The restaurant is owned by three sisters who were so welcoming and friendly. The food was great and the best ragu I have had in ages. We loved everything we ordered and the vino della casa was very inexpensive and very good. I heartily recommend this restaurant and advise eating outside so you can enjoy the ambience and people watching.

We happened to visit on the night Naples won the Italian soccer finals against Sardinia, and the city was in a state of joyous frenzy, with screens set up in every street of the city center--including a few feet away from the restaurant. In the midst of the chaos, the sister-owners did an amazing job of caring for their guests. The food was delicious, the service perfect, and the warmth and kindness of the small staff--under considerable stress--is impossible to overstate. An unforgettable evening. Grazie, Laura e famiglia!

Wonderful staff and food. Very personal service with staff who made the effort to explain the fresh fish (on display in the restaurant) and the dishes and make recommendations. Food was excellent with good portion size.

Great Napoli Seafood casual restaurant. Fresh seafood, one of the best Spaghetti alle vongole in town (great aroma of garlic, olive oil, and herbs). Great swordfish! Highly recommended for visiting an inexpensive, family managed, great seafood and pasta restaurant located in an alley in an older neighborhood,

We enjoyed an excellent dinner. We ordered the special and were not disappointed the fish was cooked perfectly and the waiter de-boned it for us at the table. The atmosphere was great - it was very busy with people waiting and it all felt very authentic. Highly recommend.

We got to the restaurant and the reservation was not honored. We took over 1 hour waiting for a table. Food was hit and miss. The starters were good but the pasta was bland. We will give it a try because the ladies serving were nice

We were very disappointed with this restaurant. Maybe they had a bad night. We a reservation but were kept waiting for 40 minutes. The 2 glasses proseco we ordered were flat. They were out of the wine we ordered. The ragu pasta dish my fiancée ordered was ice cold and had to be sent back. Won't go back.

The personalized service from a traditional Neopolitan family owned restaurant with all three sisters working daily to make your dinning experience special is first of all amazing! As a chef specilaizing in Italian cuisine I was very impressed with their amazing blackened grilled flavor, freshness of their fish daily caught, authenticly cooked pasta and old world sauces passed down from their grandmother's recipes along with home made traditional Neapolitan desserts! This simply stated is Naples best dinning experience!

We felt ripped off as we were charged 120 euros for 2 courses. Rather than allowing us to have a look at the menu, we were shown fish but not told the price. RIP off place. Avoid

Made a reservation based off a TikTok and it was better than expected! We were there for my daughter’s birthday and they made us feel so special! The food was amazing!!

I'm sorry but this was the worst experience I've had in a very long time. We ordered two grilled fish and received two burnt fish. After our complaint we were "educated" that this is the right way to prepare fish "for taste". Two times by two different waitresses. I can understand that mistakes happen sometimes. But the zero effort to accommodate the guests or accept the fault? This was the worst spent 90 euros in Italy by a large margin. And we travel to this beautiful country very often. Avoid this tourist trap, there are so many wonderful options in a great city of Napoli.

A smaller restaurant that makes what it can with the space they have. Food was very good but after the order they did not believe that we will eat it all ;-)) The service was great with a lot of chat so you get the feeling you know tham all in a few minutes. As it is "smaller inside" maybe who is not into it, should stay, outside but they will definitly miss the "you know them all feeling". The AC is running too so while outside was around 29°C inside it was around 23 and that was great (even with the open main door). Go there, enouy the food, the people, the singing ;-)

Excellent food and Neapolitan experience!

This is a place like no other: long shared tables, loud and a bit chaotic, good food and great energy. Surrounded by locals, we ate well and the service was courteous. If you are looking for a romantic dinner, this is not the place. But if you want to feel the Napoli energy and share a moment with genuine people, this is the spot.

Great experience exceeding expectations. Very nice , friendly and caring owners. In particular my bithday surprise was very much appreciated . Great atmosphere - we felt as a part of the family. Excellent food typical for Naples in particular seafood ( please see menu online). After visiting Italy many times I can fully confirm that .Street musicians entertaining guests and nice vine as well. It was perfect evening which me & family will remember. We definitely will be back again .

Booked in advance as only spent 1 night in Naples and wanted a traditional meal to celebrate our Anniversary. Not much for the vegetarian but my husband loved his food , having 3 fish courses. The staff are all female; friendly; efficient and lively. The restaurant was busy when we ate on a Thursday evening in June.

This trattoria is what we anticipated to be: the food ( a turbot very well cooked ); however the "pastas" are common to come with such a good fish. The service is very friendly: you are welcomed as a member of their family.

Fantastic seafood and pasta dishes! The wine and fresh bread choices are amazing! We had wonderful service from Antonella and Assunta! What a great place to go for a true taste of Naples!

One of the best restaurant experiences of our lives! I can’t overstate the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the general joie de vivre of Antica Taverna. We might have to fly back to Naples just for this restaurant!

Very good food in a nice area.
8.0
The food was very good, staff was nice. The restaurant is in a small alley with lots of restaurants around it. All the waiters know each other and fight/tease each other for taking "their" customers. It's very mediterranean to stretch dinner out, however we're used to being in a rush. This time we decided to relax and enjoy the food, because when in Napels...
7.5
Good food, fair service and lively street. Value for money was insanely good. English level of the staff is not the best, but for sure they get credit for trying, and communication is possible in the end
