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.

Lorenzo Trattoria is a lovely low key place that’s comfortable and reliable. Most importantly, the food is good, if not stellar, AND you can have a conversation at your table without shouting over your plates! The house salad is one of my faves on the menu. Last time, we went, I had the orecchiette with eggplant which was delicious (half of the portions would be enough for most people). My husband chose the special (clams spaghetti) and it was a bit dry. Also a huge portion. The waiter Antonio was funny and helpful. A nice and delicious chilled Tuscan Vermentino accompanied our dinner. All in all, a lovely summer evening with no frills but very enjoyable.
