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.

      This really is a lovely, wonderful restaurant. The ambiance is perfect. It was such a lovely dining experience. The food was delicious. The Marsala was a little too bell pepper-y for my personal preference, but overall, everyone enjoyed their meals very much. Service was top notch.

      The staff, service and dinner are the absolute best. From the moment you walk in the door and through out your service, meal and departure - it is a warm and pleasant dining experience. Many thanks to Rob our waiter for taking such good care of us. Compliments to the Chef and entire staff. It was once again a wonderful evening.

      We love all of the Napolis! The Chilean sea bass was amazing and we always love the veal Napoli!! We also always order their delicious stack salads. Always a favorite when our family is in town!

      Stack salad sounded good and tasted even better. Soup of the day, cream of spinach with chicken, was excellent. Wife and I both had the veal saltimboca, which was delicious. Nice touch offering the pasta side aglio/olio as an option to standard marinara, although it could have used more garlic. Sizable wine list with numerous good choices. Service was first rated.
