Casa del Nonno 13 in Roccapiemonte specializes in modern Campanian cuisine. Reviews highlight high food quality, attentive service, and a tranquil, elegant atmosphere featuring pleasant courtyards. Dishes like fennel appetizers, lemon shrimp tagliolini, and beef tartare receive praise. However, some guests note inconsistent pacing, mediocre desserts, and occasional cold service. Value is debated, with some finding prices high relative to portions or expectations. While the setting and hospitality are generally well-regarded, culinary execution varies, leading to mixed experiences regarding overall satisfaction and worth.
Suitable for diners valuing ambiance and traditional-modern fusion, though expect variable culinary consistency.
€€Seafood, Regional Cuisine
The double “u” in this restaurant’s name is not a mistake but was added with the intention of evoking the flow and sound of water that can heard from afar. Here, chef Angelo Borghese demonstrates his passion for the sea through his delicious, precise and personalised recipes in which the highest quality fish takes centre stage. The escarole and anchovy pizza with colatura mayonnaise is excellent, as is the selection of raw and marinated fish dishes.

Overlooking a piazza surrounded by picturesque arcades in the historic centre (a walk around this district is highly recommended), this restaurant run by the Rispoli family continues to uphold its fine-dining traditions. Although a few meat dishes feature on the menu, it is its fish options (mainly traditional, such as tuna with mussels and escabeche-style aubergine) and occasionally imaginative desserts, such as the cheesecake with toffee and raspberry, that are the main attraction here.

Located in central Cava de' Tirreni, Casa Rispoli offers modern cuisine rooted in Campanian traditions. Reviews highlight high food quality, professional service, and a cozy atmosphere, with specific praise for dishes like the Terramia appetizer and monkfish linguine. However, some guests found the food unremarkable or disappointing, citing issues with raw shrimp preparation and undercooked pasta. Criticism also extends to high wine prices and occasional service inconsistencies. While many describe it as a top choice in Cava, others feel expectations set by its reputation were not met. It suits diners seeking authentic local flavors but advises managing expectations regarding innovation and consistency.
Suitable for diners seeking authentic Campanian flavors who can tolerate minor service fluctuations; manage expectations regarding innovation.
