Many Napoli guides will have Tufo on their lists, which I feel is an oversight. I found Tufo to be the 'fast food of Italian' during my experience. The food was OK, it was basic authentic pasta dishes. Where I see the negatives are the speed of service (it was all about flipping tables for the line outside) and the gimmicky pasta wheel where they spin some of the pasta dishes before serving. As soon as you finish something the servers are hovering to take it away and/or get you to order something else. I just don't have time for being rushed in an Italian restaurant; this is not the norm for Italy.
I would suggest there are more authentic places to go while visiting Naples; just save your time than visit Tufo. read more
