Cafe Napolina is amazingly delicious and friendly. We were welcomed at the front door and seated right away. The ambiance in the room is filled with music and right across the street from the downtown concord park area giving you that metropolis city feeling. But thats all second to the food! I got the bolognese pasta plate which was my perfect level of dente and the meat sauce was delicious and memorable..so much so that ill only come here for that taste... thank you sooo much cafe Napolina my family was impressed!!! read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cafe Napolina - Was delicious - Pizza Near Me - Concord, California

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

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

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

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

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 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

Great place for excellent pizza, pasta and treat yourself to an Italian soda. Must try this place

Went there yesterday will never go back ! Waited 45 minutes before we got some of the food. This is not an authentic Italian restaurant at all . Pasta portions very small made with minced garlic not fresh, not homemade sauce either . The Calamari was a joke just super small looked like popcorn chicken over fried . The owner kept going outside instead of getting our order out . Very inexperienced restaurant don't waste your time or money . Mind you we were the only customers in the restaurant and still had bad service . 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

Hands down the BEST place around! We've celebrated both of our son's birthdays here in the past month, and we seriously can't stop going back. The hospitality is incredible DJ and his wife make you feel so welcomed, like you're right at home from the moment you walk in. The food is absolutely amazing. Everything is homemade, authentic and you can truly taste the love in every dish. We've ordered almost everything on the menu, and every single item has been a 10 out of 10. The service is warm, genuine, and always attentive they really care about their guests. We're pretty picky eaters, and this is one of the only places where every single one of us (all 5 of us) leaves completely happy. It's officially become our go-to place for birthdays and celebrations and honestly, any excuse we can find to come back. If you haven't been yet, you absolutely need to visit. We highly, highly recommend it! 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

The food was great, service was good, the owner came and talked with my girlfriend and I for a bit and told us some of his back story, even brought us a dessert on the house, the beer was great, everyone working there was very friendly, the owner is a great guy, the place is clean and has a nice atmosphere, we will 100% be returning to continue trying the rest of the menu items, might be one of our new weekly dinner spots 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

Great food and atmosphere. Very clean and friendly restaurant. A good place to stop in and grab a meal to eat there or grab a meal to go

So this was our first time ordering from here, and we were really looking forward to a good meal. Unfortunately, the takeout experience was very disappointing. We ordered two pasta dishes the ravioli and the bolognese and both were extremely oily. It was so excessive that we had to blot them with napkins to try and soak up the oil, which is something I've never had to do for pasta before. The photos on Yelp looked great, so maybe the quality suffers with takeout? Still, that shouldn't justify the poor quality. Really disappointed. read more

Right in Todos Santos Plaza so great location. Bruschetta was good and the two dudes cooking and running the place were super nice. If you order wine just be aware that they own bottles willy nilly and let them sit there. I counted 17 bottles of wine open with corks sticking out. No system there and you may get a class from an old open bottle like I did. They did then open me a fresh one and all was good. I love the inside. Plenty of TVs and nice atmosphere with plenty of outdoor seating as well. Will come back to try the pizza etc next time. Oh and prices are very reasonable. Check it out! read more
