Came here for lunch, was pretty busy, ended up with a 30min wait which isn't bad since lots to see in the area. Space inside is small and has a nice decor. They serve you a small plate of room temperature bread and they have olive oils on tables. I ended up ordering the beef with onions pasta. Overall pretty good but not amazing. Waiters were all friendly. read more

La Locanda Gesù Vecchio - Pasta with meat and onions - Napoletana Near Me - Naples, NA

This pasta was incredible, one of my favorites of what I've eaten so far in Italy. The egg adds the perfect touch of texture to the spaghetti and the pepper perfectly balances the creaminess of the Parmesan cheese. Be sure to make reservations ahead of time because it's rare to get a spot with walk-ins! The servers were also humorous and though the space was a bit crowded, it was well put together. read more

Oh my gosh, absolutely delicious place. My boyfriend and I tried getting a spot at this restaurant for our 4 year anniversary, but they were fully booked. Fortunately, we managed to get a late reservation for 5 (with some friends) late Sunday at 9:30PM. Highly, highly recommend!! We started with some apps and sides - the eggplant parmigiana (absolutely heavenly and rich; I swear it had some meat in it), a paccheri ripieni e fritti (a pasta main but we got to share - it was amazingly crispy and flavourful with the cheese and the ragu), scarole (a very interesting bitter green dish with sweet raisins and savoury capers, olives), and fagiolini (we thought it was a bean dish but it ended up being lemony string beans). We then each got our own pastas, and were each blown away. I got the baccala in cassuola, a salty pasta rule with tender codfish, olives, and capers, and shared with my boyfriend. He got the ziti alla genovese, which had a decent amount of brisket. Despite being lighter, it was quite meaty and still packed good flavour. We also tried the tripe - I found it okay, but it had a stronger offal flavour than the Chinese counterparts - and the penne lardiate blanche - which seemed similar to the cacio e pepe but had a depth of flavour from the lard. Finally, we ended with three desserts. My favourite was the tiramisu - chefs kiss! It was creamy, coffee-y, but also not too sweet. The torta caprese (pistachio chocolate cake) was nutty but a bit too sweet for my liking. Then we got the pastiera, an almond ricotta cake with shortcrust pastry. It had a strong floral flavour - we thought it was rosewater, but turns out it's orange blossom. An absolutely fantastic meal, and such good value for money!! We got a house wine, and for all that food, we only paid 137 EUR. read more

Another good restaurant in Naples; Not as good as di Ettore but a solid address. There are two locations on the same street which by the way is very difficult to get to by car. The place was packed but the service was friendly and prompt. We ordered what they had suggested in the New York times article namely the crispy fried paccheri -- a locally made noodle -- which is stuffed with a combination of tomato sauce, beef, pork, raisins, pine nuts and mozzarella. It was good but the pasta was a little hard( maybe over fried. The pasta with tomato sauce was very good and the portion enormous. The meatballs were tasty too. We were so stuffed that there was no room for desert even if they looked really good. This was a good meal and I certainly would come back if travelling again to this part of Italy read more

Made reservations for 7pm dinner. It is a small restaurant, so reservations are a must. Started with the mixed fried app (potato croquette, rice ball, and fried pasta) and a biancosarti spritz. The potato one was our least favorite - middle was a little cold - but loved the other 2. The app was much bigger than expected. For pastas, we went with the ragu stuffed paccheri and cheesy mixed pasta with potato since those are very unique and I had never seen before (though I wish I could have had enough room to try the genovese also!). Both pastas were great - the ragu paccheri was delicious and the cheese potato pasta was like a super creamy Italian version of mac and cheese (quite a large serving). We had the meatballs as well - they were melt in your mouth good, and even had raisins which actually worked. Even the lemony green beans were tasty - they took the time to remove the stringy bits off the beans. We were too full for dessert! Service was great and enjoyed the atmosphere. They keep wine on a tall shelf all around the restaurant, so they kept grabbing bottles with a long grabbing tool. I hope no bottles have ever fallen on the guests! read more

This place is a little gem. The food is absolutely fantastic. We shared the grilled vegetable salad which was grilled zucchini and mozzarella had two different pastas, and then tiramisu for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious. And the tiramisu..... no words. Best I have had on this trip. Service was great. Prices very reasonable. We sat outside which was pleasant even with the scooters and cars going by inches away. Fantastic evening and would highly recommend. read more

Oh the owner is delightful. The atmosphere is nice. The food is so delicious I've been twice. A Napoli !

