This was our fist pasta in Naples and our last dinner of the whole trip. We luckily got in right away without a reservation. It has an extremely local "hole in the wall" type of vibe. Our servers didn't speak much English so I felt like that was a good sign that a lot more locals frequent this place than tourists. After eating nothing but pizza, pastries and the delicious fried street foods of Napoli for days we wanted something lighter for dinner. We ordered a caprese salad which was delicious. We are crazy about that fresh buffalo mozzarella. We ordered a 6 euro bottle of their house white wine which was actually really good. We were given some bread which was excellent as well. For our entrees I had a seafood spaghetti which had clams, mussels, and shrimp, if I recall correctly. My husband ordered a seafood pasta as well. Also great. It was a perfect last dinner in Naples and when we return we will definitely be coming back for more. read more

Family of four visiting Naples for three nights. Night one we went here and it was great. Quality of the food was very good, especially for the price. We got the large appetizer (40e)which was to large for us (but good). My seafood pasta was 10e. Very popular place so going much after they open at 7pm and I would get reservations. read more

The contorni slay -- highly recommend the eggplant in red sauce and the pepper in the pan. From the outside you can't tell it's not just another tourist trap, which is what makes it so delightful. A Michelin bib gourmand hiding in plain sight -- incredibly cheap, delicious, and fun. read more

My wife and I enjoyed dinner here and enjoyed the tasty food and lively atmosphere. The seafood pasta dishes were delicious. The grilled calamari was over cooked and chewy but when we complained, they agreed and quickly replaced it with a better prepared version. It was fun. read more

I had read the favorable reviews of Il Gobbetto, literally "The Hunchback", so we decided to have a look inside as we happened by. It is a cute little place just off Via Toledo and a stones throw from the infamous Teatro San Carlo, but a bit cramped with too many tables for the small room. It seems as though they cater to tourists as foreigners made up most of the clientele. We were squeezed into a corner table by the owner who speaks a little English, making maneuvering the elbows a little difficult. As is usually the case, our eyes were, metaphorically speaking, bigger than our stomachs and we ended up ordering antipasti (appetizers) and primi (first courses). For my wife's antipasto she ordered the Pacchero Fritto (€3), four deep fried cheese squares that were rather uninspiring. I on the other hand had l'insalata Caprese (Caprese salad - €6), sliced, ripe, juicy cherry tomatoes on a bed of rucola, and thick slices of mozzarella di bufala (mozzarella cheese made from milk of water buffalo, a specialty of Southern Italy's Mediterranean coastal region) topped with fresh basil leaves. You would easily pay $8 to $15 for a dish like this in the states, so the $6.75 price tag was not difficult to swallow ... yuk-yuk. For our primi and final courses of the night we decided to go with pasta. My wife had the Gnocchi del Gobbetto (€6), handmade gnocchi (potato dumplings) in a creamy cheese sauce with sliced zucchini and topped with fresh basil. The gnocchi were perfectly cooked, not too soft, not too hard, and the sauce perfectly complimented the lightness of the thinly sliced zucchini. The portion was perfect with just enough to fill you without bursting and the price extremely fair compared to U.S. restaurant standards. My Orecchiette Salsiccia e Provola (ear shaped pasta in a tomato sauce with ground sweet sausage and melted provolone cheese - €6) was exquisite. Again, handmade pasta, as is the case in most restaurants in Italy, was in just the right proportion to sauce, sausage and provolone, and was perfectly "al dente". One of my all-time favorite dishes is orecchiette salsiccia e friarielli (sausage and broccoli rabe sauteed in olive oil and garlic) and this was the first time I tried a version with tomato sauce. It may not become my favorite, but I will definitely be playing with this recipe at home and would order it again in a flash ... HOOAH! Cover charge (coperto) is just €1 per person, the service was excellent, and things moved quickly even though they were rather busy. The owner even took time to dance with a couple of pretty young lady customers in the middle of the room while his wife slaved away in the kitchen (I hope she doesn't read this or I might get him in trouble). Their house red (or white) wine, which is very good, comes in at a paltry €3 per bottle (compare that to a half-liter of inferior house red at Pizzeria Sorbillo - €9) and a liter of mineral water is just €1.50 (€1.50 for a half-liter at Sorbillo). Our bill came to just €28.50 for two courses, wine, and water (plus tip), a tremendous bargain and worth feeling a bit claustrophobic.

