About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    Cafe Napoli delivers a very high level of service and outstanding food. Our party all had Italian dishes and wine and every dish was excellent (appetizer, salad, entree, wine, dessert and coffee). Two members of our party of 3 requested changes to their entree to leave out one ingredient they did not want (smoked salmon, for example, on the penne with vodka sauce). Not only did the restaurant graciously do this, the waiter made suggestions for suitable substitutions, and the resulting dishes tasted delicious. Cafe Napoli is highly recommended for any special occasion or to just eat some fine steak, seafood, or Italian food.

    We had a late dinner. We sat in a quiet place inside the restaurant, and it was wonderful. I ordered a rigatoni carbonara - it is hard to find good carbonara in St. Louis, but they did a great job.
