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.

Discover Clayton

St. Louis, Missouri's inner-ring suburb of Clayton is known as not only the seat of St. Louis’s city government but also the spot for shopping, dining, and upscale hotels. A Taste of Clayton food festival is held here annually. Because “St. Louis’s second downtown” is a business hub, the dining atmosphere tends to be a hybrid of upscale and casual, with many restaurants that attract a business crowd. St. Louis barbecue is represented, along with burgers and Black Angus steaks. Visitors may be surprised to find many Italian influences along with a few bistros serving French-style food and more traditionally American pub food choices. The pedestrian-friendly neighborhood also offers sushi, vegetarian fare, and an espresso bar.
