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 loved our visit! Beautiful place. Food was perfect. Our waiter was very good but he was defiantly rushing our dinner. Was very persistent in taking our complete dinner order as soon as our cocktail’s arrived. That was our only complaint…. Whole pricey dinner was felt really rushed…and our reservation was for 5:45🫣

    Another perfect evening. For the appetizer, we went with the Arancini. Light and delicious. The salads were great. House made croutons and dressing were delicious. For entrees, we enjoyed the Veal Parmigiana and Chicken Marsala. Each couldn’t have been better. Full of flavor, perfect portion size. I want to highlight the Gnocchi with the cheese sauce I had on the side. This was heavenly…light but bursting with flavor. Wouldn’t change a thing. 10/10!

    Great date night dinner choice. We had never been to this restaurant and so I picked it based on reviews and the menu. The food and service were excellent. We had the beef medallions and the tortellini. Both were very well prepared and delicious. The arancini was amazing and not like any that I have previously eaten. Finally, the tiramisu shined! I definitely recommend and will be back.
