Food was phenomenal, probably best pizza I've had in the states (Sicilian style). Simple, authentic ingredients that you can taste. The owner was incredibly kind and I enjoyed speaking to him. We came here on a while and are glad we did. Stop in for a chill, nice lunch or dinner. read more

Cafe Napolina - 12 " Small Margherita Sicilian Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Concord, California

Ordered from them twice--second time there was a mishap with the Grubhub order but after a phone call their sweet staff resolved it so fast. You can't teach that type of genuine customer service!! & Quality food! Highly recommend. read more

I really wanted to like this place! Nestled in the perimeter of Todos Santos Plaza, Cafe Napolina looked like a cute Italian American spot. -Calamari was a small portion, cornmeal crusted and tough. Definitely overcooked. - Caesar salad was average - Alfredo with chicken and added shrimp - it was creamy - spaghetti with meatballs were tasty - Tartufa Sicilian style pizza had so much potential - it looked so much better than it tasted. There was an off taste like old oil from the crust and the flavors didn't work for us. Should have stuck with the thin crust and red sauce. It was the first time we didn't take leftovers home. Service was attentive and friendly. Ambiance was homey and was full of ppl watching the World Cup. Indoor and outdoor dining. Wish we had a better food experience. read more

We happened to stumble upon this wonderful restaurant for a celebratory dinner and it did not disappoint! Super charming vibe, excellent customer service, and outstanding dishes! Whether you're on a date, getting dinner with family, or out for a drink with friends, I can't recommend this enough! As vegetarians, it's often difficult to find delicious options for the entire family, but this is now a family fave! This is a family owned restaurant and they care for the smallest of details. They are so kind and friendly, and it makes a world of difference. I still crave their bruschetta, fettuccine Alfredo, and watermelon feta salad! They have live music on Fridays. Be sure to check it out! read more

We decided to finally check this restaurant out for dinner. We went early, so it wasn't busy yet. We shared an order of bruschetta and a pastrami sandwich. The food was ok. The bruschetta could have been better with basil rather than parsley. My husband thought the pastrami sandwich was ok. The fries were very good. All in all, it was just ok. Maybe we are still missing our favorite place nearby that closed due to landlord issues. In comparison, this place doesn't measure up. We may give this place another try someday. Maybe it just wasn't our night. I know it's a popular spot. read more

Came here on a Sunday night, walking by. The server was very energetic and extremely attentive. The ambiance of the place was great too! Lots to look at while waiting for the food to arrive. The tables were also clean, not sticky. The Italian guava soda and Caesar salad were SO good! Had anchovy in it too but was very fresh and the amount of salad was generous as well. The pastrami sandwich was very moist and the pastrami was so good! I've had pastrami elsewhere that were hard to eat because they were chewy or stringy but these were fantastic. Tiramisu was also very good! The calamari was slightly disappointing because the batter and actual calamari didn't go well together and texture of the fried batter was more coarse than my liking. Will definitely be coming back though!! read more

We were in Walnut Creek and had a place in mind to dine at, but unfortunately they were hosting a holiday party, so we left. We noticed Napolina across the street and decided to give it a try. We ordered the ravioli, truffle fries, calamari, and mango avocado salad. The prices were surprisingly low, which made sense once the food arrived, as the portions were very small. The calamari lacked flavor, and the batter tasted more like what's used for chicken cutlets. The highlights of the meal were the ravioli and the truffle fries. Overall, the food was underwhelming, but the service was excellent. There was only one server for the entire restaurant, and she did an amazing job. Food: 2/5 Service: 5/5 read more

Oh my gosh I wish I took pictures. We got the food to go for a birthday party and of course we were too busy taking photos of each other that by the time we finally sat to eat, the food was cold. HOWEVER, it still tasted SO good that I had to write a review regardless. I even heated it up the next day and still mmm chefs kiss. Food: - penne alla vodka: 5/5 can't go wrong with vodka sauce - ravioli: 4/5 for my vegetarian friend but pretty good! I don't typically like white sauce but sharing made it easier - tri colore: 10/5 bro the sicilian style it was basically cheese bread with sauce on top, so freaking good. I took my first bite and I immediately said gotta write a review - saporito: 10/5 Brooklyn style and large huge slices solid pizza and held up well the next day read more

My husband and I came by to try a few things from this cozy pizza spot and I must say, we left with full bellies and warm hearts. The owner and staff were really attentive, checking on us often. I saw the owner look over at the tables every chance he got to make sure everyone was happy. We got 3 pizzas, 12 pc wings, side of Meatballs, Shrimp fettuccine and tiramisu. We were offered a pistachio cake on the house! So sweet of them. We got thin Brooklyn style pizzas so that we don't get too full and can try more things on the menu. All the pizzas were delicious. My favorite were the classic Margherita and truffle pizza along with the meatballs that were made in house. The pizza came out hot, crispy and full of flavor. The pasta was really good also! It was garlicky and noodles perfect Al dente! We chatted a little with the owner who told us that most things were made fresh in house (sauce, meatballs, crust etc) that was no surprise to us because you can taste the freshness in every bite. We had such a lovely time and will be returning again in the near future!! read more

