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.

    What a fabulous way to celebrate our 10th anniversary. The food and beverages were top notch - drool worthy! Filets cooked to melt in your mouth perfection. Our server, Corbin, was beyond amazing. His attention to detail and knowing when to interact with us or to leave us be was spot on. His knowledge of rye and bourbon was a bonus for us and led to some very tasty drinks.

    My wife chose the Meal of the Day (Salad, Braised Beef, Floating Island), and I had an a la carte combination (Escargot, Roast Chicken, Sorbet). I was treated specially on my birthday. We love Brasserie by Niche. Our dining experience last night exceeded my expectations.