This is a great little spot off one of the main streets. It's small, so best to call ahead if you can. The food is beyond great, everything is fresh and huge portions! I would say to be careful with how many courses you order, because you won't be able to finish everything!!! appetizers are amazing, make sure to try buffalo mozzarella with tomatoes, can't go wrong with anything. I honestly forget everything else we ordered because it was all good. I forget the name of the pasta I had, it was in an orange sauce, very very yummy. Be sure to get a bottle of the house wine, great value for the price. Speaking of price, this was probably one of the best meals I had in Italy and it was really cheap (about 35 euro for two people). Highly recommend this place to anyone who visits Napoli. read more

This was the worst experience that we have had on our entire vacation. We chose this restaurant for the seafood pasta. We looked at the menu and it looked great. The owner unlocked the door and asked if we had a reservation. We said "no" and asked if it was ok if we shared 2-3 apps and 2-3 entrees plus a bottle of wine for 4 people. He said "of course. You will only pay for what you eat." Our waiter, the owners son, asked if we wanted a tasting appetizer of traditional Naples dishes. He talked very fast, explained little and told us that we had to hurry because another group was coming at 9:30. It was 8 when we arrived. The restaurant was very noisy, which was ok but the young waiter yelled the same appetizer instruction and time limitation to every table. The yelling was unnecessary and uncomfortable. We have never felt rushed during a meal in Italy before tonight but the speed with which the took the plates, usually with food still on them and the rushed, demanding service was aweful. The food came and it was clear that they brought an appetizer tasting to every person at the table. The food was plentiful but mostly fried and very salty. It was not tasty. Because of the rush and the vast quantity of fried appetizer, we wanted to leave. This clearly made our young waiter angry. When the bill came, we were charged 8 euro per person, per appetizer (we thought we were just getting one tasting plate) and 2 euro per person "coperto" which he said was for the knives, forks, glasses.... huh???? We have been eating all over Italy for a week and have never been charged for forks. To be clear, we had both Italian and English speakers in our group. This was not a language issue or misunderstanding. We were clearly bamboozled. I would give zero stars if it was possible and the only reason for two stars is that the wine was cheap and good and the bread was flavorful. What a terrible start to our time in Naples and so frustrating that we never got to experience the amazing seafood pasta that we originally went here for. (Which by the way cost 7-8 euro each for a huge plate.). Arg!!!!! read more

Once upon a time... we were walking down a narrow alley in Napoli dreaming of some good food. A man was standing outside a restaurant talking to us and begging us to at least come inside and see the kitchen. We know how this story normally ends... with disappointing food in an empty restaurant. But not this time!! The son (guy outside) took us to the back to meet the father who showed us all kinds of fresh ingredients in the kitchen. We were so far in, we figured we should just stay and eat and it was the best decision while in Napoli. Plate after plate the antipasti arrived... a mix of hot and cold, seafood and vegetables... and each dish was so delicious! Already full, we couldn't resist the idea of gnocchi and pasta, so we went full force ahead and it was AMAZING. I wish I could shove that in my face right now... delicious sauces, perfect texture... Unfortunately, we were too full to eat the secondi, but if it's anything like the other dishes, you should go for it. The owners were very friendly, chatting with us, posing for pictures, and explaining every dish. This ended up being the best meal we had AND the cheapest... go figure!! I will be back you crazy hunchback! read more

This place was so delicious and cute as well as fun! So happy we didn't give up the hunt and they let us in as their last guests @ 10:35 pm .. after a bit of a walk where we almost gave up a few times. Linguine clams perfecto.. the mussels with tomatoes and olive oil rocked. The gnocchi with tom & cheese sauce had us moaning :) The house wine was super great @ €3 a bottle !! read more

By far one if the most fabulous dining experiences we've had in Italy so far! It's a tiny restaurant located in a tiny alley right off Loredo in a great shopping district of Napoli (Naples). We waited for about 30 minutes but it was well worth it! We took the owner's suggestion of starting the Gobbetto appetizers and were blown away by the fabulous assortment served: sautéed chard, stuffed fried eggplant, fried polenta, fried anchovies, buffalo mozzarella and tomatoes and cold grilled zucchini salad. For our main course, we ordered sautéed calamari and veal in white wine sauce. Along with a small carafe each of house wine, the total meal cost 36.50 Euro. The service was great and the atmosphere absolutely charming and quaint. read more

