An Autumn Affair: A Night of Style and Celebration on the Napolita Northbrook Patio

As the first cool breezes of fall swept through downtown Northbrook, the patio of Napolita Pizzeria & Wine Bar transformed into a warm and vibrant gathering place for the North Shore community. In collaboration with NS Magazine, we hosted An Autumn Affair on Thursday, September 25, a stylish evening that brought together local tastemakers, friends and neighbors to toast the new season in style.

A North Shore Evening to Remember

Guests were welcomed onto our cozy, twinkle-lit patio for a night that perfectly captured the spirit of the North Shore. With crisp fall air, rustic Italian flavors and an elegant ambiance, the event was the perfect reminder of why Napolita Northbrook is a sought-after destination for special occasions and private events.

The evening featured a wine tasting presented by Scarpetta Wine, allowing guests to sip and explore a curated selection of Italian wines that paired beautifully with Napolita’s menu. Guests also enjoyed ready-to-drink cocktails from Gardenista, adding a refreshing seasonal twist to the night. Attendees mingled over signature dishes from our kitchen and visited a custom cannoli station where freshly filled treats were made to order.

As glasses clinked and conversations flowed, the sound of live guitar by The Summer of George set the tone for a relaxed and elegant evening surrounded by friends and local favorites.

The event also marked the celebration of NS Magazine’s September Style issue, bringing together the “who’s who” of the North Shore for a night of connection and community. From local business leaders to loyal Napolita guests, the patio was buzzing with energy, laughter and fall inspiration.
