Vicolo della Neve In Salerno

I was in Salerno for the first time and I had a great time at the "vicolo della nave" restaurant in the street of the same name. I ate very well... the place is very welcoming... the staff is young but attentive to customers and the owner is cheerful and helpful... I will gladly return, recommended to everyone. Thanks wagliu'

We stopped for a family dinner while passing through. The staff were very friendly; they welcomed the children with games, immediately making them feel at home, and even gave the youngest one a coloring book. Even during dinner, they brought him coloring books with markers. Phenomenal pizza, well-seasoned with quality ingredients, excellent leavening, and perfectly cooked. We also had wild boar, which was buttery, soft, and delicate. What more can I say? If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely stop by.

The location is warm and welcoming. The staff is courteous, friendly, and helpful. More of an osteria than a restaurant. The menu offers traditional local cuisine, albeit limited in selection. The wine list is good. The ingredients are good, but cooked without any real flair, as is the presentation. In short, nothing particularly impressive; home-style cooking. The desserts are mediocre. The bill is definitely more like a restaurant than an osteria. The atmosphere is very noisy, making it difficult to enjoy a quiet dinner.

Great experience. I'd been away for a while and found under the new management an atmosphere that harks back to Salerno's traditional cuisine. Well-made dishes, though perhaps not the most generous portions, are substantial and crafted with care and attention. Excellent ingredients, including the octopus and cod. Everything was delicious, from the Cilento olive oil to the house wine. The pasta e fagioli (pasta and beans) are a must-try. Service was excellent. Well done.

We went for dinner recommended by friends, but it wasn't great. The vegetables and pasta were served raw, but limited quantities, like the homemade French fries, which were expensive. The bread wasn't fresh, and the prices were quite tasty. A sandwich would be better.

I was in Salerno for a short trip, and along with a married couple who live in this beautiful city, I had the pleasure of dining at Vicolo Della Neve. The restaurant retains intact parts of an older structure, with beautiful frescoes on the walls, including a painting by Clemente Tarufi (a talented Salerno painter from the first half of the 20th century), which, among other works, depicts the restaurant's little mascot, the legendary parrot "Petruccio." The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, while the cuisine is typical of Salerno, with traditional pizzas and (not overly) simple dishes that, however, stand out for the incredible quality of the ingredients and the chef's mastery of combining them. The staff, then, is an added bonus, capable of conveying a sense of joy and camaraderie. Pasta with tomato sauce and beans (an incredible first course), meatballs, and cinguetto (a calzone filled with egg, mozzarella, and salami) were just a few of our choices that evening, and—believe me—I couldn't tell you which was the best. I can only thank the lovely couple who made this unforgettable experience possible and assure you that I'll be back soon.

Let's start with the premise that I returned after years—about twenty years—since Vicolo della Neve was run by the legendary Don Matteo Bonavita: the famous rested pasta e fagioli was a thing of the past! 😄 I returned last night, driven by a bit of nostalgia but also by curiosity to see how this historic restaurant in the center of Salerno has changed. I must say: hats off to those who continue running it today. The quality of the food is truly excellent, with traditional Salerno dishes cooked with respect and attention. Of course, the pasta e fagioli is still good—but that was really something at Don Matteo 😉 The restaurant, located in the heart of the historic center, retains its charm with stone arches and an authentic atmosphere, but it has also been updated: today it's more refined, brighter, and the feel is that of a restaurant that looks forward without forgetting its roots. A place absolutely worth a visit, both for those passing through Salerno and those staying there. It's one of those places where you can savor authentic Salerno cuisine—from peperone mbuttunato to eggplant parmigiana, to pizzas cooked in a wood-fired oven. If I really had to find a small flaw, I'd say it as an encouragement: the service. Perhaps a little more warmth, that family-style warmth that was Don Matteo's signature, would make the experience even more perfect. In any case, it's nice to know that Vicolo della Neve continues its history with respect and passion. And when you return, you can still find a bit of that old-fashioned magic. A final gem in Salerno dialect: "At Don Matteo's, they don't make you a coffee..." Unfortunately, the tradition is no longer maintained, and those who have been in Salerno for a long time would be able to explain to you that this was the true custom!

A simply perfect experience! The food was exceptional: dishes crafted with attention to detail, fresh ingredients, and authentic flavors that blended perfectly. Every course was a taste sensation. The service was impeccable: the staff were kind, attentive, and always available, without ever being intrusive. The welcoming and relaxed atmosphere completed an experience I recommend to anyone who loves good food and high-quality hospitality. I'll definitely be back!

Ottima qualità e personale gentilissimo, da provare! La Pasta e fagioli è sicuramente il loro cavallo di battaglia, non si può andare via senza averla provata.

Cena in famiglia perfetta! Atmosfera accogliente, servizio attento e piatti deliziosi. Abbiamo adorato le alici marinate, la zuppa di cozze, le seppie al “uccelletto” e il polpo all’insalata. Tutto freschissimo e ben cucinato. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo. Consigliatissimo!
