Concettina ai Tre Santi

$$ | Sanità

In the 1954 film L'Oro di Napoli, Sofia Loren sold fried pizza from a basso (a street-level room), something Concettina Flessigno Oliva had already been doing since three years earlier. This is now one of Naples's most highly acclaimed pizzerias, and Oliva’s great-grandson's menu includes all the usual culprits as well as pizza wedges based on local in-season ingredients. Twenty-seven Pulcinella masks by renowned local artist Lello Esposito hang in the entrance, and a Nativity scene is perched over the proceedings in the long hall. Gluten-free pizzas are also available.

Trattoria Del Bosco

$ | Capodimonte
Just outside the Capodimonte gate, this delightful eatery has an open kitchen where you can choose the ingredients for your meal and then watch the chef prepare it. There's no menu so the friendly waiters talk you through the season's freshest produce. Fish is a favorite, particularly their Santa Lucia dish—large paccheri pasta baked al cartoccio (in paper) with shrimp, clams, and mussels. Try their babà with pineapple and chocolate for desert.

Trattoria-Pizzeria Forchetta

$ | Capodimonte

Just 50 yards from the main Capodimonte gate, this no-nonsense eatery is favored by locals as well as day-trippers to the park and museum. The friendly owners will talk you through the day's specialties, and there's an inexpensive lunchtime set menu. Fish is a favorite, with fried calamari and alici always available.

Vitto Pitagorico

$ | Centro Storico

Right outside the Museo Archeologico, this handy lunch stop offers a vegan and vegetarian menu that will appeal to all tastes and dietary preferences. Arched and airy, with white walls, a stone-tiled floor and a profusion of houseplants, the restaurant offers a range of dishes including soups, salads, pizzas, and pastas and has an agreeable air of chat and low-level bustle. Watch out, though, for the elevated prices for the extras.
