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.

    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.

    First of all, this is our second time to dine here. I rather forget the first time we ate at this place, because of circumstances. But this time around, it was excellent all around. We do not mind paying the price because it is Christmas after all. I did not get the name of our server but he was excellent. I asked my risotto rice not have that half cooked rice which is prevalent on some "healthy" restaurants, he said their risotto rice will be really cooked and delicious. And it was...My lobster tails were excellent too...everything are really good. Our server wasn't obstrusive at all. He just passed by once to check if everything is OK. I asked my husband if I can take care of giving him a good tip.

    This is a wonderful place for a nice family dinner experience as well as a pleasant date spot! They offer great options to select special add-ons for celebrations, too! The 4-course meals are well paced but ultimately a great amount of food; the entire family leaves with happy hearts and bellies every time, and Christmas Eve is no exception. We had an awesome server as well and he made sure we enjoyed our evening. All thumbs up for this restaurant tonight!
