'A Marenna 'e Mamma In Pozzuoli

A very charming little restaurant located right between the center and the port of Pozzuoli. Its simple setting evokes typical Neapolitan moments and phrases from everyday life, and the owner is helpful and polite. A highlight is the gluten-free menu, identical to the regular menu. Worth considering if you're in the area.

There are places that can't be described with words alone, but rather make you relive memories, emotions, and flavors you thought were lost. For me, 'A marenna 'e Mamma' is one of those places. Indeed, it's the place where Neapolitan tradition comes back to life, even in a gluten-free version. As soon as you walk in the door, you realize that everything here is made with love. Nothing is artificial; there's true passion, the kind you feel in the gestures and in the smells wafting from the kitchen, that aroma that takes you back in time to family Sundays. We start with the appetizers, and right there you know you're in the right place. The savory pizzas, the rustici, the fried pizza, the arancini, the gattò, and so many other delights that taste like home. But the moment when everything stops is when the genovese arrives (this is just one of the options on the menu). Tradition in its purest form. And then the meatballs and the pork chop (another option on the menu), capable of bringing back a distant memory and making you say, "Here it is, this is the flavor I was looking for." Behind every dish are Veronica's expert hands, hands that cook as if they were preparing lunch for their own family. And then there's Peppe, who welcomes you like a long-awaited friend. He pampers you, tells you stories, makes you feel part of a big family. And just when you think you can't ask for more, dessert arrives: the Bounty spoon cake. An explosion of flavor, and it's there that you realize there's always room for happiness. The place is a little gem, every detail speaks of Naples and its history. But the truth is that A marenna 'e Mamma' is more than just a trattoria. It's a journey into the heart of tradition. It's an experience made of memories of lost flavors, of the typical Neapolitan cuisine that represents our identity. I found all of this here. And it's not easy to explain: you have to experience it, sit at the table, and let yourself be moved. See you next time, guys. Because when passion is this true, it's never forgotten; in fact, it invites you back.

A welcoming and very fun place with a fun decor. The innkeepers are wonderful and family-run, including Peppe, who is incredibly friendly and kind. Excellent, high-quality, flavorful dishes. A la carte menu available, as well as excellent fixed-menu options, including gluten-free options.
