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.

    Our anniversary is on Valentine’s Day, celebrating 55 years today. Going out to eat on Valentine’s Day can be tricky because lots of other couples have the same idea. So we opted for a 1pm lunch and it worked out great! Warm and Cozy, great ambiance, good noise level, excellent service and the usual great food! Bristol’s is our go to restaurant.

    The service (Bree) was outstanding. Same with young man providing bread, water etc. Food was delicious. I ordered salmon with angel hair lemon & capers. There were 4 of us for dinner & all enjoyed. Also - everytime we eat here - everyone that works there comments as you come in or leave. Saying thank you for joining us this evening - hope to see you again soon. They all made us feel like they truly appreciate our business.

    My husband and I have been to multiple nice steakhouses in the area, and this one has been our favorite thus far. The service was friendly and quick, and the steak was cooked to perfection. Perfect for a date night or special occasion, but the menu had a decent amount of less expensive options as well. Will definitely be returning in the future.