I came here because my in laws enjoy this place. I ordered the Margherita Sicilian pizza because I love a thick crust. The crust was bad. Tasted stale and was hard on the edges. I had just had amazing pizza in this style in sand Diego so was disappointed this wasn't up to par. The flavors of the toppings, sauce and cheese were delicious but the crust ruined it. I was hungry so I ate it. If they work on the crust situation I'd be happy to return, since the location is great, right in todos Santos plaza. Service was great, the inside of the restaurant was a little cramped but clean. read more

Rolled in on a Fri night about 615 on a toasty Concord evening. 2 people at the bar. By the time we left about an hour later, 2 more at the bar, another table full and one table of 6 turned over. Slow. Service was friendly, attentive, without being over bearing. Could have used another minute to figure out drinks but thats ok. Knowing the specific names of draft beers is important for some people, not just "Side Gate Hazy". Ambiance- cool spot, enjoyed the video screens running Italian / European walks. Sports on the other TVs was good for the guys. Food - decent, not outstanding. The tiramasu was decent, above average. The ravioli was good, tender pasta, good sauce. Spaghetti and Meatballs had a chunky meat sauce that was very mild, slightly greasy. The balls themselves were very tough. Portion size was good for average appetites. Menu was small (not necessarily bad) but cheap plastic. Overall an average experience. I hope tonight's flow was not typical. read more

Cafe Napolina - Tiramasu - decent! - Pizza Near Me - Concord, California

Not only was the food amazing, everyone that worked there was super friendly smiling from the kitchen. They had like 6 TVs playing sports so you were able to watch World Cup. Very clean restaurant! My hubby ordered the pizza the sauce was delicious the crust was thin and flavorful the sausage was fresh ham had a good thickness to it. My Caesar Salad had the right amount of dressing and let me tell you I ordered a side of grilled shrimp that was seasoned with garlic and spices made my whole salad. As you can tell we started to eat the tiramisu before I got a picture thank goodness I got part of it before the plate was licked clean. You need to try this place!! read more

My family and I decided to have lunch here on Father's Day. We had such a wonderful experience! Their staff were so friendly and attentive. We had two children and they loved the kids Mac and cheese. You can tell their dishes are fresh and prepared to order. I ordered the Mango Avocado salad (add chicken) and it was incredible!! Everyone in our party loved their dishes. My husband especially loved their chicken Caesar wrap! It was nice and cool inside and a great break from the heat outside. Plus they had the World Cup on, which was awesome for us! Everyone in my family thoroughly enjoyed our experience and we will definitely be back! read more

Stumbled upon this place for lunch randomly. My dad and I wanted a small lunch to share so we got the meat pizza. It was the thin NY style. Pizza came piping hot with an incredible san Marzano tomato sauce. We finished with a cannoli. Would come again. It is to be noted from what I could see, the red wine selection was mediocre but a few craft/draft beer selection. read more

When I sat down at this restaurant, I was looking over the menu and didn't know what the quality of the food was going to be. The menu made me think this was a basic place to eat at. The staff was quick to get drinks and orders in. Music and vibes were good! I ordered the Alfredo Chicken with bread and Cannoli. This Alfredo Chicken was hands down the best I've ever had (don't tell my mom or nonna!) I was absolutely surprised by the quality and freshness! This restaurant is definitely a 5 star quality hidden gem. After eating the delicious mini cannolis, I spoke with DJ the owner. He's been doing this for 19 years and brought the amazing quality from New York. Cafe Napolina will always be a mandatory stop when I'm in town. read more

Brooklyn in the house! New York in da house! I went here on the behest of my friend and she had it right - this is a new gem in Concord! Excellent marguerita pizza and the standard spaghetti and meatballs. Deejay the owner gave us the rundown on their move from Brooklyn and was kind to both of us. We had a great time! Check it out Yelpers if you want authentic New York style pizza and Italian cuisine in the East Bay! read more

Came here recently after a Fest by a nearby brewery. It is in the same building where I used to multi different restaurants perviously i.e. Tower Grill and Parkside cafe. This is my 1st time going to this place now Italian theme. I had ordered a Philly Cheesesteak and a Pilsner. Wifey ordered a Chicken Caprese salad. My friends ordered a Burger and a Chicken Philly with fries. Owner seemed jovial and the food came out nice pretty quick. I liked the fries and the Philly sammie was alright. I will try something different next time and maybe a pizza but nonetheless it was a good visit. read more

