21/12/2025: Very nice place and very good food. Excellent service. Highly recommended.
09/12/2025: "Gentlemen, would you like something?"
It's strange to hear this invitation, especially with a Neapolitan accent, in front of a place called "Vecchio Caffè Cavour."
Gennarino, who with typical Neapolitan charm invited us in, is a great calling card for this charming establishment.
No sooner said than done, my wife and I found ourselves seated at a quiet table: the waiter continued his tradition of friendliness, suggesting some off-menu items, a good white wine (which was complimentary, by the way, making it even more appreciated), and explaining a few things like their homemade bread (delicious).
I had seafood risotto, and my wife had sea bass with potatoes: just the right amount of time for a preparation as long as the rice, but with excellent results.
My wife's fish was, in her opinion, perfect: perfectly cooked, and the accompanying potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, as they should be.
Traditional Neapolitan desserts and two excellent coffees rounded out a very enjoyable meal.
The final surprise was the price: while it's true that we only ate for one person (a first course for me and a second course for my wife), the portions were generous; in any case, the price of around €55 is absolutely reasonable.
We'd definitely visit again to try the other options, perhaps with a few friends to enjoy the hospitality of "your Gennarino," as our host repeatedly emphasized.
Oh, and there's also a pizzeria (not open at lunchtime), so we MUST make another visit ;-)
