restaurant, established in 1989 by Tony and Kathy Pietoso. Quickly becoming a success, they moved the small basement restaurant to a larger location at the corner of Forsyth and Bemiston in the heart of Clayton. In 2003, sons Ande and Kye expanded their family restaurant by adding Bar Napoli, a swank cocktail lounge. A few years later, Napoli Reserve was added onto Bar Napoli allowing for private event space and an additional bar and lounge for the weekends. After years of a flourishing business, Kathy and Tony decided to take their ventures West to Town and Country where they opened their second location, Napoli2, managed by Ande. Kye has taken the reigns from his father and is now the front man for the 8,000 square foot establishment in Clayton. Café Napoli and Bar Napoli have recently undergone a face lift inside and out. Inside the kitchen, Executive Chef from Napoli2 Jon Berger was recently added to the team, bringing fresh ideas and innovation to the regional Italian specialties.

    We had a group of 6 and the experience was wonderful. Our servers, Wendy and Emma, were excellent! They were attentive and joked around with us throughout the night. We had a nice private room in the back, so our group was able to enjoy the evening with some privacy. The food was delicious and the drinks were great! Overall, one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in many years!

    I normally do not take the time to leave reviews but Jason and the Capital Grille staff deserve to be applauded. This was my second experience dining here and one of our steaks happened to be overcooked. I hate being that person to send food back but ultimately decided it wasn't going to be enjoyable as is. Jason and the team immediately fixed the issue without any hesitation and went above and beyond to make it right. They brought out extra sides while the new steak was being prepared and even provided a gift card for the price of the steak as we were paying our check, non of which was asked for. My first experience here the steak was cooked perfectly and this time my girlfriend's was cooked perfectly so it seems like it was just a one off mishap. Besides correcting the steak issue Jason was just awesome at what he does and seems to enjoy the work that he does. He gave us some great drink recommendations and made my girlfriend's birthday dinner a great experience. We will be back for sure!
