    Octopus woth grilled veggies - 5/10 it was a small portion but one piece was definitely undercooked
    Eddy H.

    The place is okay and the area is nice. Service was okay. The server recommended a few items to us for appetizers. I thought it was a bit too muxh to order 2 of each of the three appetizers for 6 people but I thought maybe the portions were small. They werent! Overall Food & Vibe 5/10

    Very welcoming staff wonderful experience. The Margarita pizza was very fresh. Welcoming spot to take a break. Tables and canopies streetside were a great break from the long walk we were taking.

    Their food was delicious for sure. It just took a while! Worthy of more like 3.5 stars ***×. Their salsiccia e friarelli pizza was awesome! Even the other half of leftovers was so tasty. This might be a new addiction. Their location is perfect for cruise ship passengers hanging around the area for a few hours to eat, shop, explore or what have they. A poster menu is visible before the entrance. This to me works as an attraction factor. Outdoor and indoor seating are available. Their outdoor seating even extends across the street! Summer evenings are nice and lively outdoors. It's a Neapolitan lifestyle. It's cool to see even as a passerby. Despite the somewhat slow service, I'm still recommending this place for their cibo saporito!

    Absolutely amazing! I've never had Pizza this good before. Fresh, hot, big, extremely affordable, and delicious! Our pizza maker was Raphaël (Hope I spelled that correctly) He was absolutely wonderful, courteous, explained the process and was very kind. Definitely make sure you stop here if you want the best pizza in Naples

    Calfa Pizza! Delicious!

    We stopped for pizza and a beer! The best tasting pizza I've had ever. It's touristy but a few locals to! Family owned with pride of ownership. The brothers are cute! Italian men are fun to watch very affectionate to their friends. So fun! Great people watching spot! Enjoy!!!

    So came here accidentally as our hotel recommended Trattoria Medina but there are 3 in immediate proximity of each other (apparently originality is not a thing here) and I think the recommendation was for the one across the street. We ended up at the southeast one closest to the metro stop. Positives: We we're looking for a lighter app so the waiter offered to make the fried calamari grilled instead, and they did a nice job of it; the seafood pasta was al dente and fine; the requested bread was warm Negatives: The biggest offense was the pizza- first of all the margarita on their menu had eggplant on it, should have been the first sign that something was amiss, so instead we ordered the caprese that that sounded like a margarita. I'll take responsibility for this which is why the rating isn't lower, but it was effectively a sauceless cheese heavy pie- not what I wanted. However, a definite strike against them for a crust that wasn't cooked through. Overall not the last meal in Napoli I was looking for...

    The food was quite tasty - we all had a different style pizza. It was a little unfortunate that we could not get different ingredients, and/or half and half i.e. half cheese, half sausage on one pizza, as they were pretty large sizes for one person. But respecting the culture, I found that this was not common in other restaurants as well. The atmosphere was pretty nice, it was a warm and lovely day, and we sat outside on the patio. the ambiance was pleasant. Surprisingly , we noticed no one taking any food away with them (no to go bag), despite the size of the pizza, I ate pretty much all of it, the crust was delicious and light, and I didn't feel overstaffed or bloated. It was delicious. Afterwards we walked a little across the street and noticed there was another restaurant with the same name. I was not aware there were two locations, I assume same owner- but all in all we had a good experience. And would go again if ever in the area again.

    Lunch outside on a cool November afternoon was very pleasant. The menu is extensive, and this restaurant is huge. Everyone told us to eat pizza in Naples, so we tried some selections available at this location. First up was the first item on their pizza menu. It is a pizza crust with no sauce and no cheese, just fresh cut tomatoes on dough. Not at all like a pizza. More like a bruschetta. Next was pizza diavolo. A lot of pizza has been consumed in Italy, and this one was just OK. Third is the four cheese. Most four cheese pizzas I've had in Italy include some sort of blue cheese, and no sauce. This one had a very strong taste of gorgonzola and lots of cheese overall. This restaurant did not leave either a good or bad impression. The food was average, the service was ok and it is located close to Castle Nuovo, the Royal Palace of Naples and Giardion del Molosiglio making it convenient if you are in the area.

