    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!

    The gnocchi alla Sorrentina were wonderful. So was the paranza and the stuffed zucchini flower.

    Everything about the meal was lovely - the appetizer, main (pasta with seafood) and the house dessert If I visit Naples again, I'd definitely want to have another meal here.

    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.

    Everything I was looking for. Old family run restaurant that exudes Neapolitan charm and an elevated but not fussy dining experience. A small one room dining area that probably hasn't changed in decades but remains timelessly comfortable and elegant

    A modest restaurant. The service is good but there was only one person on the floor and he had to keep everything going. The food was tasty, not too fancy.

    A tiny restaurant a couple of blocks from Piazza Bellini. The owner was friendly and attentive, and the food was amazing. Make a reservation: there are only eight tables.

    A great find for those that are tired of eating Pizza in Napoli! Our caprese was very good, with good mozzarella and a fantastic olive oil (trust me, this comes from a Greek: it was seriously good!), the meats excellent, the salad rich and fresh, and the service efficient and friendly. Well done and thank you!

    8 tables so be sure to make a reservation! We enjoyed it so much, we went a 2nd time. Wonderful, attentive service that paired with the excellent food. The atmosphere draws a well-dressed, refined base of regulars.
