Set in a former monastery overlooking the Gulf of Naples and with beautiful panoramic views of the city, this hotel offers the perfect mixture of tradition, history and modern comforts. The historic monastery was carved into the hillside in the 16th century, and is backed by the San Martino Vineyard, which has been declared a place of artistic and historical importance. Guests will delight in the lush roof garden with two swimming pools and sweeping city views, as well as the hotel's contemporary art exhibition and many preserved and restored original frescoes. Rooms are set in former monks' cells, each carefully renovated to preserve some period details, and guests can wake up to a buffet breakfast and sample Neapolitan specialties in the three in-house restaurants. For a romantic getaway or a delightful holiday spent exploring Naples, this distinguished hotel offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

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. Generous in every way, from the warm welcome to the cuisine right up to dessert, Pao

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.

It’s a challenge for the cuisine to compete with so much beauty but young chef Domenico Candela is more than equal to the task.

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,

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 Ge

Situated on the ground floor of the splendid Banco di Napoli building that is also home to the Gallerie d'Italia museum, this restaurant also includes a bar and pasticceria. The varied restaurant menu features international dishes (for a quicker meal), fish based around recipes from around the world, alongside more creative dishes and regional specialities from Campania. The latter, from the aubergine parmigiana to the candele pasta served with a Neapolitan ragu, and the popular babà, are truly delicious and showcase all the colours and flavours of Neapolitan cuisine.
