Went on a Thursday eve. First time! Food was absolutely delicious. We ordered garlic knots and meatballs 😍 and pep, sausage, onion, banana peppers, & green onions pizza. Everything was super fresh and the chef also made us some homemade buffalo dip👌🏾Waitor was a 10! Very polite and attentive.
Quaint little Italian joint with a distinguished bar. Menu is not huge but has what you'd want/expect and that's a good thing. Has nice advertised happy hour deals on pizza and drinks. I was a few minutes late for that so I ordered the chicken parmigiana and oh my lordie was it heavenly. Very good portion for price but the better-than-home taste was more than worth; really liked the knot roll too!
Best part of the experience besides atmosphere however was the service. The bartender especially was kind and made me feel welcome as a new face in a downtown bar! I very much appreciated that tonight. Definitely returning.
Nice sit down and friendly bar atmosphere in the heart of downtown. They have nice low lit lights that hang from the ceiling adding to the ambiance. The staff is really friendly and drinking at the bar in a mason jar gave it a nice touch.
Finally stopped through for a meatball sub last night, and went back for slices today. I’m an east coast transplant and it’s so refreshing to have finally found a spot like this right down the street.
The owners and employees CARE. Owner is such a sweet guy.
Please give them your business.
The supreme pizza was delicious and there's a couple local beers on tap. Friendly service and the food was ready pretty quickly. 10/10 would recommend
Still the best. Ray's on Times Square NYC can't even touch Cafe Napolitana. Dont get me wrong. Doing a Ray's Pizza near Times Square is close to heaven. I would say the two pizzas run neck and neck.
*** BUT *** Columbus has Cafe Napoletana on High Street, just a few doors up from Broad, right here in Columbus Ohio. Cafe Napoletana. They hand toss and bake New York style crust. All of the toppings are fresh. They even buy fresh mushrooms and marinate them instead of getting them out of a can, unlike most of the competition. Even the bell peppers get the marinade. everything here is terrific. Palmo remembered me after nearly a year. And that was when he was just starting out twenty years ago. It was a walk up counter and he didn't even have a bar and liquor license yet. It's still a walk up, order and pay, but they bring pizza to the table. They also have a full menu of traditional Italian favorites. Someday I will give them a try but I just can't seem to get around that pizza !
The garlic twists were amazing, just perfect. The spaghetti and meatballs while very aesthetically pleasing was nothing special if you ask me, the meatballs as well I think were nothing to write home about. However my fiance loved it so maybe you will too. Service was fine.
Great pizza!! Their mushrooms are fresh and marinated, they are delicious! Come here for good pizza
Delicious Italian food with nice staff. I had the Rosa gnocchi and really enjoyed it. There is also a bar in back.
This place is fantastic! The BEST calzone I have had in ages. My daughter had the sausage lasagna which she loved as well. The prices are good and when I am back in Columbus I will make it a point to stop here again. The proprietor was a very cool fellow as well.
Very good thin crust pizza, lots of variety. Long while in line, but they did have a sign on the door looking for new employees. The people who were working were very friendly and hard-working. Overall I wouldn't mind going back and trying some of the other varieties of pizza they had available.
Indulged too fast for pics but the garlic knots and meatballs were amazing, the pizza was perfect, the sausage on the pizza was crumbly not huge chunks, everything was made from scratch including my side cup of Buffalo sauce which had a little creamy texture that you could tell was homemade sauce. Ordered two bottles of wine as well and a cannoli. All that authentic Italian food and the drinks below $70 and could have easily fed 4 but the two of us had leftovers and left stuffed. Highly recommended. Will go again.
Hubby and I wanted to help out a smaller business while also eating some good pizza. To say this place was good is an understatement. The garlic knots were by far the best we've had, and the pizza reminded of us true NY style. We will definitely be returning!
My youngest son and I stopped in to break bread and celebrate his 21st birthday here. It was great... the food was great... and the people who worked there and the patrons were all great. They made us feel very welcomed and impressed my son who is an artist living in Florida now.
Yummy food and the servers were great and let us watch a Christmas movie!
We were seeking out the classic pizza for a special occasion and Cafe Nepolitana was perfect! The service was excellent and the food outstanding! The cheese calzone is worth the trip on its own. The pizza! A near perfect pie with a crust that has a delightful crunch with a soft inside. We will be making this 45min drive more often!
