DINNER & A MOVIE = DATE NIGHT

DINNER & A MOVIE in October takes you to Napoli, and then cruising down the Nile…

As the brisk winds of Fall hustle in, Dinner & A Movie wants you to get out and explore, not one, not two, but eventually 3-locations of a local, family owned and operated Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge, Café Napoli. Originally started in the heart of Clayton at the corner Forsythe and Bemiston, Café Napoli features the most exquisite menu, and drink selections that you just have to partake of!

After the great success that Owners Tony and Kathy Pietoso achieved in Clayton, they decided to expand their Restaurant expertise westward, opening up their second location in Town and Country, aptly named Napoli 2.

And now, as sons Ande and Kye keep both of these locations flourishing night after night, the Pietoso’s have decided to continue their quest of sharing their delectable food and beverages all throughout St. Louis, with a fabulous new location in the Streets of St. Charles Complex, called Napoli 3. 

According to son Ande, opening up this location in the heart of St. Charles, is totally a dream come true.  “My parents worked so hard to start our original location, and expand it through the years, that my brother Kye and I are really honored to be able to take on both Café Napoli and our second location, Napoli 2 for them.  Now, as our family ventures out even further West to St. Charles, we can’t wait to see if all of our hard work, and vision comes to fruition within our third location, which is slated to open in late 2020 or early 2021.  And even though we are excited about this expansion, we hope that everyone will continue to visit our Clayton and Town and Country locations too, even once Napoli 3 has opened its doors.”

And now that you’ve had the opportunity to check out 2 locations of Napoli until 2021 arrives, we hope that you’ll also venture out to a theater in Clayton, or Town and Country, to catch a murder mystery, straight from the pages of an Agatha Christie novel, Death on the Nile.

DEATH ON THE NILE – Hits in Theaters October 23rd 

Based on the 1937 Novel by famed Detective novelist Agatha Christie, our favorite sleuth Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) is taking a pleasure cruise down the Nile River, when the wealthy heiress Linnet Ridgeway Doyle (Gal Gadot) is mysteriously murdered.  Now it’s up to Poirot to find out who killed the Heiress amongst the remaining guests, but the problem is, many of them are meeting with their own demise as the cruise continues…

Death on the Nile also stars Annette Bening, Armie Hammer, Russell Brand, Tom Bateman, Emma Mackey, Rose Leslie and Sophie Okonedo

Or if Agatha Christie mysteries aren’t your “cup of tea”, then might we suggest you head back to your own abode to catch the new Netflix Original film, Rebecca.

 

REBECCA – Hits on Netflix in October 21st

Caught in a whirlwind romance with handsome widower Maxim de Winter (Armie Hammer),, the young and naïve new Mrs. de Winter (Lily James) finds herself now living within the walls of her husband’s lavish family Estate, nestled on the English coast.  And as she struggles to settle into married life, she finds that she cannot shake the hauntingly present, and constant reminder of his first wife, the gorgeous and refined Rebecca.

Rebecca also stars Kristin Scott Thomas, Ann Dowd, Sam Riley, Bill Patterson and Kelley Hawes

And we hope that regardless which film you choose to view, once again it's a Date Night that you won't soon forget!
