For a nice Italian dinner out to celebrate a family member’s birthday or special occasion, Cafe Napoli 2 is the place to go to get fresh and readily made food for a moderate price.

Napoli, located at 1054 Town and Country Crossing Dr. in Town and Country, is about a 15-20 minute drive down Clayton Road from Lafayette.

Walking into the restaurant, the atmosphere is classy but relaxed.  The doors were opened for my family and me by the waiters and they ushered us to our seats.

After looking at the menu for a good ten minutes and eating the complimentary bread and oil, I finally decided on what I was getting.  I ordered the stack salad for my appetizer and a white pasta with shrimp as my main course.

The stack salad was incredible.  The tomato, mozzarella cheese, and peppers came on a small white plate and was covered in a light drizzle of balsamic vinegar and oil.  The pasta was great too, but too big of a portion for me, and I had to take the rest home.

Napoli also offers a wide variety of soups, salads, red meats, chicken and red pastas. The appetizers are around $7 and the main courses are all around $20.

Overall, the price wasn’t too bad for the excellent service and quality of the meal.  For my family of five, the bill was around $170.  It’s definitely worth the trip for a fancy night out.