    If I'm not going for pizza, this is one of my favorite places in Naples for dinner. It's truly a cut above the rest. Granted the via Medina around here is terribly seedy (even for Naples), sitting down under the terrace amongst the surrounding Italian babble for a long leisurely summer-night dinner is one of life's purest pleasures. The food is simple and delicious, bringing out the taste of what's featured. Seafood dishes are the best for entrées, but make sure to grab a primi or some "sfizi" first or you'll go home hungry... I should add that I went here on the recommendation of a friend who is also a Naples native!

    I haven't had a server more rude than this in a long time…read more We arrived when the restaurant was full, so we waited at the door. No acknowledgement of any kind by the server, who was a lady walking around inside. She was the only server, but there are only 9 or so tables in the small space so she definitely saw us since she walked by to various tables. When a table left, the bus boy cleaned it and motioned us to sit. Once we were ready to order, we waited. ...and waited, and waited. So we raised our hand for a few minutes straight, while the lady continued to walk to other tables and ignore us for some reason. Then the table next to us got a new party. Finally, the bus boy saw our raised hand came over, and I asked him to call the lady over. He did, we saw. And then she proceeded to take the order of the table next to us, who sat down more than 10 minutes after we did. They even looked at us apologetically. Finally, after putting in that table's order, she came to us. So she clearly knew we were waiting. I don't understand why she was somehow prejudiced to ignore us, but I was about to just leave. And maybe I should have - the pizza honestly wasn't that great. My pizza had mushrooms were canned and flavorless, and chewy thick dough that I didn't end up finishing. We also had a variation of diavola that came with eggplant, and it was slightly better but still nowhere near as flavorful as other spots we tried in Naples. Don't bother coming here. There are so many other spots with better food and service.

The pizza was good but didn't really blow me away. We got the margherita and a two other pizzas which I can't remember the name of. The crust wasn't as chewy or stretchy as I imagined it would be. The edges weren't crispy or very thick like I expected either. There's certain things I expect to see in Neapolitan pizza which I just wasn't getting from Pavia. I got pizza elsewhere in Naples the next day and noticed the crust was much different and had singed crust by the wood fired oven. Pavia is OK but I've honestly had similar pizza back in the states. It's a good option if you're nearby but you may find something better if you look a little further.

It's the real deal!! He makes the art of pizza making look so effortless. A true pizza professional! On the advice of our local tour guide, we started with the Potato Croquette appetizer. The filling is a delicious smoked provola cheese from the mountains. I wish I had taken a picture of it, but the camera didn't eat first. The order comes with 2 large croquettes for sharing. Absolutely delicious! After that, we ordered our pizzas. I selected the Pizza Frittta Completa, and he went with the Come Una Capricciosa. We figured it would be a small portion based on the price. We were wrong. Especially the stuffed and fried pizza. I could have easily shared that one. I've never had anything like it. The filling was an explosion of different flavors. The fried dough was light as air. It's so unique! My husband's pizza was just as fantastic. I didn't get to try it, but he kept commenting on the light crust & freshness of the hand crushed tomatoes and provola cheese. He consumed all of it. Honestly, everything was delicious! This place has changed my view of Neapolitan pizza. I've never been a fan of soggy middles, but this was different. The service was actually very good here. We were able to somehow communicate between our very broken Italian, and their better than average English. The menus are in Italian but you can pull up the english version using the QR code at the table. There are desserts, but we didn't get to try them. There is indoor and covered outdoor seating. This place was packed with local clientele after 1pm. It's very popular. Don't skip it when near Piazza del Plebiscito. I'm still craving that delicious Pizza Fritta.

