HIDDEN In a corner of the square the sign already attracted me... I was with two friends and I must say I didn't expect a restaurant like this. Refinement, taste and research into Latin flavors make this place an interesting culinary experience to keep an eye on. The good management of the room, the harmonious research into the details of the environment and the cuisine, interesting in its tastes and presentation of the dish, were truly impeccable. Good chef. Highly recommended

Beautiful culinary experience. High competence and professionalism

Locale molto carino che si sviluppa su due piani, una vera e propria oasi di tranquillità al centro di Napoli. Piatti molto particolari, con ingredienti e accostamenti non banali e sapori molto decisi. Divertente e riuscita l'entree' in cui lo chef propone all'apparenza dei classici petit four dolci, che invece rivelano delle note sapide, piccanti e speziate. Accattivante e originale, anche nella presentazione, la tartare affumicata di pecora con sedano, senape alle erbe e uvetta, godibile ed equilibrata. Goloso il porro grigliato. Purtroppo i tubetti con scorfano, kumquat e paprika avevano la pasta indietro di cottura e gli ingredienti poco legavano fra loro. Ottima la degustazione di formaggi, in particolare lo stilton. Molto buona e ben cotta l'animella grigliata, forse appesantita un po' troppo dall'hummus di ceci neri. Eccellente il piccione frollato, sicuramente il piatto migliore del pranzo : un piatto succulento, a cui l'aggiunta della demi-glace al Pedro Ximenez dava ulteriore spinta e gusto. Buona la millefoglie alla banana. Carta dei vini in linea con la cucina, originale e non banale. Da menzionare uno strepitoso sciacchetra' e un avvolgente rum Vigia. Personale molto cortese ed empatico, sempre disponibile al colloquio. Rapporto qualità - prezzo più che corretto.

Ubicato in una delle piazze più belle e meno conosciute di Napoli questo ristorante propone una cucina ecumenicamente divisa tra carne e pesce (ma non mancano le proposte veg) di tipo creativo e tecnicamente perfetta. Menzionato Michelin, merita di più!

I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. I really appreciated the welcome offered by the restaurant, the kindness of the lady who served our table, her smile as she anticipated the dishes we would soon enjoy, the politeness with which she asked several times if everything was to our liking or what the most liked dish was. I enjoyed the accompaniment of flavors and the culinary "gambles", the bread they produce and the desserts, absolutely my favorite part of the meal. I would recommend this place which is located in the heart of Naples and yet is perhaps still too little known. I will certainly return

Food: All look and no substance is the best way I would describe what we had. The appetizers were the star of the show and by far the best thing we had(sheep and eel). Sadly, they brought out an aperitif before hand that was poorly balanced, and over all not good. Of the 3 main dishes we got, one was quite good (tubetto), one was just okay(plin), and one was bad(the catch of the day). We got 2 desserts, 1000 feuille was fantastic and the bread and chocolate was meh at best. As a whole the food experience leveled out to be far too below average to be worth the price. Service: The server was kind, and funny. We were uncertain on what we wanted wine wise and were given a great suggestion by one of the staff who seemed very knowledgeable. Sadly there was a miscommunication that resulted in one of our parties allergies not being noted properly. Atmosphere: Nothing about the atmosphere felt relatively exceptional, nor did it largely detract from the experience.
