A meal at this stylish but simpatico seafood restaurant across from the ferry terminal is a fitting way to round out a day in the Campi Flegrei. Although pricey, the exquisite antipasti, beautifully prepared pasta dishes, and pesce straight off the boats make this a favorite with the locals.
With a Neapolitan street food pedigree—the Infante made famed taralli on Via Foria back in the 19th century—this is a reliable spot for ice cream, drinks, and snacks from breakfast to midnight. Sweet tooths may be tempted by their indulgent babà in bicchiere while for those seeking savory there's bruschetta, filled panini, and cold cuts and cheese platters, among many snacks.
Secreted away down a vicolo (alley) one block from the Pozzuoli waterfront, this restaurant (est. 1946) is admired in Neapolitan circles for its fresh seafood, ample portions, and reasonable prices. Spaghetti with clams, octopus salad, grilled and fried fish, and seafood risotto are among the longtime favorites prepared here.
The celebrated site of oyster beds and fish farms in ancient times, Lake Lucrino is now the setting for this rustic trattoria. Quirky Ruggiero runs the dining room with a whimsical charm—don't be shocked if he addresses you through his megaphone or warmly embraces you when you leave—and his wife, Maria, lovingly prepares specialties from land, sea, and lake, much to the delight of the locals who tend to pack the place.
