Di Napoli is a fast-casual pasta and panini restaurant at 29 W. University Parkway in Orem, opened May 14, 2025, by the family behind Napoli's Italian Restaurant in Ogden and Sandy. You order at the counter, staff bring the food out, and every panini is built on a house-made schiacciata flatbread.
A note on these details: The website listed for Di Napoli (di-napolis.com) didn't load for us, and neither did its delivery-app menu, so we couldn't confirm current prices or hours with the restaurant. Details below come from the Salt Lake Tribune's July 2025 review, plus diner reports on Atly, a gluten-free dining map. Check its delivery listing or call before you go.
What's on the menu
The Salt Lake Tribune described a menu of salads, panini and pasta, built to be quicker than the slow-cooked dishes at the family's Napoli's restaurants:
- Panini on schiacciata, an Italian flatbread like focaccia that the family spent four months developing. The grilled chicken panini, with stracciatella, arugula, balsamic glaze and roasted red peppers, was $17; the family called it "simple, classic, very elegant."
- Pastas that cook faster than Napoli's.
- Gluten-free pasta. Diners reviewing Di Napoli on Atly, a gluten-free dining map, reported that gluten-free pasta is available for nearly all of its pasta dishes and that staff answered questions about sauces; the reviews are undated, so mention dietary needs when you order.
- Desserts made in-house, including an Italian cream cake ($8) layered with mascarpone cream and served with berries.
The family
The Qerimi family brought the Napoli's brand to Utah from Texas, opening in Ogden in 2022 and Sandy in 2024, the Tribune reported. When the South Ogden Napoli's opened in June 2022, the Standard-Examiner described it as part of a family-owned group that began in the Bronx in 1987 and named Antonio Geminiani as owner; its menu then ran from $13 to $18 at lunch and $16 to $25 at dinner, with the same Italian cream cake on the dessert list. At Di Napoli, Nino Qerimi is a manager, and his brother Franky said the Orem restaurant is "a little bit more modern" than the others, with brown leather booths, black chairs and white tables.
