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 love Café Napoli. It’s always a great experience. The service, the food, the lively atmosphere - never disappoints. It’s easy to see why this restaurant has remained a favorite in the area for so many years. Best shrimp scampi we have ever had - it manages to feel light (not something you see often in a dish like that) but so rich in flavor at the same time. The salads, meatball, the pastas, the steaks - everything has always been delicious.

    Really good experience. Went at 5 pm on Valentine’s Day and it was not crowded at all. So, it was quiet and we got lots of service attention. Drinks were good and food was outstanding. Menu was reduced for the holiday, as you would expect. But, still had several choices in varying price ranges. It was much more crowded by the time we left.

    Dinner was on a Monday night so restaurant was not super busy. We had window view table which was nice for business dialogue. Gustavo our sister was attentive but not overbearing. Steaks were cooked to perfection and as ordered.
