The Top 3 Seafood Stops

2nd in our 3 Part Italian Series

When you talk about Italian food, Naples sure makes a statement. In Naples, eating just doesn’t comprise of a table, knife, and fork. On the contrary, eating in Naples is more of a ritual that reflects the culture of the city.

In the Campania region, food expresses love and gratitude, and cooking (along with the football) is the activity that gathers people together. And while Naples is mostly known for its pasta and pizza, eating seafood in the city is a one-of-its-kind experience.

Naples offers you a wide array of fish-based dishes that you will be spoilt for choice. Examples include Not
fried seafood spaghetti with clams, and fish soup. You can, in fact you should, go for oven-baked local fish
with cherry tomatoes and olive oil.

If you find it difficult to choose your fish dish, you should ask for the chef recommendation. Find a good restaurant, and you can enjoy a seafood feast. When it comes to the best seafood place, one can think of many restaurants.

Consider Osteria da Antonio where you will simply love the homemade pasta with clams, and frochettes. If you are on a budget, avoid the tomato and mozzarella appetizers for they are small yet pricey. The restaurant is located at Via Depretis 143, Naples, Campania.

Another great place is Mimi alla Ferraovia, which is a 3rd generation, family-run place. The restaurant, located on Via Alfonso D’Aragona 19/21, opens in the evening at 7 p.m. All seafood items are excellent, but you should leave it to your waiter to prepare the hors d’oeuvre.

Finally, you have Pescheria Azzura, located at Via Nuova Portamedina in the Fish Market. This restaurant is known for its freshness. Everything is perfectly cooked. Customers have described it as a ‘gem’ in the heart of Naples. The mixed fried fish is highly recommended.
