Pizzeria Tutino In Napoli

Tutino dal 1935, a true gem in the heart of Naples Yesterday, I went out for pizza with a friend of mine. Since he’s an expert, he suggested we go to Tutino, near the station. Walking through the alleys of traditional Naples has an inexplicable charm — you really have to experience it to understand. There are areas and small businesses that aren’t visible to the unobservant eye; you need to explore with an open mind and, if possible, with a local who can show you the authentic side of the city. And so we arrived at Tutino, a pizzeria that’s been open since 1935. Yes, you read that right — since 1935. In Naples, it’s not uncommon for pizzerias to have been around for over a hundred years, but how many can truly offer a pizza worth licking your fingers for? Well, Tutino is one of them. At the entrance, there are three beautiful ovens — two of them already lit, and this was just a Friday lunchtime (you might not know that , at least in the past, pizza for lunch in Naples was not so common, hence usually restaurants or pizzerias close around 3.30pm and reopened by 7.30). Tutino stays open all day, from lunch through dinner, which means they churn out a lot of pizzas. There are no tables on the ground floor, so we went upstairs. Only a few customers were there at the time — the atmosphere was informal, simple, and clean. We ordered our pizzas, and within five minutes they arrived. They looked fantastic. The margherita had a couple of small flaws visually, but nothing that seemed to affect the quality of the product. With the first bite, I already knew my marinara was a winner. What an explosion of flavors — the taste of the tomato was so intense and vibrant, the oil wasn’t overdone, and the whole thing melted in my mouth. A knife was completely unnecessary. It was such a pleasure to eat, and for once, I took my sweet time — bite after bite — almost sad to see it come to an end. At the counter, the bill came to €20 for two pizzas and a bottle of water — fair and honest. After a quick chat and a photo with the staff, it was time to think about the sweet side of the day. Thank you, Tutino— now I understand why this pizzeria has been going strong since 1935! If you're reading my post and planning to visit Naples, skip the lines of the most famous and heavily advertised places, and dive into the authentic atmosphere of those who have mastered their craft for generation and thank me later!

The best pizza portafoglio in all of Naples! Delicious frittatas and croquettes too! We grabbed a quick bite as soon as we arrived in Naples (this one is just steps from the station, but there are others: we also tried Via Toledo and everything was always excellent). I don't have any photos because once you have a hot frittata or a freshly baked pizza portafoglio in your hand, you can't resist and you don't even take any photos...

The place was empty, except for dirty dishes left by previous guests. The waitress threw a single card on the table and left without a word. The pizza arrived quickly. It was good, but the tomato sauce was so excessive that it was all over the place. For two pizzas and two drinks, plus a coperto, we paid 22 euros, so a good price.

The pizza was delicious. The prices were low, and the service was great. I highly recommend it.

I've never eaten such a good pizza, here you feel the true essence of Naples

Very tasty pizza! I had the one with red and yellow tomatoes and really enjoyed it. Recommend!

Pizza is very good; location is okay. But if you like excellent pizza, this is the place for you.

Since I've been visiting Naples, I often go for pizza with a colleague of mine. So far, it's the best pizza I've had in Naples. A homely atmosphere in the heart of Naples, with top-notch quality and value.

If you know Tutino, you won't forget it. Made with quality ingredients, good dough, and baked in the oven... and still very reasonable prices, if you like...

Sono stata alla sede di Porta Nolana. La pizza è molto buona e cotta alla perfezione. Il menù è molto vario e il servizio è cordiale. Seguitemi su IG @melinaincucina
