Blu Restaurant In

04/10/2025: Takes AMEX and has a seat in the bathroom. What more could matter to an American tourist? It is just next to the Hop on Hop Off bus stop number 10, so you hardly have to work for your meal. One of the Naples specialties is Pasta Genovese--a delicately sauteed onion and meat sauce that pre-dates tomatoes in Italian cooking. I tried that and found a new favorite dish with its slow roasted onion and meat sauce. The meat and onions were basically disintegrated into the ziti pasta, and they had added chunks of pork shoulder to give a meatier punch. My dining partner had mussels (cozze) in sauce and did the keto meal (although the sourdough bread was used to wipe up the sauce). The owner / server was quite limited with his conversational English and was helped out with his son? who looked over from playing video games with his buddy when I tried to invite them to the World Cup in the US. They praised my attempts at Italian responses and even the neighbors two tables over were there to help me with my conjugations. Hardly 20 seats in the place and not sure I would want to go there with more than 6 people as the kitchen is probably tiny.
