Description

Major refurbishment at this renowned restaurant has given it the feel of an informal, welcoming contemporary bistro. Don’t miss the “Napule” tasting menu, which offers just four courses that include anchovies, cavatelli pasta and Neapolitan meatballs in a nod to the owner’s origins. Over time, the wine list has been extended and improved, with wines now stored in a new cellar. Some of the ingredients used in the dishes can also be purchased to take home.
