Tiramisu
lauren h.

If you're staying in Naples for even a night, YOU HAVE TO EAT HERE. We stayed in Naples for 3 nights and were not impressed with the food until this night. Signora Bettola is an adorable, homey restaurant with mostly locals. We ordered the bruschetta as a starter which was tasty and then the eggplant Parmesan to share. It was by far the highlight of our meal and we had to order a second one after only a few bites. The pasta I had seen online wasn't available that day so I opted for something that they recommended to be similar. However, it was a different taste than I was looking for, though it could've gotten lost in translation and misunderstood! The tiramisu was also super delicious and came out with a unique presentation. Can't recommend this place enough for the eggplant parm alone!

Literally stayed at the hotel next door and the grocery store was to close so it was decision to eat, rush or go to grocery and come back. Well no one was here when we went by the restaurant( no one we were the first). Rushed and left the grocery store as they were closing and came back to the restaurant and there was a long line. I could not believe it. I know it has to be really good if there is a long line. We were told 45 min so we went and put our groceries up and came back and still waited but it wasn't an unbearable wait. The weather was nice outdoors so it wasn't bad. We finally came inside and it was just the cutest theme. If you spent time in Naples and visited different islands you will get the decor. The hostess was nice. Unfortunately the waiter we had was I believe tired or overwhelmed. Felt rushed vs another waited near and was friendly with the patrons. One of my friends speaks Italian so as soon as she did.that helped. I asked what was good and it was the eggplant pasta. I wanted pistachio for dessert but they ran out. But whatever he recommended was really good. The wine was good as well. I would definitely be back next season and if you ever come please come early and do not wait.

octopus salad / homemade pasta with clams n muscles !

Ottimo posto .. si manga bene qui ! il servizio, il cibo e atmosfera sono grande.. Wonderful little trattoria near elegant Chiaia , Napoli

Fried squid and fish

Some of the best food i've ever had in my life, particularly the pasta dish! The bruschetta was also stellar.

Great food, service really good. Nice decor, a little small but has a very nice cozy ambiance/feel. Bruschetta 100% recommend.

Meatballs

Casual unassuming restaurant that has Fantastic food. Meatball with pine nuts inside were fantastic. House wine very reasonable. If you get there after 7 you will likely need a reservation. Pasta Genovese was awesome. Would definitely recommend.

Delicious and cute place. Laundry decor hanging from the ceiling makes you feel like you're having a home cooked meal in the yard. We were sad they were sold out of several items that had caught our eye, but not disappointed in our orders: muscles, grilled peppers, escarole, pasta with crab, pasta with the catch of the day and spaghetti with olive oil and zucchini. All very fresh and tasty. We tried to resist but could not pass up sharing a delightful baba to cap things off.

Single-handedly the best food I've had in my entire life. The flavors of each meal I've eaten have been incredibly decadent. The courgette pasta and the tiramisu are to die for!! The service is quick, everyone is so friendly, and the decor is authentic and beautiful. Signora bettola best believe I will be back!

Fried assorted seafood (shrimp, baby octopus, fish)
Joseph T.

We stumbled upon this spot at random, and were glad that we did! We showed up around noon on a weekday, and while it was empty when we arrived, it filled up quickly with folks who were there for work lunches--besides our table, everyone else was dressed in business attire. There were no other tourists, and only one of the small handful of employees spoke any English. Setting: 5/5 It was in an alleyway rather close to the water, but far enough that tourists didn't stop by. The interior was quiet, comfortable, and well decorated with tomatoes, peppers, and packages of pasta hanging on display and with a fairly clean restroom in the back. (We guessed that some of these were actually real, since who would buy fake tomatoes for decoration if they are wrinkly and drying?) Food: 5/5 Among the things we ordered were an appetizer of fried assorted seafood (with shrimp, baby octopus, and fish), an octopus salad, seafood risotto, a ragu pasta dish, and a grilled squid. The fried seafood was solid. Well fried, but not overly cooked. The baby octopus was similar to chipiron in Spain, which I greatly enjoyed. The octopus salad was absolutely delicious. The octopus was fresh and perfectly cooked, giving the meat a great texture and sweetness. The seafood risotto was fantastic as well, cooked in a well-made seafood broth and with plenty of shrimp, mussels, and at least three kinds of clams. The ragu dish was a miss. While the pasta was made well, the sauce was overly salty (though we realized that was often the case in Italy.) Overall, this dish was nothing special. Our favorite dish was the grilled squid. The squid was incredibly fresh, and as such, had a great, sweet natural flavor to it, which we in the States aren't used to, since almost all of the squid we have access to is frozen. The squid was grilled well, and the combination of the sweetness from the squid and the char from the grill was absolutely phenomenal. (We also ordered two of their daily lunch specials, which came with a pasta dish, a main dish, and a drink. For the most part, this was nothing special.) Service: 4/5 At first they were very slow to wait on our table. It took a bit of an effort to flag down a waiter for water and to give our orders. I'm not sure if this was because of the language barrier, because we were foreigners, or because we showed up before the lunch rush. Eventually, they became more attentive, and by the end of the meal, the one English-speaking waiter became very friendly with us. All in all, this was low-key one of our better meals in Italy. Glad we stumbled upon this place!

