Michelin Guide's Point of View
MICHELIN Recommended
Located on a tree-lined, twinkly lit residential street with a neighborhood feel, this restaurant with strong Neapolitan roots offers an array of both modern and classical Italian dishes. Begin with a basket of their fresh breads, including rustic grissini and focaccia, served with creamy house-made ricotta. Move on to the gamberi and calamari fritti, properly enrobed in a double crispy batter, with a spritz of Amalfi lemon and a Dijon mustard dipping sauce. Pastas are the highlight here, particularly the Linguine alla Nerano — a fine base of Gragnano pasta, perfectly al dente, enveloped in light creamy sauce with a mix of fresh and dried zucchini and rounded out with Parmesan foam and plenty of freshly ground pepper. Don't ignore dessert, as their pistachio ice cream is truly special.
