Did you know Naples is home of the pizza? Wherever you are in the city, you are not too far from an oven, crackling wood and an amazing aroma of freshly baked pizza. The city takes this food SO seriously that in 2004, the ministry of agriculture issued regulations outlining how a real Neapolitan pizza should be made! Now those are some SERIOUS pizza lovers! See our list below for the yummies places to grab a pie (as well as some other dishes to fancy) as you stroll this amazing city and take in all it has to offer.

Chiaia Area

Trattoria Da Ettore (Via Santa Lucia 56): simple Neapolitan food; great pizza and amazing fried appetizers. Many seafood based pasta dishes like spaghetti with clam sauce are a must to try!

Ristorante Umberto (Via Alabarieri 30): Varied menu in a cozy setting, located in the heart of Chiaia. After dinner, nearby lounges and cocktail bars help to elongate the Italian evening.

Da Dora (Via Ferdinando Palasciano 28): Bustling , popular and TINY! For fish, Dora routinely gets top honors from Chowhound devotees.

Radici (Via Riviera di Chiaia 68): Italian foodie expert, Gambero Rosso, labels Radici “modern and innovative but with Neapolitan soul”. The expansive menu spans both seafood and meat dishes, adhering to Slow Food principles.

L’Ebbrezza Di Noe (Vicolo Vetriera 80100): a trendy little spot with an extensive wine list from the Campania region of Italy.

Spaccanapoli/Port Area

Antica Osteria Pisano (Piazzetta Crocelle ai Mannesi 1): one could feast on the house appetizers alone- and with delectable Neapolitan delicacies like fried eggplants stuffed with provolone cheese and prosciutto, octopus salad, marinated anchovies and roasted friarelli peppers, who has room for pasta?

Pizzeria Friggitoria I Decumani (Via Tribunali 58,60,61): one of the world’s BEST spots for pizza; the sphere of fresh mozzarella di buffalo that crowns every pie is pure heaven. Excellent location on bustling via dei Tribunali.

La Chiaccierata (Piazzetta Matilde Serao 37): La Chiaccierata, literally the chatterbox, is a reference to the cook/owner who serves up fresh daily specials based on local seasonal ingredients. Try simple staples like pesci del golfo or polipetti affogati.
