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 an amazing experience. The waiter (Alexis) was so nice, she made it such a pleasant evening. She asked if we were dinning for a special occasion and we explained it was a farewell dinner as our sister in law was visiting from Spain and going back this week-end. To our surprise, when the chocolate fondue came, she brought my sister in law a gift of chocolate covered strawberries with a plate with a good luck message. It was such a special gesture, not expected. All the servers were amazing as well. This is now a annual tradition we have every year as winter break and family visits come to an end.
