18/12/2025: We loved this place so much that we went for lunch everyday we were in Napoli. Not only was the food delicious and well priced but the people that run this place were fun, kind and clearly love what they do. The atmosphere was authentic and filled with friendly locals.
Whenever we’re fortunate enough to find ourselves back in Napoli, Trattoria Romano Gaetano will be our first stop. Grazie mille.
06/12/2025: Visited December 3, 4, and 5, 2025, for lunch with two people.
We left a piece of our hearts there, as they say in Naples. We had lunch there three days in a row, which speaks volumes about the quality and deliciousness of the food. But above all, what really struck us was the warm, homey atmosphere. From the very first day, we began to fraternize with the neighborhood residents who regularly frequent this restaurant. I'd like to thank Gaetano, Aniello, and their family and wish them all the best, because it's a memory of Naples that we'll always carry with us.
The restaurant, right in front of the Salvator Rosa metro station, is very popular, and since they don't accept reservations, you'll have to wait in line for a coveted table. Believe me, it's worth the wait because the food, and as mentioned, the welcome, are worth it. Homemade cuisine based on the market and Neapolitan classics, including an amazing Genovese, are served on a regular basis.
Open only for lunch.
Highly recommended.
