Arka Ristorante Pizzeria
The Cumhuriyet trattoria that has held the Michelin Bib Gourmand for Neapolitan pizza and seafood risotto since 2013
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 2026
Arka has run from a stone room on Cumhuriyet since 2013, with a small terrace facing the Kumbahçe pebble line and a kitchen built around two propositions: Neapolitan-style pizza from a wood oven and a creamy seafood risotto the regulars order without looking at the card. The room reads more village trattoria than waterfront tourist trap, red-and-white check, photographs from Italy on the walls, no reservations, and the Michelin Bib Gourmand has sat with the address every year since 2024.
Editor's Tip
No reservations; arrive at 19:30 for the second turn after the early Italian tourists clear. Order the seafood risotto and a Neapolitan pie, not the long Italian-American add-ons.
