I fell upon this place on accident and I am so glad I did. My husband and I ordered the Tiger Roll for an appetizer and is so wonderful!! We then split 2 meals, Brisket Dip and Pork chop. We could only eat half of our halves, but man was it phenomenal!!! Our waitress was super attentive and nice. The atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming. We will definitely be back!

Celebrating our wedding anniversary at Hamilton's has become a tradition, and Hamilton's did not disappoint. The food was excellent, the steak was cooked to perfection, and the service was both attentive and unrushed. Whether a special occasion or just a great dining option before the theater, I highly recommend Hamilton's Steak House or any of their other entities as well.

About the restaurant

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.

Lovely dinner at Del Pietro’s. Delicious Caesar salad, seafood pasta and tiramisu at very reasonable prices. My server Jack was just outstanding. So sad that they will be closing at the end of the year.
