What’s the vibe?
Hidden away inside Mergellina’s covered market and tucked in a little back corner, Cibi Cotti is an old-school gem that’s been welcoming locals and passerbyers for over 50 years. There are few tables, no menus, and lots of authentic love poured into the daily dishes.
What are the prices like?
For a table of two, prices range from €10-20 for 2-4 dishes plus a drink.
What should I order?
Open only for lunch from 12-3pm, the menu changes daily and food is displayed on the glass counter to point to and choose from. There is no fixed menu, so be open to tasting various first courses and second courses, from seasonal Neapolitan sautéed vegetables to pasta with lentils and tender meats. Don’t be afraid to ask the owners what they recommend!
What’s worth visiting nearby?
Located around the corner from Naples’s Riviera, take a post-lunch walk along the waterfront to admire the city’s seaside life. For an afternoon treat, visit Chalet Ciro and indulge in a sugary-fried-like donut native to Naples called Graffa, or head up the hill to Posillipo at one of the beach clubs for an afternoon dip in the sea.
