Loved the fried pizza and spaghetti here. The service was great and the location is optimal for a quick stop in and to keep going on your day. The only thing I didn’t like was the menu had no prices so you just had to take their word for it. But I’d come back - that spaghetti is perfectly al dente.

He’s very nice, gives great tips for surrounding restaurants and makes mean (great) aperol spritz to go and to sit down. Would recommend to friends and family!

This place was incredible. If you want a fantastic aperol spritz, incredible gelato, and wonderful staff, you have to come to this place. All I wanted when I came to Italy was great/authentic food and drinks, and you’ll get that here!

Absolutely incredible - each round of spritz came with a platter exquisite local antipasti. Our favourite experience in Napoli so far!

Incredibly friendly owner who welcomed us every time as family. The first time we went there we didn't had any cash. He trusted the both of us to go to the bank and return later. Nice cocktails and the nocciola coffee is spot on. We love Giovanni!
