Best Restaurants in Naples (2026)

Eating in Naples starts with pizza, and the classic pizzerias are an experience in themselves. L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele keeps to the marinara and margherita it has served since 1930, Gino e Toto Sorbillo draws long queues on Via dei Tribunali, Pizzeria Brandi tells the story of the first margherita, and 50 Kalò in Mergellina shows how a new generation of pizza makers has refined the dough. The busiest pizzerias do not take bookings, so arrive early or expect to wait.

Beyond pizza, Tandem serves the slow-cooked Neapolitan ragù and genovese that families traditionally eat on Sundays, Mimì alla Ferrovia has cooked classic Neapolitan dishes near the station since 1943, and La Bersagliera serves seafood beside the boats of Borgo Marinari. For a special occasion, George at Grand Hotel Parker's holds two Michelin stars, and Veritas and Palazzo Petrucci offer contemporary cooking, the latter with views across the gulf from Posillipo. Neapolitans lunch from around 13.00 and dine late, rarely before 20.30, and a coperto cover charge is common.
