Tucked among the Spaccanapoli alleys near the Statue of the Nile, this small trattoria run by Gaetano Bottiglieri and Anna De Gaetano cooks family recipes the slow way, provola, stuffed pasta, the genovese, finishing on a homemade pastiera. No spectacle, no English-menu hustle, just the kind of Neapolitan home cooking that is getting harder to find in the centro storico.

Editor's Tip

A genuine neighbourhood table, not a tourist canteen despite the location. Small room; lunch is calmer.
