Yummmm!!! The best!!…read more My family is from Arpino!! The most amazing town you've never heard of or been to in Italy :) Mainly because we'd know about it If any English speaking tourists ever come through here! Most people can't speak it! And we know every single person in town!! So this!!! This restaurant!! It's been there!! Probably for all my every year visit for a good 12 years now! I only rave out it so much!! Built before Rome was built! 4000 years old castle! Cobble stone roads! One bar, one butcher shop, agriturissimos, best produce, magical place of everyone know when I visit town! :) I've never been out to a restaurant when I visit because we have families and they pretty much feed you 2 hours long breakfast, 4 hours lunches and 4 hours dinners!! It's a feast marathon!! And if we do go out, we go out to one place that grow everything on the property for my favorite: lamb!! Gnocchi! Etc!! It's a lavish 12-14 course meals!! Came here because we had that lavish lunch for 4 hours! And Italy was playing that night! Everyone wanted to go to a bar and eat sandwiches, salami! Of course! I need a pasta! So viola!! Made it to the only pizzeria in town!!! Almost didn't get to eat it since they were so busy!!! But wow!! The menu!! I love how small it was but also how big!! 6-8 types of pizza, one pasta!! One!! One steak, one something else. And a lot of fun desserts!! One very frustrated waitress!! 2 rooms full of customers!! It was perfect!!! Nobody ate pasta since we were all eating light!! Well except me! My pasta was AHMAZING!! It's just a tomato pasta!!! Plain and simple!! No nothing else!! And I actually finished my food for once!!! The house made peppers were the best part!!! I've never been so happy to not eat at home before!! Crazy!! And crazier thing!! I really don't have a clue how much anything cost here ever!! I can't buy or pay for a single thing whenever I'm here!! Not even a cup of coffee!! I'm never allowed!! My family takes care of everything. This one being a restaurant! I saw the prices!! It was a €6 pasta!!! €6!! I always come for a month here. I spent a whole month in Europe: from Paris to San Sebastián to Capri to all over Italy!! And this! €6 pasta was the most memorable pasta pomodoro in entire month!!!!! Best in all of May! June! And even now!! Shame I won't be able to go back! I mean! Homefood!! It was the best!! Oh and wine pour right out of their barrels!! Wine by weight!!!! €4 get you a goblet!!!!! :)

I am more than pleased to be the first to review this little gem. We were spending a few days…read moretraveling by car between Naples and Rome and we're driving up to the Abbey at Monte Cassino and gave this a shot and sure happy we did. We ordered a few pizzas and pastas and a few sides and they were all really great. I had just had maybe 3-4 Melenzane Parmigiana's over the past few days but they had theirs on an antipasto table that looked great so I had to have it - it was as good as any in Naples. So, literally not a word of English spoken but it was fine. I think the vino rosso there was my least favorite of the trip but everyone else had beer or soda so I took one for the team. I hope they don't hate me for introducing the Yelp community to this place - maybe the locals will, but hey it's 2019...

We were early so there were only a few people there. The waiter speaks English but I still practiced my Italian (and he said I was doing good with it ) We ordered a couple of beers and the fried seafood. There was plenty of it, having a nice crunchy breading. The calamari was tender and not chewy at all - it really was a large order in size! We had a Forte and Margherita pizza. Oh!! And yeah!!! Flavorful thin crust with the outside crust like soft pillows!!! Enjoyed relaxing and talking about what we did today, the amazing time we have had here and eating local handmade pizza with the simplest of ingredients

The doors opened unexpectedly and Franco Pepe poked out his head and shouted out "Buenaserra!". Before they started calling out the reservations, a large wedding party was ushered in for a reception! It was an unexpected surprise that only added to the joy of eating at this establishment for the first time. Fried appetizers are common at Naples' pizzerias. They were uniformly good everywhere but these were the best we had on the trip ROCCO: Cone with 12-month Grana Padano DOP fondue, pecorino cheese,Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP tomatoes, dried Casertano pork sausage, chili pepper, pecorino chips, basil. CIRO: Cone with 12-monthGrana Padano DOP fondue, rocket pesto, dehydrated Caiazzo black olives. As a side note, most pizzerias did not have any salads or vegetable sides. Now for the pizzas. PORKASERTA: San Marzano tomatoes, fiordilatte cheese, smoked scamorza cheese, dried Casertano pork sausage, oregano and EVOO. This is the pizza that will haunt my dreams. The aroma of the pizza was indescribably porky, and the flavor was the most porky thing I've ever eaten. The "dried sausage" had wonderfully soft fat, and the slices were a little less than a ¼" thick. MARGHERITA SBAGLIATA: Campana DOP Buffalo mozzarella cheese, purée of "riccio" tomatoes, basil reduction, EVOO. This is the pizza that Franco Pepe is known for. It was good and I'm glad we tried it, but I did not find it to be a major improvement over a normal Margherita. LA PICCANTE: Fiordilatte cheese, San Marzano tomato, spicy salami, oregano and EVOO. This was my second favorite pizza that we tried here. RICOTTA E PISTACCHIO: Cheesecake al pistacchio della pasticceria Pepe. It was the perfect way to end the meal. The waiters at most of the pizzerias we visited were extremely knowledgeable about the technical aspects of pizza. I found out that they use a custom flour, the dough ball weight is 281 grams and the bake time is about 2 minutes (which I verified by watching their kitchen cam TV on the dining room wall). The pizzas all had more cheese than I was expecting. The crust was extremely light and it was not salty like Da Michele. I'd estimate it to be under 3%. They do use a bit of old dough as part of their fermentation process. Getting to meet Franco Pepe was the cherry on top. He's not a schmoozer, but he did briefly visit all the dining areas. This was our overall favorite pizzeria we visited and it's very possibly the best Neapolitan pizza in the world.

Franceso Martucci, the pizza chef, is known for applying advanced culinary techniques. A large portion of the pizzas on his menu has dough that is fried, steamed, and then cooked in the oven. Did it make a lovely, light crust? Yes. Is it better or more tender than the pizzas we had elsewhere that had only been fried or had only been baked in an oven? No. APPETIZERS: FRITTATINA VEGETARIANA: Crispy potatoes sautéed in Normandy butter with red peppers, Salina capers, sun-dried Caiazzan olives, fondue and 28-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano Bianca, Buffalo milk cheese, béchamel scented with cubeb pepper, and fresh basil. This was just a single bite. POLENTA FRITTA. Corn polenta, wild garlic, cubebe pepper, pecorino cheese; served with onion mayonnaise (no eggs, with soy milk). Everyone at the table liked this, PIZZAS: UNA VOLTA Fior di latte cheese, Semi-aged Agnone Caciocavallo cheese, blue cheese by Fattorie Garofalo, marinated Scottona beef top round with garlic, olive oil and parsley, lime mousse, Sichuan pepper, cubeb pepper. The toppings were the star on this one, and it was not overly blue-cheesy. ASSOLUTO DI POMODORO: Roasted cherry tomato cream, piennolo tomato sautéed, yellow tomato sautéed, San Marzano PDO tomato mousse, dried piennolo cherry tomato, chips of red datterino, Piennolo tomato jam, extra virgin olive oil Matilde Misuraca. This was a tomato-forward pizza. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. Was it better than a plain Cosacca that I had later that week at Pizzeria Salvo? No. VIA EMILIA  Fior di latte cheese, Mortadella Bologna PGI, flakes of 28-month-aged Parmigiano Reggiano made from Bianca Modenese cow's milk. Although my wife ordered this pizza, this was my daughter's favorite. It had the best bake of the pizzas we tried, probably because the toppings were added post-bake,
