Monkey Bar In Bacoli

August 19, 2025, Tuesday. I want to clarify that it was Tuesday: this is because, of the many restaurants, pizzerias, and trattorias in the area, NOT ONE WAS OPEN. So I ended up eating here by chance: and, as I told the owners in person, I was lucky. I didn't pay attention to whether a person with a mobility disability can use the restrooms independently. I liked everything: I occupied a cool room inside alone, and I liked what I ate. Paccheri with octopus, squid, and tuna €18. Fried anchovies (and what anchovies, some looked more like sardines) €10. A small bottle of water, a medium beer, a coffee, and a cover charge: total €37.50. The fish all seemed fresh to me: while I was eating, I also saw five bags of clams arriving, so I guess there's plenty of fresh fish. They also gave me two lemon wipes, which you have to ask for in some restaurants. If you choose to visit the Baia Thermal Baths on a Tuesday, I recommend it: it's just a stone's throw from the Temple of Diana, on the way to the Temple of Venus.

My wife took me to this gelateria, which for her is a piece of childhood history, tied to the memory of the fantastic hazelnut gelato. Despite the passage of time, the flavor has remained authentic and unforgettable. Every time we return to Naples, we must stop by. Although all the flavors are delicious, I highly recommend trying the hazelnut gelato, a true excellence.

Excellent food and drinks...but the best is the gelato!! Delicious and made with artisanal ingredients. You can taste the difference. The staff is friendly and helpful, the prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is lovely (just steps from the port and the spa). In short, a must-see if you're passing through.

Don't be fooled by the name! Monkey bar is so much more! Excellent family cuisine! First courses, second courses, excellent sandwiches! Ice cream, coffee, artisanal granitas! Delicious pizzas by the slice! Mino and the tireless and indestructible Annamaria, supported by their children Fabrizio and Wanda and their team (including the old pirate Raimondo) will always welcome you with a smile and great hospitality! At the monkey bar you will feel at home from the first impact! Thanks guys!
