Caffè Imperiale In Boscoreale

29/06/2025: Great food, visited both in winter and summer. For this last season the service was really slow but in their defense the seats were triple so it is obvious that it slows down. Anyway it is always worth going and if necessary even waiting. Highly recommended

28/06/2025: We came without a reservation and got a seat. The waiter insisted on letting us sit under the plastic pavilion, but we wanted a table inside. And it paid off because the atmosphere is very lovely and we wanted to experience the typical Italian flair. An senior gentleman was opening mussels (probably 40 kg) and we saw the cooking going on. The staff were authentic. We had a small bottle of house wine and mineral to drink. For appetizers we had octopus (Polpo all insalata in barchette) with olives and tomatoes and melanzani with olives. Both were very delicious, the olives were a little too salty for our taste. For the first course I had ordered linguine con scampi, but I think I got spaghetti ai frutti di mare. It was still superb, and the sauce was very delicious. I even got extra bread at the end for the last of the sauce (“scarpetta”). Delicious. The second dish was frutti di gamberi e calamari, also excellent. Unfortunately, the courses came a little too quickly one after the other, so we had a lot of plates at the table. So far the best meal in Naples, highly recommended, if only because of the authentic staff and guests.
