About The Napoli Group
The Napoli Group operates as a family-owned restaurant company based in St. Louis, Missouri, managing six distinct hospitality concepts across the St. Louis metropolitan area. The organization traces its roots to 1989, when Tony and Kathy Pietoso founded Café Napoli, initially operating from a basement before expanding to a prominent location in Clayton. The business evolved in 2003 with the addition of Bar Napoli, a cocktail lounge, followed shortly by the introduction of Napoli Reserve to provide private event spaces and extended lounge hours.
Subsequent growth saw the opening of Napoli II in Town and Country in 2008. The portfolio continued to expand with the launch of Napoli III in St. Charles in 2020 and Napoli Sea in the same city in 2023. These locations represent the company's four fine-dining Café Napoli establishments. Most recently, the Pietoso family introduced a casual dining concept, Napoli Bros. Pizza and Pasta, which is scheduled to open in the spring of 2024 at The Hub at The District of St. Louis in Chesterfield, marking a strategic shift toward a more relaxed dining format.
