This is the best meal I’ve had in my entire life. I’ve traveled across all of Asia, and Europe and nothing beats the foot here. I got the pistachio cannoli and it was life changing. We decided to come back for dinner another day to try their food becuase the dessert was so good. We were time constrained and they helped us get our order in and food came out so fast! The pesto gnocchi was the best thing ever. It was so extremely soft and fresh and so flavorful. We also got a pizza with truffle and prosciutto…. So amazing!! The truffle added a lot of flavor and was clearly there, the cheese was perfect; the crust was perfect. You must try this place!

Jordy got us in the door with his warm and friendly approach then Iman and the rest of the staff welcomed us with open arms. Eating here felt like dining with family and inside you don’t feel like you’re in NYC. The food was excellent from the margherita pizza to the lasagna and the sangria was refreshing and on happy hour. We even stayed for the coffee. Please stop by for a bite and a drink.

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.

My friends & I love coming to cafe Napoli, every time we are here the food is phenomenal but the one thing I want to specifically point out is that the service is just amazing!! They make you feel like family, the vibes are immaculate. Also, Kevin is the absolute best!!

Phenomenal experience at Caffe Napoli. The shrimp parmigiana was the clear standout — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The espresso was excellent, and the staff hit the right balance of friendly and attentive. Relaxed atmosphere, great food, solid drinks. We’d absolutely come back.

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.

Visiting NYC for the first with my wife and we walked little Italy without a restaurant pre chosen and just felt it out. The host outside was polite not pushy when looking as we walked by and after walking the street made our way back and when returning was polite and stated he truly believed in the family that owns the place and the food is authentic and said he’s worked there multiple years and if we didn’t enjoy everything we ate he would quit his job. Safe to say he will be at work for the foreseeable future!!! Bread was some of the best I have ever eaten. Penne Alla Vodka was fantastic. The service from start to finish was fantastic. Will definitely be back in the future!!!

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!
