The best restaurants Naples

Young and trendy clientele for an establishment located in one of the most elegant streets of Naples. Wide choice of pizzas, each one as good as the next, with a special mention for the montanara . The Mattozzialso serves some of the classics of Neapolitan cuisine: pasta alla genovese and alla nerano, sausage and friarielli, and the traditional fried foods that most pizzerias offer. For a break before or after shopping.

For the little story, it was 20 August 1916 that Salvatore Grasso opened his pizzeria. To date, during the Great War, Italian troops entered Gorizia. Since the decoration has not moved… Indeed, the place's loyal faithful eat here since the opening. Marble and white walls, lovely chandeliers, very elegant server, little trip over time. Dishes from all over Italy and of course excellent pizza. A class address accessible to all awards.

Opened since 1922, this legendary Neapolitan restaurant has always been renowned for the quality of its food. Pasta dishes are delicious, finely cooked and nicely presented. The terrace has a lovely view of the city that it dominates in part. The atmosphere is relaxed and relaxed. The menu varies according to the seasons, because here is fresh.

Crowded at lunchtime, get ready. Here we eat pizzas al taglio: baked in large rectangular pans, the pizzas are served in square portions and are charged by weight. The toppings vary according to what comes out of the oven when you order: tomatoes and mozzarella, zucchini flowers, escarole, everything is good (there is, however, some reticence about pizza with fried potatoes...). To eat on the spot or to take away. Perfect to fill a small hollow during a walk.

Located a little higher than the French Institute (Il Grenoble) on the same street. Traditional Italian cuisine. Prices are very attractive compared to the local rates.

You have to take the road to the Posillipo district to reach this elegant white villa ideally positioned on the heights facing the Bay of Naples. Calasole for squid del sole, "sunset", which can be admired through the large bay windows of the restaurant. The restaurant is not only worth a visit for its panoramic location, it also offers good Neapolitan cuisine that favours seafood: the Calasole seafood gnocchi are worth a visit. The service is sober and classy, just like the place.

One of the best known addresses in Naples, situated at the very end of the Chiaia Riviera, at the foot of the Posillipo hill. Classical Neapolitan cuisine that gives pride of place to seafood in all its forms, whether fried, grilled, in cassolettes or with pasta. Carnivores are not forgotten, however, and the restaurant also serves pizzas. Very good welcome; if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing place, on the other hand, this is not the right address. A little expensive compared to the usual rates in Naples.

If you ask a Neapolitan where to eat the best fried pizza, chances are they'll send you here: De' Figliole is a Naples institution, founded in 1860 by a certain Gennaro Apetino. He dedicated the establishment to his three daughters, his figliole, and since then, the pizzeria has been handed down from generation to generation, always offering the same formula: fried pizzas, with various traditional toppings, such as ricotta, tomato and ham, or sausage and friarielli (well, there's also a sweet version with Nutella!).

Located in the Vomero, Osteria is a small family-run restaurant founded in 1913. It offers seven to eight tables and well-executed Neapolitan cuisine, including grilled sardines and meatballs in tomato sauce. Special mention for the bread, supplied by the same baker for 40 years. Dishes here change regularly, so there's no set menu. On the other hand, be prepared to eat well, because here the protocol of the Italian meal is followed to the letter, i.e. primo, secondo and dessert. You'll feel right at home, ideal for lunch.

This Spaccanapoli friggitoria has made a name for itself and stands out from the competition thanks to the exclusive use of fresh seasonal produce and thanks to the imagination of Gino, the chef, who has fun changing his creations and never ceases to surprise. Originally a paradise for fried chicken, the restaurant now offers a wide range of delicacies for those with a small appetite, without ever compromising on quality. Various proposals based on seafood products, but our favourite goes to the sausage dumpling and friarielli.

Restaurant and wine bar housed in an ancient cellar dug into the tufa rock that once belonged to the Girolamini complex. The setting is picturesque, with shelves of wine bottles, and the terrace facing the church of San Giuseppe dei Ruffi is just as pleasant. Ideal at lunchtime or as an aperitif to enjoy a Campania wine accompanied by an assortment of cheeses and cured meats. But you can also enjoy traditional Neapolitan cuisine, sometimes revisited according to the chef's mood.

Notizia's pizza has to be earned: it's a long way by public transport, and buses are rare after 10pm... If you have a car, however, you'll have no trouble parking. At La Notizia, we cultivate the concept of "gourmet pizza", topped with high-quality ingredients combined in original combinations. Ricotta di bufala, Cetara anchovies, buffalo sausage... the raw materials used, far from concealing the dough under a flood of flavours, actually enhance its taste and texture.

Zendraglie is a Neapolitan term derived from the French word for "entrails": not surprising, since this is a tripe shop, one of the most renowned in Naples, right in the heart of the Pignasecca market. Next to the stall where offal of all kinds hangs, the two-storey restaurant welcomes a cosmopolitan clientele in a neighborhood trattoria atmosphere. Tripe eaters will be delighted, with generous portions cooked in sauce, with white beans or in salad! The restaurant also serves traditional Neapolitan dishes.

The regulars' meeting place! Here, no map, the boss announces his preparations for the day. Atmosphere of a neighbourhood canteen. Traditional and tasty dishes, served in very generous portions, such as the pasta allagenovese (a meat and onion-based sauce simmered for hours) and the polpette al sugo (meatballs in tomato sauce). Culinary specialities are served throughout the year to accompany the festivities: lasagna napoletana during Carnival or minestra maritata di Natale at Christmas. Excellent value for money.