As a tourist, we did stumble upon this little restaurant. It was cute and intimate. The staff was friendly and food good.

I haven't had a server more rude than this in a long time…read more We arrived when the restaurant was full, so we waited at the door. No acknowledgement of any kind by the server, who was a lady walking around inside. She was the only server, but there are only 9 or so tables in the small space so she definitely saw us since she walked by to various tables. When a table left, the bus boy cleaned it and motioned us to sit. Once we were ready to order, we waited. ...and waited, and waited. So we raised our hand for a few minutes straight, while the lady continued to walk to other tables and ignore us for some reason. Then the table next to us got a new party. Finally, the bus boy saw our raised hand came over, and I asked him to call the lady over. He did, we saw. And then she proceeded to take the order of the table next to us, who sat down more than 10 minutes after we did. They even looked at us apologetically. Finally, after putting in that table's order, she came to us. So she clearly knew we were waiting. I don't understand why she was somehow prejudiced to ignore us, but I was about to just leave. And maybe I should have - the pizza honestly wasn't that great. My pizza had mushrooms were canned and flavorless, and chewy thick dough that I didn't end up finishing. We also had a variation of diavola that came with eggplant, and it was slightly better but still nowhere near as flavorful as other spots we tried in Naples. Don't bother coming here. There are so many other spots with better food and service.

Meh, it's pretty good. Stopped by because it was close to our Airbnb and came highly recommended by…read moreour host. It was pretty packed inside but takeaway service was fast and friendly. The pizza was good but didn't really blow me away. We got the margherita and a two other pizzas which I can't remember the name of. The crust wasn't as chewy or stretchy as I imagined it would be. The edges weren't crispy or very thick like I expected either. There's certain things I expect to see in Neapolitan pizza which I just wasn't getting from Pavia. I got pizza elsewhere in Naples the next day and noticed the crust was much different and had singed crust by the wood fired oven. Pavia is OK but I've honestly had similar pizza back in the states. It's a good option if you're nearby but you may find something better if you look a little further.

It's the real deal!! He makes the art of pizza making look so effortless. A true pizza professional! On the advice of our local tour guide, we started with the Potato Croquette appetizer. The filling is a delicious smoked provola cheese from the mountains. I wish I had taken a picture of it, but the camera didn't eat first. The order comes with 2 large croquettes for sharing. Absolutely delicious! After that, we ordered our pizzas. I selected the Pizza Frittta Completa, and he went with the Come Una Capricciosa. We figured it would be a small portion based on the price. We were wrong. Especially the stuffed and fried pizza. I could have easily shared that one. I've never had anything like it. The filling was an explosion of different flavors. The fried dough was light as air. It's so unique! My husband's pizza was just as fantastic. I didn't get to try it, but he kept commenting on the light crust & freshness of the hand crushed tomatoes and provola cheese. He consumed all of it. Honestly, everything was delicious! This place has changed my view of Neapolitan pizza. I've never been a fan of soggy middles, but this was different. The service was actually very good here. We were able to somehow communicate between our very broken Italian, and their better than average English. The menus are in Italian but you can pull up the english version using the QR code at the table. There are desserts, but we didn't get to try them. There is indoor and covered outdoor seating. This place was packed with local clientele after 1pm. It's very popular. Don't skip it when near Piazza del Plebiscito. I'm still craving that delicious Pizza Fritta.

