Osimhen linked up with Kvaratskhelia for his first two goals which came inside 19 minutes.
Kvaratskhelia got on the scoresheet himself as Napoli went into half-time 3-0 up.
They continued their dominance in the next 45 minutes, with Osimhen completing his hat-trick by intercepting a poor Sassuolo pass and chipping the ball over Andrea Consigli.
Napoli are now six points clear of Milan, who play Torino on Sunday night.
A terrible week for Atletico Madrid
They fell behind after 27 seconds thanks to Theo Bongonda before Alex Fernandez appeared to seal the match for the home side with his 81st minute goal.
However, an own goal from Luis Fernandez and a stunner from Joao Felix saw Atletico pull level in the 89th minute.
In the eighth and final minute of injury time, Ruben Sobrino turned in Ivan Alejo’s cross despite the ball appearing to glance his arm. VAR allowed the goal to stand.
