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 wonderful experience dining in the winter chalet! The food and service was excellent, as it always is at Edera, and dining in the chalet made it extra special.

    Paul was our server and he was great! The food was amazing, sea bass for me and steak and lobster for my wife. We both agreed the lobster was the best either of us ever had, incredibly delicious.

    Party of 3 adults on Christmas Eve: appetizers Tempura Shrimp and Shisito Peppers - 5 stars. New England Clam Chowder 4 stars. Caesar Salad- 5 stars but needed more lemon. Entrees: lobster fried rice-4 star. Lobster Risoto-5 star. Salmon Special-2 Stars-great flavor but over cooked even though I asked for it to be rare. Service- 3 stars- waiter was loud and only filled our champagne glasses once from the bottle. Ambience/Noise Level-4 stars. Value: wine list was over priced, more than 2 times if you bought it at a store, but probably customary for some (but not all) high end restaurants. I should have ordered the Cioppino.