We had to wait 45 minutes to get into this restaurant, and another 30 minutes for the pizza to be…read moregiven to us, but I have to say it was worth it I ordered the basic Margherita Pizza here - and it was really cheap - around 5.5 euros This pizza was amazingly good The first thing I have to mention was how incredibly fresh the tomatoes were. I haven't eaten tomatoes this good on a pizza before, they felt super authentic and local The crust wasn't as airy as another place I've been, but it was still quite soft and pleasurable to eat. The bottom of the crust, though, was unparalleled. It was so unbelievably soft, and didn't even feel like you were eating pizza. A lot of the pizza I've eaten in the past has included this hard bottom curst that's noticeable, but this bottom crust just floated through each bite like butter. Holding up a slice was so floppy The cheese was also fantastic - I do wish there was slightly more of it - but it was still amazingly good I tried a bit of a vegan pizza that someone at my table ordered - and my god that was astoundingly good - even better than the margherita I had. If I was here again I would definitely order the pizza that had white sauce rather than tomato sauce - because even though the tomatoes were really good, I think I just prefer the alfredo-style sauce on pizza.

If you're in the historic district in Naples, depending on who and how you ask, you may get pointed…read morein different directions to Sorbillo's. Why? Multiplie locations exist, six in Naples, three on the same street! At first I wondered if it was a "Ray's Pizza" situation* though turns out they are all legitimately related, arising from the success of the pizzeria opened in by Gino Sorbillo. Aside from Naples they have locations in several other Italian cities (Rome, Milan, Bergamo, Turin, Bologna, Padua, and Genoa), even a location on Tokyo. This specific location where the pin is dropped on the Yelp map is for Gino e Tito Sorbillo, eponymously named for the now famous pizza chef and his brother, and the nicer sit-down version of the restaurant.** This is the original shop where it all began, and the business' historical headquarters. Outside, you'll see a couple paper cutouts of the chef, with a chef's coat and a smile. The unwavering popularity of their pizza is undeniable--one look at the crowds outside this storefront and it's immediately apparent. Be prepared as the wait is not for the faint-hearted or the extremely hungry. Luckily I had a snack before arriving (see separate review for Sfogliatelle Mary). 9:05pm: I arrived to a semi-circular crowd centered around the doorway of Gino e Tito Sorbillo. Headed up the hostess stand and she said 20-25 minutes so I figured why not. 9:30pm: the crowd around the door seems to have increased, at least stayed the same, a handful of parties were called up. I realize now that the hostess gives everyone the same estimate. Watching many parties that were there when I arrived--they are still waiting too. 9:50pm: I'm considering leaving at this point since there's significant second-hand smoke from multiple people smoking outside, though the crowd of people in front of the restaurant is going strong. 10:00pm: I go up to the stand and ask how much longer the wait will be, she says "oh you're a single diner right? I forgot, let me check." 10:05pm: she calls my name and ushers me inside. I'm seated at bar table seating at a window which works for me. Staff is quick to pass a menu, and take an order. 10:20pm the wait for the pizza after ordering was faster than expected. It only took about 7-8 minutes. Getting to the pizza--if you look up the definition of a Neapolitan style pizza, this is it! Served straight outta the oven as an entire pie, extremely thin, saucy in the middle, floppy base though evenly leopard-spotted on the bottom and the crust, pillowy and airy crust with a slightly crisp exterior. The tomato sauce was very fresh, and I loved the varying texture of the dough, great baked/slightly charred flavor. I got the Antonio which included regionally sourced cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies, basil. While I love both ingredients, the fish and capers together unfortunately were way too salty, I had to pick off some of these. Also I have to say as the pizza cooled, the room temp saucy dough wasn't quite as appealing as when it was hot. lol so if you consume it quickly it'll be fine! The serving size was also very generous, see pic with my hand next to the pie, I couldn't finish it in the end! Staff was quite friendly overall and I appreciated that they didn't pack the house or rush diners inside even with so many people waiting. That being said it was still pretty busy so you'll have to flag them down. After the meal, bring your bill up to the register to pay. *if you're familiar with NYC you'll know there are about 20 different Ray's Pizzas all claiming to be the original, which one is real? no one knows... **The other two locations on the same street are more casual, one is a takeout spot probably to handle the overflow from the main restaurant.

Quintessential tourist trap…read more Great location, mediocre service, and the food is just fine. It's very touristy and that explains everything. I was surprised by the aggressive nature of their tipping solicitation. I asked and looked up common tipping practices before we came. I always want to be a good tourist. Our server dropped the check and immediately proclaimed that doesn't include tip, even though there was a service fee. You don't write the tip in either. You have to tell the waiter. I was really caught off guard. The bill was 75 euro, so I said 15 euro. Thats 20% of the entire bill including taxes and other charges. Thats how I tip back home. He said, "19 euros." Lol! So, not only do you tip on top of a tip, they demand more. I accommodated because 4 euros won't kill me, it's not worth the hassle, and I'm not going to let it affect my families enjoyment of this beautiful place. Kind of a gross situation though.
