Caffe Napoli has been in Little Italy for over 50 years and it was the perfect choice for my lunch! There are about 900 choices of Italian places on the same section of streets in the area, so HOW do you even choose? Well, you just do! I did look at every single place and menu and the food and atmosphere here were fantastic. The staff was fun and laid back, but professional and on top of everything. The host was actually FROM Italy, which was awesome. The portions, presentation and quality of my Chicken Parm lunch was enough to feed me for two days (I did not eat the next day....). SO GOOD.

Had a phenomenal time. Came here was seated immediately, ordered filet mignon ravioli and Medium Rare filet cooked to perfection. Tortellini bolognese amazing as well. Bruschetta and tiramisu fantastic. Our server Daniel is the best!

Caffè Napoli is a true Little Italy gem. If you go, you must try the Spadini on chicken parm—perfectly layered, crispy, and packed with flavor. The potato croquettes are golden on the outside, soft and delicious inside, an ideal starter to share (or keep for yourself). To finish, the Sfogliatelle with an espresso is spot on—light, flaky, and the perfect balance of sweet with that strong, bold coffee. This place has the charm and authenticity that makes you want to linger, but also leaves you saying: “Gotta go back.”

Thank you so much to our server Iman. You gave us an incredible dining experience and helped us celebrate our friend!! Iman and the other staff were kind, accommodating, quick, and went above a beyond from the moment we entered until we left. Everything we ordered was delicious and perfectly portioned. Prices are a tad high, but it’s also New York. The restaurant is smaller and while it handled our 6 person party, I suggest calling ahead if you have a group. Great for date night, meeting with friends or family, maybe okay during the day for kids. But there isn’t a TON of seating so just keep that in mind. I would go here again if I’m ever back in the area!

Quaint place. Good host. A bit of delay for service. The food was good but I've had better in both Little Italy as well as Italian restaurants in other states. Met but did not exceed the bar for Little Italy.

We were sat right away, food came quickly, food was ok, I had cavatelli with eggplant and the eggplant was bitter and the dish was very oily. My kids had penne pasta with meatballs and spaghetti and meatballs. Quite a tourist place, as for authentic it didn't hit home with me, I felt the rich flavors were missing. But there were what seemed to be locals in and out.

$8 for a cup of coffee? An absolute joke. No price list provided for coffee, just the desserts. I figure they knew I was a tourist and had a crack. I’m furious.

They didn’t have a few things on the menu. We chose our desserts and the waiter then came a few minutes later to tell us that one of them wasn’t available so we changed our order. After that he completely forgot about that dessert and gave us only one. We waited for a very long time and had to finally remind him of that. It took like 40 min in total to get a simple dessert. We had already drunk our coffee by the time that dessert finally arrived. After all that trouble, they didn’t even comp that dessert on the bill. In addition to that, at one point, some waiter came to our table and gave us someone else’s credit card by mistake. Imagine if they gave it to someone who would actually steal it! A gross negligence on their part! When I told the waiter about the mistake and returned the card to him, he didn’t even thank me. Very poor customer service.

I knew better than to sit in the restaurant as it was staffed by waiters trying to grab customers from the street, but since it was the weekend, we found a seat here. The calamari wasn't good, the beer wasn't very cold, but the pizza was delicious. The service wasn't bad, but I think they forgot our pizza, it arrived very late. The restrooms were terrible, and for that reason, I have to deduct a lot of points. I won't recommend this place.

It was late, we were hungry and tired from walking - there are so, so many options in Little Italy, but Caffe Napoli caught our eye. It's a cute little spot with that "heritage" feel. The food was go…

This place was absolutely disappointing. Went there today 12/21/25. The guy out front mentioned that the restaurant has been around since 1972, so I thought it had potential. I wish I had looked at other reviews before committing. We ordered two drinks and the rice balls as an appetizer. They made the wrong spritz for me, but I let it go. The rice balls were disgusting the cheese wasn’t even melted inside. The bread they serve isn’t fresh; it’s pulled straight out of a plastic bag. I don’t know what the worst part was: the wrong drink, the food, the bathrooms, or the fact that they charge a 20% gratuity. One of the bathroom stalls didn’t even have a door, and there was water leaking onto the toilet. For two drinks and one appetizer, the total was $72. I will never go back. It’s honestly a slap in the face to authentic Italian restaurants in Little Italy.
