3 Best Restaurants in Vomero, Naples

If you see a line of hungry-looking patrons between the funicular stations of Toledo and Chiaia, you'll know you are close to Pizzeria Acunzo. When ordering, note that there are few variations of the thickly crusted pizzas—after all, this establishment has been running for 60 years, and its tried-and-tested product is, as onetime diner Isabella Rossellini can confirm, fenomenale.

Here, you can take your pick of the pizzas and pasta dishes, or ask the owners to whip up a panino incorporating some of the excellent cheeses, vegetables, and meats on display. The uniformly high-quality ingredients make up for the spartan surroundings.

Since 1938, this place has been popular with kids (and decidedly not with health-conscious adults) thanks to its greasy brown-paper bags filled with deep-fried eggplant, zucchini, zucchini flowers, zeppole dough balls, or potato croquettes—the Neapolitan versions of French madeleines. Forget all that stuff about the Mediterranean diet being so healthy and indulge in some oil-drenched bliss.