Fantastic! Make reservation. We got lucky and they seated us. Antipasto was great, had about 8 small plates to try! First dish was pasta with tomatoes and ricotta and delicious. Second dish was grilled steak with tomatoes and cheese. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. The owner danced with both women with me and was awesome! Will deff go back! read more

WORST experience in Naples. Ordered buffalo mozzarella appetizer and the tomatoes were not fresh, tasted almost bad so we didn't eat them. Also got too pastas which were both so salty it was literally impossible to eat; we tasted nothing besides salt. The waiter was rude and when we said we can't eat the pastas he said the problem is us because everyone else likes the food just fine. Did not want to remake the pasta or take it off the check even though we literally had one bite from each plate. We came due to good reviews and I just can't imagine how people can rate this food high when it doesn't taste fresh and the only seasoning they seem to use is salt. Don't eat here. read more

Great food, loved the restaurant. Although he (the son) was pushy at the end about being tipped and clearly knew we were tourists. He also tried getting us to do the appetizers. I don't think he implied they were free (per the other reviews), they were more of a strong suggestion without implying what they cost, etc. The table next to me got the apps and they looked good. Overall the meal was very delicious and affordable, so I doubt the appetizers could be that expensive. Last, per the other review, the bottle of wine was 4 euros which we ordered, so I doubt the 2 glasses of wine purchased separately were a better deal than buying the full bottle. read more

We were walking in the Chiaia neighborhood, and wanted to have pasta for dinner. Found this on Yelp. Fortunately, we reached the restaurant just after 7pm, and there were plenty of empty tables. The restaurant filled up fast as we neared 8pm. The calamari was very good, not too much batter and cooked just right. Not chewy, and fresh. I loved the seafood pasta that was recommended, with mussels, prawn, Cray fish and small clams. My wife ordered the linguine with mussels. There was a bit too much cheese in her dish that seem to over power the dish. Great value, great food, very friendly and attentive service. Much better menu offeringsbm than those near the tourist areas. Lots of locals seem to frequent the place too, which is always a good sign for tourists. read more

Only a short walk from the cruise terminal. If you are looking for a quiet romantic restaurant this is not the place. If you want a lively place that serves great food for a reasonable price you won't be disappointed. We had antipastos, pastas, seafood and of course wine. We where not disappointed. Easy to find if you use a app. This is a family owned place and their pride shows. read more

Went on a whim for the restaurant views. The waiter explained the meal and quoted $16 for meal we were not hungry but wanted good pasta. We received the bill and was charged an additional $35 for something we didn't order but explained by the waiter it came with the special. Due to language barriers, understand what you want and are paying for. read more

Fantastic food and atmosphere! The "father" danced with a patron-- including twirls and dips-- in the middle of the tiny restaurant while the servers did their best to work around them; made for a very memorable experience.

Really good pasta with seafood and it's quite cheap. The waiter spoke English (which helped a lot) and was friendly. It also wasn't packed full of people unlike Trattoria de Nennella. read more

The low proces at this mainly seafood spot make up for any culinary failures. Ordered the fritti dei gamberi e polpette which came in a fresh bed of arugula and was quite respectable. The side of mushrooms sermed to me of the resuscitated canned variety but the house red was a hit. Best part was getting out in under 14 Euro. Not a bad place for a quick bite.! read more

Started with a bottle of red wine (3€), the caprese salad (6€), and the calamari and shrimp (6€ I think). Caprese salad was to die for, calamari was decent and the shrimp presentation prevented me from trying any (eyeballs and all). Next course my boyfriend had the linguini with clams, tasteful sauce with a good amount of clams and delicious tomatoes(7€). I had the gnocchi with zucchini, deliciously cooked to perfection(6€). Although I thought his was a better price. Both competed at the same level in flavor. My favorite part of Naples was eating here. Only con I would say was our waitress seemed a bit perturbed every time she came by, whereas another waiter was lively making suggestions and joking with other tables! Want a great deal, great food, and quick service? Il gobbetto is the place to go. read more
