Ettore In Napoli

A cozy, no-frills restaurant with good food and friendly staff.

We stumbled upon this cozy restaurant, open since 1938, under three generations of the Ettore family. They were very welcoming and friendly, giving us a tour of Il Forno and their beautiful cucina. The grilled eggplant and eggplant parmesan sides are amazing, and the fresh spaghetti with clams is something worth coming back for! Their tiramisu is the best we've had in Naples, made fresh (not brought in from another bakery).

Recommandé par un célèbre guide touristique, nous avons décidé de tester ce restaurant identifié comme "une institution" du quartier. Pas de tape-à-l'oeil, ici tout est dans son jus ou presque niveau décoration, avec des bouteilles de vin alignées aux murs et des portraits de clients fidèles posant avec le patron. Nous étions les premiers et c'est vrai qu'on n'a pas senti les serveurs très pressés. Mais le service a été agréable tout du long. Carte assez classique et tarifs raisonnables par rapport à ce que nous avons pu voir ailleurs. Nous avons opté pour des pizzas (très original, non?), cuites dans un beau four à bois. Nous avons pu faire la comparaison avec celles mangées la veille et elles étaient bien meilleures, pâte fine et goûteuse. Cerise sur le gâteau : le patron a vu le fameux guide sur la table et nous a offert le limoncello de Capri en digestif ! Visiblement une adresse appréciée des locaux, ce qui est généralement bon signe. Copperto de 2 euros.

Came back after a few years and had a great time again. It is a restaurant frequented by locals. Very simple. Perhaps the prices have increased a little (but like everywhere else). Mozzarella always special! Very kind waiters!

Excellent experience, during a visit to Naples we stopped for lunch, very welcoming environment, excellent food, recommended

Esoardo transforms each of his dishes into an amazing balance between flavor and taste. Heir to a truly historic tavern, if you want to eat well in Naples and pay the right amount you have to be here

Personale gentilissimo, benché fosse tutto prenotato mi ha trovato un tavolo. La pizza veramente buona. Ad un certo punto sono entrati una signora ed un signore a cantare. Credevo non esistessero più questo tipo di artisti. È stato incredibile vedere come tutti i clienti si sono messi a cantare. Cibo buono ambiente accogliente. Raccomando.

Historic restaurant in Via S. Lucia in Naples that has not renovated the premises. Average/good cuisine and prices

Typical trattoria. Friendly staff. Excellent traditional dishes. The bread is a poem, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The desserts are a masterpiece. Even with the typical Neapolitan dough, the pizza is digestible. The fish is cooked divinely.

Famous pizzeria but also excellent restaurant
