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.

The food and wine were terrific as always, and our server, Teresa, was charming yet truly professional. The only "knock" on our review is the proximity of our table to the bar area. The restaurant has a low ceiling without sound dampening and the noise level was, frankly, annoying. To be fair, we were able to disregard that (for the most part) and had a nice evening.

Chose to go to Napoli 2 with my business partner. She had never gone before. I have always had fantastic experiences so chose it for us to celebrate Christmas and a successful year at our company. Once again, Napoli2 more than delivered. Wonderful food, great service, lovely setting. Love everything about the restaurant.
