What you'll find
The restaurant offers radiant Southern Italian dishes that showcase simple preparation and presentation of fresh, seasonal ingredients. The salads and antipasti are among the best examples of this culinary philosophy.
Food
Pasta is cooked al dente then tossed with sauce in the authentic Italian style. Portion sizes are titanic, so you might want to ask for half of your order to be wrapped in the kitchen, even before it's delivered to your table. The menu offers chicken, veal and beef entrees and, while these dishes are unquestionably well prepared, pasta and seafood are what the kitchen does best.
Service
Mixed. The seasoned servers are a bit aloof, but they get the job done post haste. The neophytes are eager to please, but they are still plodding along the learning curve. Fortunately, the vets help the rookies get up to speed, and the result is a winning team.
Ambiance
Cafe Napoli has a lovely dining room, but the trendy crowd can be rather boisterous after work and on weekends. This rollicking throng might be just what you're looking for. But if it's not, ask for a seat on the patio if the weather is warm.

I ordered food and drinks after a couple of hours I requested the bill. They added drinks to my order that I didnt drink I kept track of my purchased and they overcharged me. During the economy this is the last thing I need! My food was also not warm. I will never return to this establishment it has gone downhill!

I took my wife to Cafe Napoli for Valentine's day. The fish tasted horrible, like rubber and my wife's steak was undercook and not prepared right. the place looks cool but the meal was horrible. if you want something authentic you are better off going to the "Hill". I will not come back to this place!

Top-of-the-line service and menu selections and could not be happier with the 8 person private dinner (private wine room) for a corporate business (customer) dinner. Everyone was very pleased, including meat-eaters and vegetarians. A+ service, wine selection to die for, entrees all very well received (Talapia, Salmon, and Beef Tenderloin were huge hits) and owner checked on us several times. Next time I am in STL and need to take customers out I will not hesitate to take them here. Great atmosphere, very classy, and also trendy.

Tip 2:
Skip fettuccini Alfredo.
One of St. Louis'Best:
Italian dining shouldn't always be a genteel affair. Cafe Napoli gets high marks for a top-flight menu and smart surroundings that inspire revelry.
Tip 1:
Order as much antipasti as you can eat.
