Cafe Napoli Restaurant Review: This decades-old Clayton establishment has the second generation of the Pietoso family at the helm, and it’s been a seamless transition. Local brokers still book power lunches and private meetings there, but it’s also a popular lunch spot among those who like the southern Italian cuisine but not the evening price points. Make no decisions until the waiter arrives to discuss the specials, some visible on a tray. If it's available, head immediately for the cioppino, full of fresh flavor and a little "pop." Another good option is veal, with at least four preparations from which to choose, as well as always solid pastas or seafood dishes. The wine list leans toward the Italian, naturally, and it has length and depth. Amazingly, despite all the clout seated in the L-shaped room, the staff avoids the air of superiority that such rarefied clients sometime seem to cause. There's a bar with music---and a nice, long martini list---in a separate space next door, but the tunes sometimes drift outside to tables on the sidewalk. Also located at 1054 Town and Country Cr., 636-256-9998. |