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Yes I know it's a Michelin star however, it's more than that. It's like being in your Nonna's kitchen or Sunday dinner. Everything is authentic. There are no meals or dishes that are not part of Naples traditional cuisine when we arrived, we did not have a reservation and both locations were completely booked. However we held out and someone did not show up. Lucky us. The host was so accommodating and really truly try to get us as well as a few other people in even though we didn't have a reservation. Many many many people got turned away throughout the night and understandably so this food is fantastic. We had our espresso and we're about to leave when we decided to get the meatballs, probably our best decision of the night, if you know, Napoli, you know that the food truly does have raisins and pignoli nuts in everything. I can't thank the staff enough for having us, teaching us, and laughing with us. Francesco, Ciro and Marcella were all amazing. Make note: you do need a reservation but you can get lucky without one. Also, there are two seatings: 7 and 9:30 so don't bother trying in between those times. read more

Excellent restaurant. You need a reservation as many people are aware of this culinary place. The service is exquisite, the focus on details and customer service is outstanding. The menu options are delightful and expansive accommodating a variety of tastes. A true culinary temple in Napoli. read more

Salvatore took great care of us. We ordered the tagliatelle with sausage and mushrooms, the meatball appetizer, salad and bacala with a bottle of Agnilico red wine. Excellent atmosphere, food and service! read more

The Ziti de Genovese were in fact delicious... but I also ordered the pork steak with vegetables and it was server undercooked. SEVERELY undercooked. This is pork - it's dangerous! Sent it back to cook again without any issues, but it was still slightly pink when it came back. I ate the better cooked areas and left the rest behind. Unsure how this is a Michellin restaurant. read more

We tried to get reservations multiple times even asking our hotel to try if they can try. Unfortunately no reservations were available so we decided to try our luck and just show up and ask. They were able to sit us after a short wait (party of 3)! Everything was great! The kind waiter even humored us Americans trying to use our Italian words after everything was said the drinks and food came out and were so delicious! Overall great experience, will definitely try again if we're in the area. read more

What a wonderful intimate place. Calming, inspiring good conversation and some time off the grid. Every bit of food was spot on, delicious. Mhhhh the Parmigiana di melanzane put even our veggie-sceptic son to his knees. Everything was as understated as it was remarkable. Thank you! The Aglianico house wine - really good, and excellent value, as was everything else. This is also a celiac's paradise, with a separate section of all the gluten-free dishes on their menu. So conscientious ... and delicious! Be there right at the opening minute or book ahead a couple of days... would love to be back, one day, back in Napoli. read more

Found this place in a small street. We were lucky to be seated as some people didn't show up. The fried pork dish was divine. The place was cheaply priced. We had wine, appetizer, a pasta and desert all for 24euros each. I would come back again. read more

I will fill this in more later but had to immediately give this place 5 stars because the fact that it is currently a 3.5 on Yelp is a travesty. read more

Very disappointed. A Michelin rated restaurant? I don't think so. The food was ok, the owner was arrogant and the service was sub-par. The owner made it clear that reservations were for a 90 minute window, which would be fine if the food came out promptly. We arrived at 8pm and had pre-ordered starters as we were a group of 14. Upon arrival, the owner said he couldn't remember what I had pre-ordered and I needed to order again. While waiting for the starters to arrive we ordered the first and second courses. The starters came out about 15 minutes later (8:20). Then we waited for our first and second courses, which came out together at 9:10! Remember where I said we had to be out in 90 minutes. We were rushed to finish and then asked to leave. Three people never received their second course and were told they never ordered it. Why would someone not order their dinner? The owner was the one taking orders and was rude and non-apologetic - he just wanted us to leave so he could reseat the table. All in all, this was the worst experience and meal we had during the entire week we spent in Italy. It was not bad food, it just was not at the same level as the other meals. read more
