Frijenno Magnanno In Napoli

14/03/2025: Just want to say what a wonderful place this is. We arrived here on Feb 6th around 1900. We spent the day in Pompeii with our daughter and her boyfriend. They have an electric car that needed to be charged up, and we were desperate to find a charging place before we became stranded on the side of the road. We finally found a place with a few miles of charge left. We were cold and hungry, and needed to wait for the car to charge, so we just started to walk into town to look for a place to eat. Stopped here. From the outside, it looked kind of neglected and unappealing for 3 Americans and a Romanian. Boy, were we wrong! There was no inside seating, just a small patio outside, that was cold and dark. But the owner and his employees made us feel so welcome, even though we could barely communicate with one another. We ordered 3 large pizzas, and a bunch of appetizers, all for about 37 Euros. The appetizers were good, but the pizzas were fantastic. But it wasn't the food that made the stop special. It was the people working there. They saw we were cold, and came out to the patio a few minutes after we ordered with a metal coal bucket loaded with hot coals from the pizza oven! It was so awesome. After the meal, I went to pay at the counter, and the boss (maybe the owner?) started miming to me about America, each of us laughing at one another. I paid, and we were getting ready to leave, when he gestured to me to sit back down. I wasn't sure what was going on, but a few minutes later, he came out with a tray of some type of pistachio after-dinner drink for all of us. It really made our evening so special! Summary - we spent 2 weeks in Rome and the surrounding area, and ate at several high end restaurants during our stay, but our unintentional stop here was the most memorable and special time we had during our travels.

05/01/2025: rustic and special environment that seems like a typical Neapolitan pizzeria (in fact it is) ... pizza? very good with an excellent dough and an immense variety of flavors and with the possibility of making half the pizza one flavor and the other part another flavor, things that many pizzerias don't do... advice and what can I say top 1️⃣
