El Poble In Napoli

14/04/2025: Five stars because there is one very important thing to say: there is a typical dish of the Neapolitan tradition which, even if it is trendy today and everyone does it, its preparation is not within everyone's reach: Pasta with Genoese sauce. I mean, a self-respecting Genoese must have those characteristics that make the difference, the result of the dish served must leave you with that sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that only a sauce made the way Neapolitan housewives prepared it (and in this case we can also say the chef from Alleria) prepared it. Meat that melts in your mouth, onions cooked properly, a really good mix of flavors and spices. So if the Genovese is excellent, how could not all the typical dishes such as broccoli, meat and everything else on the menu including the starters of this beautiful traditional and innovative restaurant be? A few steps from the train station and the historic center, Alleria can be considered not a banal restaurant for tourists but a real point of reference for lovers of good food. Prices in line with the quality.

14/04/2025: If you're looking for gluten-free options in Pompei, you MUST try out Alleria. The pizza was excellent, and it was so big, I took half away in a box to enjoy for lunch the next day. Their tiramisu comes gluten-free as standard, and it was the nicest tiramisu I have ever eaten (it's my favourite dessert, and I rarely get to enjoy it now I'm gluten free). The best part of our evening at Alleria was the excellent friendly service from Marco. He was incredibly helpful and attentive, and very patient as I practiced my Italian. I was eating with friends, and they also want to pass their compliments to Marco at Alleria. Grazie mille from Grainne, Sai and Priya from Wales. We had a lovely evening!
