    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.

    Went to Napoli for Valentine's dinner. Loved the overall atmosphere and wished we lived closer so we can become regulars at the bar. Our server was superior, food delicious and several managers/general manager stopped by our table. Recommend for sure!

    The Crossing continues to be an excellent choice for fine dining in St. Louis. The food and service are excellent. The night we were there it was somewhat noisier than past visits due to several large tables of men some of whom spoke and laughed loudly throughout the evening. When they left it was pleasant. I think the British are right when they say Americans do not know how to speak quietly at the dinner table.
