The best restaurant on the strip. Those 2 young men that they have out front set a new standard for hospitality. They are friendly, energetic…very refreshing. Because of them I came back, the only restaurant I ate at multiple times. The meatball was the best I ate in my life and I’d travel back to Naples just to eat it again!

Service was good, staff were attentive, ensured that all guests had cutlery to share the mains. Food tasted authentic, genovese pasta had a complex flavour, very well-seasoned. Nerano pasta tasted good too. Good value for money. Nice neon green theme.

We left Trattoria Scialapopolo feeling like we'd just been spoiled by an Italian "Nonna"- stuffed, smiling, and wondering if we should’ve worn stretchier pants. Hearty, traditional Italian dishes that didn’t break the bank.

Our favorite restaurant in Napoli. It has the classic, traditional napoletan dishes served abundantly. We can taste how fresh and natural every ingredient is. In the heart of Quartieri Spagnoli, we sit outside and enjoy the busy napoletan atmosphere while eating the best mozzarella, seafood, and limoncello.

It was a real experience of the traditional restaurants here in Naples. The restaurant is more focused on pasta being the first photo one of the best.

This was a lovely experience, Salvatore was such a lovely and welcoming host, and the food was delicious. We ordered too much and had to take some back to the hotel! Lovely to sit outside in the street and take in the feel of Naples. Would definitely recommend and return. Thank you!
