Welcoming and attentive staff. Some dishes were a bit too salty, otherwise, excellent!

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very cozy, with a small dining room of only about 8 tables. There was a wide variety of food and drink available. Very centrally located near the Museum and Dante Metro Station.

The rissotto was good, but I asked a cup of orange juice, when I paid, its price surprised me. The rissotto was 10 euros, the juice was 6 euros!!and only half cup!!

There are seats for 30 in this restaurant. Many will come to the door, hoping for a spot. You’ll feel like you discovered the it place - and you have. Fantastic food, meticulously prepared. Friendly, attentive service. A truly memorable meal!

This is such a great place to eat in the historic centre of Naples. Small and intimate, with a great atmosphere and genuinely good local food. I loved the fried anchovies and the eggplant starters. The host was welcoming and helpful in making our experience here memorable.

The most delicious dinner and experience we had during our trip in Italy. Loved every part of our meal - the wine, the fresh and tasty food, the dessert and the nicest man who took care of us. So happy that we got a reservation—and will definitely be thinking of this meal forever! Don’t miss this restaurant!

I have now dined at this beautiful restaurant twice and returning a third time. The food is outstanding - the seafood pastas I’ve ordered have been delicious - flavours that are phenomenal. The service is wonderful and the ambiance of this place is truly welcoming. It is clear that the owner and staff are truly passionate about creating a dining experience that goes beyond expectations. This small establishment is a shining star in the city of Naples, that food lovers should not miss. Make sure to have a reservation booked well in advance!!

It is difficult to decide which was better here, the food or the atmosphere. We absolutely loved our dinner here. The owner/waiter was so kind and friendly and the food and wine choices were amazing. One of the best meals and experiences we had during our 9 days in Italy. Highly recommend!

Do yourself a favor and eat here. The food is outstanding, as is the ambiance and service. The mushroom risotto and linguine with seafood were both to die for, ditto the homemade house dessert. If you had a meal like this in the United States for three times the price, you'd be thanking your lucky stars. The restaurant has been owned by the same family for over fifty years; the son, who now runs it, is a delightful person who conveys a passion for great food. Truly one of the outstanding meals I've had in my life. I'd give this restaurant 10 stars on a scale of 5!

We were staying just around the corner from this lovely cozy little restaurant, just 10 tables. It was recommended by our hotel and others on TripAdvisor. We were not disappointed. Had nice, though very quiet, service from the single server. Husband had a delicious app of fried salted cod. I had seafood soup that was more seafood in shell with small amount of tomato based broth. Good, but labor intensive to get all those tiny sea creatures out of their shells. Then we shared seafood pasta - more of the same (what was I thinking.). Pasta and seafood were good though. Delicious Panacotta for dessert.

We came here after a recommendation from a friend, who said she would go back to Naples just to have another meal here. It didn’t disappoint! The service started a little slow and we were unsure of how it was going to go, but once we gave into patience and relaxed into it we had a lovely evening. It was the best pasta I’ve ever had. And the best calamari we’ve ever had. And pretty much the best beef we’ve ever had. A lovely little place, with a kind and gentle man at the heart of it. I hope it stays the same forever.

This is a small restaurant with 8 tables.The menu is simple and the food is all well cooked.The wine list is good and reasonably priced. There is just one waiter who may be the patron who is knowledge and very helpful. Nothing is rushed and the experience is relaxed. Our overall bill for two for shared starter platter,2 main courses with side dishes and 2 desserts plus wine came to a very reasonable £100 with tip.
