This place is now called Chef Cannavacciuolo. Still focuses on seafood. You can order a la carte or…read morechoose from whatever's behind the counter. Choosing a la carte will take a while to make as it will be made to order (around 20 mins?), while glass counter items are cheaper and just reheated for you should you choose to eat in (yes, from a microwave). You order at the counter then seat yourself wherever. I had the spaghetti con vongole and was utterly shocked by the freshness, not a hint of fishiness, no grit, no sand. Spaghetti was buttery and just the right amount of flavor. Also had the cacio e pepe with mussels. Again, so fresh, so clean. Mussels were *just* cooked so they were super tender. Portions were kind of small, but I thought that was a fair exchange for the quality. We also ordered the seafood risotto from the counter, which was a bigger portion, though not so much seafood, but that was only 5€. Three primis plus large water totaled to only €26. And to think just earlier a nearby restaurant handed me a flier where lunch sets started at €25 per person!

It was very crowded, busy, and we got there about 45 minutes before closing, but he welcomed us and took such good care of us! I had the bream and my husband had cod with marinara. They were perfection!! The tables were small and crowded, which felt a little tight, but I wouldn't change a thing!

Dear Mamma Rosa, thank you for feeding two starving travellers your delicious food! Your pasta…read moredishes, especially the Paccheri alla Genovese with octopus plus chopped pistachios, were the best we had during our entire Italy trip. Our waiter, who is the son of Mamma Rosa, also helped us discover a new way to eat lemon cake: spray it with salted water to really bring out the sweet and tangy flavours. If we visit the Amalfi Coast again, I hope to stay a few days in Salerno so I can visit Mamma Rosa everyday.

I was getting disappointed with the limited cuisine in Napoli God how much pizza can one eat?…read more Procida provided us with a much needed change in a huge way. When we got to Procida, we went to Marina di Corricella and walked by the waterfront restaurants trying to decide where to eat. La Lampara sits high above the marina providing a nice view. But I can not say enough about the amazing food experience. Don't waste your time and money on the standard dishes. This place and it's food we ordered you can not find anywhere in the US. I will never forget what we ate. We had the Seafood Caprese to start. It's two mozzarella filled with anchovies and smoked swordfish. My wife order the seared tuna and I had the fried salted cod. Each were excellent and well worth it. But the dessert was something I will never ever forget. The lemon tiramisu!!!!! Excellent food. I told my wife that when I grow old and suffer from dementia, I will likely forget everyone's name but I will never forget La Lampara. :-)

In searching for a dinner spot our first night, we came across the Yelp reviews for this place. The…read moretwo of us shared the octopus salad and spaghetti with clams; the taste of the food here is on point. There was plentiful octopus in the salad, and the lemon really added to the flavor. The spaghetti was also tasty with generous portions although we did find it a bit salty. Thankfully, we used the leftover lemon from the octopus to cut through some of the saltiness. Overall, a place with solid food.

It is truly an honor to write my first European Yelp Review and it was truly 5 stars (because all…read moreof them were not!) After flying almost 9 hours from Newark, NJ into Naples I opted to book one night for my mom and I next door at Hotel Gabbiano. Us Americanas are not used to restaurants opening after 7pm - and many in Italy don't until 8, however after attempting to camminare (walk) some steep hills to nearby-ish places we instead decided to waltz into Villa Molpe thanks to the kind reassurance of an elderly man who was at the hotel entrance who seemed to be working valet or security. We were the first patrons and the weather was splendid so we got first pick of two seats overlooking the water. Our server (who spoke a tiny bit of Spanish) appreciated our broken Italian and promptly welcomed us with fresh bread, a bottle of white wine and massive heinekin. I love olio con pepa (evoo and black pepper) so we had that with our bread. The fried calamari was fresh, crisp and fantastico. This was the first of three orders of mussels around Naples and the shells weren't as clean as they could've been, the broth was more peppery than I am used to but I realized its common for the region and didn't mind. Mom enjoyed her grilled steak which tasted like sirloin or skirt steak on the bone, the fries were seriously delicious. My white wine went down like glorious water and mom never saw such a huge Heineken bottle but she loved it. We wanted coffee to go for our early morning ferry but ended up receiving them as dine-in and didn't mind that either! We had a wonderfully light mixed berry cheesecake and ultimately got an espresso wrapped to go. Such a memorable first night in Italy and I wish experiences like this At least once in a lifetime for tutti (everyone!) If you need a tour guidess; ANDIAMO! Let's go! Lol ciao.

We wanted seafood because when in Sorrento...why not opt for super fresh seafood right by the coast?! Our server recommended a really delicious local red that was super reasonably priced and we enjoyed with said red: For Primi -- *Gnocchi alla sorrentina (Sorrento-style Gnocchi): I mean...we kinda had to get a regional specialty right? Gnocchi here is potato based instead. It was SO delicious - still perfect texture. They also served this HOT HOT HOT with melty cheese. So delicious and a really generous portion!! *Spaghettoni alle vongole (Pasta with Clams): Another favorite for us in general so figured a really fresh version could be stellar and it didn't disappoint! This slightly edged out the gnocchi for me flavor-wise, but the gnocchi was dang good so it just goes to show how DELISH this was!!! For Secondi -- *Grigliata mista di pesce (mixed grilled fish - this was an incredible plate of such fresh seafood. There was various fish, a giant prawn, octopus alll grilled & seasoned to perfection! *Swordfish special! -- apparently it was swordfish season and it was a 'fresh catch' and I feel like you could tell! Really lovely and nicely seasoned. Portions were very generous & we were way too full for dessert at this point! So you could probably eat more "American" style here (Just 1 entree instead of our approach), but the menu here is pretty stellar!!!
