El cucinero In Torre del greco

We went to this restaurant last night and were thrilled. The food was simply extraordinary: top-quality ingredients, expertly cooked dishes, a spectacular paella, and a remarkable presentation. Excellent attention and maximum availability for two celiac guests who were present. The service deserves a special mention: the staff is extremely welcoming, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail, without ever being intrusive. The wait times between courses were perfect. We'll definitely be back!

• Service: We visited this restaurant for Mother's Day. For the occasion, they offered a full menu for €30, including various appetizers, two first courses, a main course with side dish, dessert, service charge, water, and a bottle of wine. The waiters were friendly and very prompt; however, due to the extensive menu, the wait was extremely long (we were seated at 1:50 PM and the main course wasn't served until 5:15 PM). Overall, however, the service was very good. • Cuisine: The appetizers were plentiful and all excellent. The parmigiana (both zucchini and eggplant) deserves a special mention, along with the fried calzoncino and green chili peppers. The first courses, however, were a bit disappointing: the mezze maniche with seafood ragù (with octopus sauce) didn't impress me, while the casarecce "alla cucinero" with sauce and eggplant was lacking in flavor. The fried calamari served with salad was good, however. Unfortunately, we couldn't try dessert because it was too late and we had to leave. • Atmosphere: Very chaotic and noisy, with several large tables and significantly loud voices. • Venue: Rustic and welcoming, in the typical style of a family-run tavern. • Area: Located in the hinterland of Torre del Greco, with private parking available. • Opinion: With the exception of the first courses, which I felt could be improved, the menu was good and of good quality. Despite the holiday crowd, the service was excellent; the long waits were justified by the size of the menu. We enjoyed a pleasant Sunday lunch.

Beautiful experience, friendly staff, plentiful and very good food
