What’s the vibe?
What may be one of the most recognisable restaurants in Naples, Trattoria da Nennella is a Neapolitan institution, partly for its food, sure, but mostly for the Nennella experience. Dating back to 1950, not much has changed over time – think Neapolitan folklore music, waiters dancing and singing, traditional cuisine, and smashing dinner plates. The interiors are painted in red and white and guests will leave full, happy, and smiling.
What are the prices like?
The daily fixed menu includes a first course, second course, and a seasonal side dish will cost 15 euros a person.
What should I order?
The menu changes daily, but the selections are always top-notch. Look out for classics including pasta and potatoes, risotto with seafood, sausage with sauteed rapini, paccheri pasta with seafood, but you can’t go wrong with much. Don’t forget to get a liter of house wine to share with the table.
What’s worth visiting nearby?
Mercato della Pignasecca, one of the city’s oldest open-air markets, is a stone's throw away, offering visitors a taste of Neapolitan daily life full of flavor, commotion, and color. Take a stroll down Via Toledo, the epicenter of shopping, history, and culture, or venture to Galleria Umberto I, a public shopping gallery with a blue stain-glass dome.