My partner and I looked into this place one day while on a walk through Todo Center. We met DJ and, although we weren't able to eat there that day, seeing his place and speaking with this kind and passionate man, we said we would definitely come back to try the place out. Well we did that tonight and I must say, this place is a real gem! DJ's passion for cooking shines through the amazing food! There was also a solo live music show that created a wonderful atmosphere where the smooth melodies complimented and worked symbiotically with the physical space, the transcendent aroma of the food, and the hypnotic pallet of flavors that reminds you of the old neighborhood... Thank you DJ! read more

Went here on a Monday during the holiday for a late lunch (1:30pm) and there were only 2 other people in the restaurant. I figured service would be on point as there was minimal people. We found ourselves having to flag the waitress down for stuff. The kids wanted to try truffle fries + the cheese balls. It wasn't quite what they expected. Potatoes were thick wedges vs the fries they expected. Truffle flavor was great. The cheese balls were good but more like a potato ball than a cheese ball. The kids favorite thing was the Margarita pizza. We had the bolognese (good) and the fettuccini Alfredo (good) but both dishes were a bit heavy on the garlic. read more

My wife and I tried this place out for lunch. She got the Philly, but in a wrap. It was great! No complaints. I got one of the thin crust pizzas, with bell peppers, sausage, etc... It said thin crust, but wasn't that thin... not a bad thing, just observation from expectation. Regardless, it was delicious. Definitely adding it to the Friday lunch rotation. Very clean place. Staff were very friendly as well!! read more

I've been here many times and I've never had a bad experience. This place is my go to Pizza and pasta spot! Also their burgers and especially their Philly Cheesesteak is to die for. Drink prices during happy hour can't be beat either! My friends and I go there at least 3x a week. Even more during the warm nights. Also during Christmas season, the decorations are so festive and inviting. Even Halloween night, this was the place to be for a dance party. Haha!!! I've come to love this restaurant like a home away from home. The people who work here are super friendly and thoughtful. Everyone should come try this place out. You never know, we may even run into each other read more

Pasta has absolutely no taste. The overcooked chicken with bitter pesto sauce. And the seafood linguine was dry and tasteless. The minestrone soup tastes like hot water with overcooked chicken and vegetables. Overall food experience was horrific and I struggled to call this Italian food. However the servicer was great. She was attentive and polite. Overall experience we will NOT return!! read more

Excellent food. Loved the calamari and my Caesars salad. Server was very attentive and friendly. I'll be coming back.

Pretty good menu with appetizers, salads, kid menu, pizza's, pasta dishes, sandwiches/wraps, sides, & dessert. Happy Hour 2 - 5 pm, only beer & wine, no bar available. Also sodas & shakes. read more

It was my first time getting food here. I ordered a chicken caesar wrap to go. On the menu, the price for the chicken Caesar wrap is $16.95. The employee gave me a discount on it because they recently opened. My total for the wrap was $13.95. It also came with French fries but on the menu, it doesn't say that French fries are included so that was a nice bonus. My favorite part of my meal was the French fries. I wish the chicken Caesar wrap had more Caesar sauce. The ambiance was nice. It felt casual/romantic since there was flowers hanging from the ceiling. I would get the fries from here again. The employee said it would take 10 minutes for my wrap to be ready. The wait felt longer than 10 minutes. read more

Excellent service and craft beer and wine. Had pizza with vodka sauce which was super delicious and I heard they might be adding sesame seeds or everything bagel to pizza crust which will make it even more delicious. My friend had spaghetti and meatballs which he really liked and a fresh conolli from Sicily. Highly recommend trying this wonderful restaurants. Owners are super nice. read more

This is an awesome local restaurant in Todos Santos Plaza. Food was great, service was really good, and the vibes were warm and welcoming within the restaurant with the owner chatting with multiple tables. We ordered the calamari, vodka chicken pizza on new york crust, and Napolina burger. It's silly but I always like getting a burger at pizza/italian places since I fell in love with the big burgers at Rainbow Pizza over in San Mateo as a kid. Napolina burger was really good with caramelized onions, love a good chicken pizza (not a lot of spots have vodka sauce as an option but it's great), and calamari had a nice corn meal coating and was a bit overcooked for my pref but still nice. We kept the garlic mayo to eat with the fries which was so good. Prices were surprisingly affordable too: $10 for the burger and fries, $11 for the calamari, and $23 for the pizza. Definitely want to go back! read more

On my second visit, I dined in for lunch this time. My partner had the pasta, which was well enjoyed. I got another sandwich - the chicken Philly - I didn't love it. The bread was perfectly panini? pressed. The chicken was moist, but not the standout of the sandwich. It could have used a little more cheese and smaller diced veggies. Also, there was some burnt/charred flavor that I couldn't identify so that was a bit off-putting. I ended up eating just the chicken cheese and half the bread. I think they should offer a pesto chicken and/or meatball sandwich instead. This visit only garnered 3 stars, but the initial Togo order of the napolina burger was 5 stars, so 4 stars it is... read more
