About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Lively
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.

      Sadly, this is possibly the first time in 30 years of visiting Cafe Napoli in Clayton where I have been dissatisfied and disappointed. The food was not hot enough for at least two entrees. The food was tasty, just that is was served lukewarm. We were seated in the bar area. It was 7:15pm and very, very loud to the point that we could not understand the server's descriptions of off-menu items and specials.
