Antica Taverna a Chiaia In Napoli

02/02/2025: Everything is exceptional, you deserve a lot of luck, during the week for lunch it's the best

02/02/2025: Exquisite food, of excellent quality and very abundant for both the land menu and the seafood menu. The environment is nice, nice and welcoming. Unfortunately we can't praise the service too much, we went for lunch on a Sunday, arrived punctually at 1pm sharp as requested when I booked and practically had to eat at the speed of light because they continued to serve us at supersonic speed. Consider that my friend was still eating the starters and she had already been served the first one, so she had to give up finishing the starters otherwise the other dish would have gotten cold. I had booked for 5 (4 adults and 1 child with high chair) but they gave us a table for 4 and my husband and daughter had to share one side of the table as they were both cramped and uncomfortable. We also requested a larger table but the place was sold out and so that was the only possible solution. We brought our cake because we were celebrating a birthday and they cut us a slice less, the little girl hadn't really been considered, nor were we even asked if the little girl liked the dessert. All in a very, very hurry: dessert, coffee and bill all together. I understand the policy of doing two shifts (1 at 1pm and 1 at 3pm) but I advise the staff to ask those booking the first shift to arrive at 12.30pm and not at 1pm so as to allow them to have lunch in peace without anxiety and without having to gorge. Sunday lunch is also conviviality, already during the week we eat quickly caught up in the accelerated pace of our lives. We will certainly return because we really appreciated the quality of the food, but never again on a Sunday.