I haven't eaten tomatoes this good on a pizza before, they felt super authentic and local The crust wasn't as airy as another place I've been, but it was still quite soft and pleasurable to eat. The bottom of the crust, though, was unparalleled. It was so unbelievably soft, and didn't even feel like you were eating pizza. A lot of the pizza I've eaten in the past has included this hard bottom curst that's noticeable, but this bottom crust just floated through each bite like butter. Holding up a slice was so floppy The cheese was also fantastic - I do wish there was slightly more of it - but it was still amazingly good I tried a bit of a vegan pizza that someone at my table ordered - and my god that was astoundingly good - even better than the margherita I had. If I was here again I would definitely order the pizza that had white sauce rather than tomato sauce - because even though the tomatoes were really good, I think I just prefer the alfredo-style sauce on pizza.

    If you're in the historic district in Naples, depending on who and how you ask, you may get pointed…read morein different directions to Sorbillo's. Why? Multiplie locations exist, six in Naples, three on the same street! At first I wondered if it was a "Ray's Pizza" situation* though turns out they are all legitimately related, arising from the success of the pizzeria opened in by Gino Sorbillo. Aside from Naples they have locations in several other Italian cities (Rome, Milan, Bergamo, Turin, Bologna, Padua, and Genoa), even a location on Tokyo. This specific location where the pin is dropped on the Yelp map is for Gino e Tito Sorbillo, eponymously named for the now famous pizza chef and his brother, and the nicer sit-down version of the restaurant.** This is the original shop where it all began, and the business' historical headquarters. Outside, you'll see a couple paper cutouts of the chef, with a chef's coat and a smile. The unwavering popularity of their pizza is undeniable--one look at the crowds outside this storefront and it's immediately apparent. Be prepared as the wait is not for the faint-hearted or the extremely hungry. Luckily I had a snack before arriving (see separate review for Sfogliatelle Mary). 9:05pm: I arrived to a semi-circular crowd centered around the doorway of Gino e Tito Sorbillo. Headed up the hostess stand and she said 20-25 minutes so I figured why not. 9:30pm: the crowd around the door seems to have increased, at least stayed the same, a handful of parties were called up. I realize now that the hostess gives everyone the same estimate. Watching many parties that were there when I arrived--they are still waiting too. 9:50pm: I'm considering leaving at this point since there's significant second-hand smoke from multiple people smoking outside, though the crowd of people in front of the restaurant is going strong. 10:00pm: I go up to the stand and ask how much longer the wait will be, she says "oh you're a single diner right? I forgot, let me check." 10:05pm: she calls my name and ushers me inside. I'm seated at bar table seating at a window which works for me. Staff is quick to pass a menu, and take an order. 10:20pm the wait for the pizza after ordering was faster than expected. It only took about 7-8 minutes. Getting to the pizza--if you look up the definition of a Neapolitan style pizza, this is it! Served straight outta the oven as an entire pie, extremely thin, saucy in the middle, floppy base though evenly leopard-spotted on the bottom and the crust, pillowy and airy crust with a slightly crisp exterior. The tomato sauce was very fresh, and I loved the varying texture of the dough, great baked/slightly charred flavor. I got the Antonio which included regionally sourced cherry tomatoes, olives, capers, anchovies, basil. While I love both ingredients, the fish and capers together unfortunately were way too salty, I had to pick off some of these. Also I have to say as the pizza cooled, the room temp saucy dough wasn't quite as appealing as when it was hot. lol so if you consume it quickly it'll be fine! The serving size was also very generous, see pic with my hand next to the pie, I couldn't finish it in the end! Staff was quite friendly overall and I appreciated that they didn't pack the house or rush diners inside even with so many people waiting. That being said it was still pretty busy so you'll have to flag them down. After the meal, bring your bill up to the register to pay. *if you're familiar with NYC you'll know there are about 20 different Ray's Pizzas all claiming to be the original, which one is real? no one knows... **The other two locations on the same street are more casual, one is a takeout spot probably to handle the overflow from the main restaurant.

I was really caught off guard. The bill was 75 euro, so I said 15 euro. Thats 20% of the entire bill including taxes and other charges. Thats how I tip back home. He said, "19 euros." Lol! So, not only do you tip on top of a tip, they demand more. I accommodated because 4 euros won't kill me, it's not worth the hassle, and I'm not going to let it affect my families enjoyment of this beautiful place. Kind of a gross situation though.
