Trattoria da Nennella

This is a Neapolitan institution that I believe shouldn't be missed when you're in town. We arrived 15 minutes before opening and there was already a long queue. The restaurant spans three floors, so it seats a good number of diners, and to our surprise, most of them were locals. If you're seeking something quiet or intimate, this might not be the spot for you. Service was efficient and friendly enough, even though we didn’t speak Italian. The place runs like a well-oiled machine, with orders arriving within minutes. We tried the famous potato pasta, which was decent, but a bit heavy and not as enjoyable since it wasn’t served warm enough. The seafood pasta, on the other hand, was piping hot and packed with flavor. The pesto salad was really refreshing. For mains, the grilled codfish was good, though the schnitzel was a bit dry. We didn’t particularly enjoy the sides. That said, a two-course meal at 16€ is hard to beat!

Wonderful Dining Experience! We had our son’s birthday lunch here and it was good! Theres a long line outside so be prepared to wait, you know its good just if there’s a line outside! Best to come around 11am when the lines are just starting to build up. The food was very good, truly authentic Napolitan food , simple but very tasty and well cooked. Seafood, meat, salad are good quality! A musician entertained us as we dined, but you need to tip him. We got the outdoor Alfresco table, its less stuffy and cramped compared to the inside seating. Must try when in Naples

We had few recommendations for this place and seemed like a unique spot so decided to give it a try. The queue was ridiculous and we spent over an hour and they were late to open. The service was rushed and not super sweet too. Food was ok but not the top food. Had better meals in Napoli! But it was fun to get up ans dance although again it was over very quickly and just seemed very rushed. If it wasnt so rushed would have been great.

The food was ok, but we were seated in the basement, we couldn't see any performances, and even if we went upstairs there was no place to stand. The fun upstairs had nothing to do with us, we were like eating in another restaurant downstairs.

Restaurants can be worth the wait. This definitely is not. It’s pure luck if you’re seated in a half decent place, if like us below the freaking cold a/c, your anyways below average food will be cold within 2 minutes. Scream at the waiter and you’ll get a beer. Would not recommend, neither for food nor atmosphere not any other experience you could wish having there. Might be fun in a group if you already had three beers getting into this.

Lively atmosphere, classic Italian experience! This place is always buzzing with a vibrant, authentic Italian atmosphere. While the staff could be friendlier, it didn't detract from the experience. We waited about 20 minutes for a table for eight, but the wait was worth it for the lively scene. They offer a €15 prix-fixe menu where you can choose three courses. Water is included. The pasta with fresh tomatoes was fantastic! The fried sausages and salad were also good, getting a 4 out of 5 rating from me. Overall, this restaurant offers a classic Italian experience. The singing and laughter from other patrons added to the atmosphere, making it a place worth visiting while you're in Naples.

My first attempt trying this place was not successful cause the line was craaazy. The staff came to us and told us that maybe it’s better to cut the line and visit the other time. Well, it was Saturday night and the place is apparently very popular. So I visited the next day for lunch. The line wad better and I was quickly seated. Didn’t have a lot expectation or prior knowledge about the food other than they serve a full menu with affordable prices and a very typical Neapolitan dish. I tried their potato pasta, meatball in Neapolitan sauce, and roasted eggplant. All of them tasted really good! I fell in love with the roasted eggplant.. it was reaaally good and well seasoned. The meatball was nice as well. Very tender with sweet and bit sour tomato based sauce. But what surprised me the most was in the middle of finishing my plate, the place was transformed into a private concert where the staffs (and the guests) were singing along and dancing. It was quite an experience! I really liked it :). Definitely will recommend the place!

Trattoria Restaurant offers great value with its delicious, affordable food and lively atmosphere. The live music really elevates the dining experience, making the place vibrant and fun. I recommend arriving at 6:30 pm sharp, as there's often a long queue. Plus, being part of the first batch means enjoying the freshest dishes and the most energetic crowd. It's definitely worth the wait for a memorable evening out.
