Harbourside, refined, special-occasion, panoramic

Porto

The working harbour that doubles as the address for Naples's grandest, starred dining.

The Porto district fronts the working waterfront, where the ferries to Capri and the ocean liners come and go and the Angevin keep of the Castel Nuovo anchors the skyline near Piazza Municipio. It is also, improbably, where Naples does its grandest dining: the Caracciolo and harbour-edge hotels host the rarefied, Michelin-starred end of the city at Alain Ducasse's Il Ristorante and the panoramic Aria. The contrast is the point: gangways and cranes on one side, a tasting menu and a sommelier's pour on the other. This is special-occasion Naples, the meal you book ahead and dress for, with the sea and the port lights as the backdrop.
