This is a very popular place but serves exceptional food. You must book a table in advance so keep that number handy. Seafood is the star here, and the prices are higher because of that. Again, the place is very very small (that’s why you must make a booking, una prenotazione.)
I’m a big fan of spaghetti con vongole (with clams) and I think they have the best ones here. The clams in Naples are so small, they look like little buttons. Once you taste one, you’ll be surprised how much flavor is packed into so little meat. They are so tasty and sweet. (In the US, look for cockles, as they tend to be smaller than the clams here and are sweeter.)
Other favorites are the grilled shrimp, fried calamari with Sorrento lemon, fish cooked in crazy water (small fish cooked in a spicy broth.)