One of the first vegetarian restaurants in Naples, open for more than twenty years. It is located at the end of a small inner courtyard, in a discreet corner of Piazza Bellini. It serves macrobiotic dishes, based on organic products. On the menu are colourful antipasti, fried foods and legumes, vegetable risottos, seitan and tofu chops, but also cheese platters and mozzarella di bufala. A healthy and dietetic address.

Interesting for the terrace that overlooks a small square that is always very lively, next to the church of Sant'Angelo a Nilo. The pizzas are very good and offer various toppings, from the classic margherita to the pizza with zucchini flowers and ricotta filled crust, certainly unorthodox in terms of tradition, but so appetizing! In addition to the pizzas, there are various typical desserts such as lemon pie, babà or pastiera napoletana.

Located on the port opposite the boats and near the castel dell'ovo. Real and venerable institution in Naples since its opening in 1890 by Teresa. Seafood specialities given the location. To taste the delicious polipo affogato and excellent pasta. The menu also offers pizzas made from high - quality products, in respect of the Neapolitan tradition. Very pleasant terrace always of the return of the weather, is nearly 9 months in 12...

Chain of pizzeria, you will find some of them in Naples, but also in several towns of Campania and of Italy. There are a wide selection of pizzas and other dishes. Everything is very good and the price is reasonable, especially compared to the area.

In addition to the traditional pizzas, the hotel is truly proud of Neapolitan cuisine. On 2 levels, murals at an extra cost in the lower room, you get very well with a cheap menu.

A real little favourite for this trattoria in the Spanish districts. Via Roma, the vico della Tofa, you go up will be welcomed by the owner. Here, the sober and elegant is combined with delicious cuisine, at low prices and the generous portions. Keep a little space for a glass of limoncello.

Brick walls, wooden tiles and chairs: Here are the emblematic elements of a true Italian trattoria. This establishment is among the recognized addresses in the city. Its strategic location and its very correct kitchen are the reasons for this success.

This pizzeria was founded by Ernesto Cacialli, former pizzaiolo at Di Matteo (also in via Tribunali), who was visited by George Clinton, who was in Naples for the G7 in 1994. He named his pizzeria "Il Pizzaiolo del Presidente" in memory of his illustrious guest. Inside, you'll find various rooms decorated with photos, one of which is located in a vaulted cellar. Very relaxed service and excellent pizzas. Forget the menu, do as the Neapolitans do and have a margherita or quattrogusti with a beer.

The clientele of regulars and tourists blends well and seems to enjoy. On December 13th, day of the celebration of Santa Lucia, bangers and fireworks echo in the whole area. During our stay, this simple view of admiring the male guests in front of much noise properly translated the very Neapolitan taste for the explosion and sound event...

The Neapolitan institution Al 53 can sometimes suffer from its success by delivering an uneven cuisine and below its reputation. On good days, on the other hand, you will enjoy generous land and sea antipasti, grilled fish dishes, spaghetti alle vongole and other specialities of the Parthenopoean tradition, to be accompanied, for example, by a bottle of local wine. A pleasant terrace in a corner of Piazza Dante, where you can enjoy the perpetual animation that inhabits this pretty square.

Next to the bell tower of the Basilica of Santa Chiara. Founded in 1922 by a certain Luigi Lombardi, this historic pizzeria, although very busy, does not have the same crowds as its counterparts in Via Tribunali. If the long lines in front of Sorbillo and Di Matteo's pizzerias put you off, sit down here: the traditional Neapolitan pizzas, of similar quality, are excellent and topped with quality products. The menu also includes antipasti, pasta dishes and excellent meat and fish dishes.

Vegan cuisine in a street food version. Every day, a new menu is written on the big board: legumes are in good place, as well as cereals such as millet and spelt, all served with seasonal vegetables and vegetable sauces. Several formulas allow you to taste the different preparations. You can also compose your own panino by choosing from the menu among the corn patties and the seitan and tofu burgers. Fiber and vitamins for a change from pizza and deep-fried cones!

Surrounded by tourist establishments, this grocery store in Via Tribunali has nevertheless managed to preserve its authenticity and a loyal local clientele that comes to buy good cured meats and delicious regional cheeses. The address offers panini generously filled with quality ingredients of controlled origin: mozzarella di bufala, capocollo from Martina Franca (a town in Puglia famous for its cold cuts), artichokes from Paestum, provolone del monaco (a cheese)... To take away or to taste on the spot at the few high tables.

In the panorama of Neapolitan pizzerias of international renown, Ciro Salvo's pizzeria, 50 Kalò, has earned a good reputation. Just look at the crowd of customers waiting on the sidewalk! You give your name at the entrance and wait to be called when a table becomes available. If the pizzas are generous while remaining very digestible, the address is also distinguished by the quality of the ingredients of the topping: these are scrupulously selected, with a card which evolves with the seasons.

A real neighborhood trattoria, family-run and popular, located at the corner of a street where tourists never venture, which makes it a confidential address known only to Neapolitans. There is nothing elaborate here, just simple and good food that still has a few good surprises in store, such as the artichoke braised as an antipasto and the polipetto affogato as a main course (octopus simmered in a tomato sauce with red wine). Some evenings, the trattoria comes alive with traditional Italian songs played by a musician.

A charming location in Naples for this restaurant in Castel dell'Ovo, which boasts a long history in the restaurant business, dating back to 1930.
