• ARIA★ Michelin The ambience at this hushed and discreet restaurant couldn’t be more different from the hustle and bustle of the elegant district in which it is situated. The softly lit dining rooms are elegant and minimalist in style, with lamps creating pools of light illuminating the dishes conjured up by Paolo Barrale. Originally from Cefalù but now settled in Campania, the chef’s cuisine is inspired by the culinary traditions of both regions which he reinterprets with ease, occasionally creating more personalised dishes.

• Il Ristorante Alain Ducasse Napoli★ Michelin Alain Ducasse, one of the great names in contemporary fine dining, has arrived in Naples, opening this restaurant in the former premises of the prestigious Ristorante Il Comandante. Situated on the 9th floor of the ROMEO hotel overlooking the port, the restaurant boasts fine views of Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples, especially at sunset when the colours are truly spectacular. Meanwhile, the modern dining room, decorated completely in black, is equally as stunning as its surroundings, as are the finishing touches added to the dishes in the dining room by the excellent serving staff.

• Ostaria PignatelliBib A stone's throw from the neoclassical Villa Pignatelli, with the municipal gardens in front and the sea just beyond, lies a haven of authentic charm: you can sit outside or inside, where the décor is reminiscent of an elegant tavern. “You only live once, so eat well” is the motto here, and when you see the dishes arriving at your table, you can't help but agree. Neapolitan classics executed to perfection and served in generous portions: from “mozzarella in carrozza” (fried mozzarella sandwiches) to cuoppo of fried anchovies, from mixed pasta with potatoes and provola cheese to “candele alla Ge735m
• La Locanda Gesù VecchioBib In the picturesque alleyways of Spaccanapoli, an authentic trattoria unfolds across two spaces – at different street numbers (the other at number 4) – yet sharing the same soul: closely set tables in simple rooms, a lively and informal atmosphere, and young, smiling service. The cuisine is a hymn to Neapolitan tradition, with dishes that evoke the aromas of home: pasta mista with potatoes and smoked provola, crispy fried salt cod on escarole cream, and the lemon caprese, fresh and fragrant, perhaps enjoyed with a small glass of artisanal limoncello. Reservations and punctuality are essential, 1.7km

Here, dishes burst with vivid colors and Mediterranean aromas, accented by contemporary touches that reveal personality and culinary exploration. Two blind tasting menus invite discovery, or guests may opt for a well-balanced à la carte selection of land and sea, where each ingredient shines with clarity, lifted by subtle exotic nuances that awaken the senses. The wine cellar, dominated by Campanian labels, exudes tradition, yet upon 359m

• 3.0 Ciro Cascella Fans of Neapolitan pizza will be in their element at this restaurant, where the pizzas are light, with a larger and softer crust, thanks to the long fermentation and leavening process – some people come here simply to eat the crust, it’s so good. There’s also a wide choice of excellent toppings, including top-quality ingredients from Campania. Gluten-free options and dough made from different flours are also available.508m
• Joca A contemporary, on-trend atmosphere in one of the liveliest pedestrian areas, just steps from the elegant Riviera di Chiaia. Here, chef Gianluca D’Agostino, with solid experience both in the city and beyond, presents gourmet cuisine that plays on creativity and Campanian influences. Alongside the main menu, a dedicated tapas section: not Spanish-inspired, but rather reinterpretations of Italian and local classics in a smaller format. Among the most compelling offerings on the gastronomic journey are the sweetbreads with puntarelle, lupin bean mayonnaise, and mullet bottarga, while the main cou548m
