This was a great meal! My husband and I shared an appetizer. I got the cod fish gnocchi which was…read moreso yummy! I liked our meal and had a good time. We went on a Wednesday and were confused as to why only a few tables were full and mainly tourists but, it may be because it was during the week.

Our waiter knew just enough English and we knew just enough Spanish/ Italian to get by. The menu here is QR code, but there is little cell reception there for our internet to work. Overall the food was delicious. This penne was so cheesy and tomatoey. The mussels were cooked in a simple salt and pepper broth really allowing their natural flavors to pop. Both the mussels and the lemons were from the Almafi coast!

Its location near the amphitheater entrance of the Pompeii Archeological Park makes it very easy to find. The food was fantastic, the pasta was perfect. The service was absolutely top-notch as well. I highly recommend this restaurant for a casual evening with friends, or a quiet evening with a date.

The doors opened unexpectedly and Franco Pepe poked out his head and shouted out "Buenaserra!". Before they started calling out the reservations, a large wedding party was ushered in for a reception! It was an unexpected surprise that only added to the joy of eating at this establishment for the first time. Fried appetizers are common at Naples' pizzerias. They were uniformly good everywhere but these were the best we had on the trip ROCCO: Cone with 12-month Grana Padano DOP fondue, pecorino cheese,Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP tomatoes, dried Casertano pork sausage, chili pepper, pecorino chips, basil. CIRO: Cone with 12-monthGrana Padano DOP fondue, rocket pesto, dehydrated Caiazzo black olives. As a side note, most pizzerias did not have any salads or vegetable sides. Now for the pizzas. PORKASERTA: San Marzano tomatoes, fiordilatte cheese, smoked scamorza cheese, dried Casertano pork sausage, oregano and EVOO. This is the pizza that will haunt my dreams. The aroma of the pizza was indescribably porky, and the flavor was the most porky thing I've ever eaten. The "dried sausage" had wonderfully soft fat, and the slices were a little less than a ¼" thick. MARGHERITA SBAGLIATA: Campana DOP Buffalo mozzarella cheese, purée of "riccio" tomatoes, basil reduction, EVOO. This is the pizza that Franco Pepe is known for. It was good and I'm glad we tried it, but I did not find it to be a major improvement over a normal Margherita. LA PICCANTE: Fiordilatte cheese, San Marzano tomato, spicy salami, oregano and EVOO. This was my second favorite pizza that we tried here. RICOTTA E PISTACCHIO: Cheesecake al pistacchio della pasticceria Pepe. It was the perfect way to end the meal. The waiters at most of the pizzerias we visited were extremely knowledgeable about the technical aspects of pizza. I found out that they use a custom flour, the dough ball weight is 281 grams and the bake time is about 2 minutes (which I verified by watching their kitchen cam TV on the dining room wall). The pizzas all had more cheese than I was expecting. The crust was extremely light and it was not salty like Da Michele. I'd estimate it to be under 3%. They do use a bit of old dough as part of their fermentation process. Getting to meet Franco Pepe was the cherry on top. He's not a schmoozer, but he did briefly visit all the dining areas. This was our overall favorite pizzeria we visited and it's very possibly the best Neapolitan pizza in the world.

Continues to be the go-to pizza lover spot. Can't say enough of the memories created here.read more

We were recommended this restaurant by a local shop vendor who was not intrested in selling us touristy items but was intrested in us having an authentic experience. The pasta was excellent as could be expected for this region the portions were much healthier than in other restaurants we had recently eaten in. Bread was served to the table without us being charged for it like we were finding in some of the other more touristy locations. We got to the restaurant earlier than their opening time by about 30 minutes and they were accommodating enough to open up, allowing us to sit down and start serving us even though they had not officially opened this was a much different experience than we found and other restaurants who refuse to open their doors before official opening time. Because this is the famous pottery district all of their dinner plates were customized with the restaurant name which added to the experience in a positive way.
