8/10An easy to find restaurant in historic Naples. I was only able to book by using “ the fork.”. The food was reasonable. The only downside was the fact we were given a table next to the door which was frequently opened and left open by people wanting to book a table.

10/10This was our 2nd trip to Napoli and 2nd visit to this restaurant since we enjoyed it so much the first time. Food is beautifully cooked and tasty and great service. There are only 8 tables so advisable to book in advance. We would happily return a 3rd time if lucky enough to visit Napoli again.

9.5/10The 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.

7/10The 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!

10/10This 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.

10/10The 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.

+1I 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!!

10/10It 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!

10/10Do 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!

8.5/10We 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.
