The new seafood table blending excellence and tradition in Naples
Discover the unique flavours of Campanian tradition in Naples
In this magical location on Borgo Marinari in Naples, the culinary direction is led by Mariano Teano, an experienced and talented chef known for his past at Sacrestia and Cantinella. Mariano is a true culinary master, capable of transforming fresh, high-quality ingredients into extraordinary dishes. He is entrusted with the daily catch, selected with rigour and passion, paired with excellent products that enhance the authentic flavours of Campanian tradition. Among these are the renowned Caramello and Principe di Napoli tomatoes, supplied by Giovanni Trinchese of “Eccellenze Notane,” a fortunate encounter that happened right on the Molo del Levante, where ingredient freshness is a fundamental value.
As for the pasta, the choice is clear: Setaro, a true emblem of Campanian craftsmanship that guarantees high quality, whose unmistakable flavour is the result of careful and traditional processing. In the pantry, reliance is placed on high-quality products, such as those from "Strino" of Santa Lucia, while Davide Pompeo supplies the restaurant with his Capuozzo mozzarellas, along with fine cured meats and cheeses perfect for composing inviting boards and aperitifs enjoyed at sunset.
A triumph of flavour in the heart of Borgo Marinari, Naples
The menu stands out for its distinct flavours and refined ideas, capable of winning over even the most discerning palates. Reigning supreme is the “Linguina alla Luciana,” prepared with fresh octopus, capers, and olives: a true queen of the Borgo that elegantly tells the local tradition. Next are the paccheri with monkfish wrapped in a creamy pumpkin sauce, which enhances the taste of the sea, and the fettuccine with sea truffles, served atop a delicate prawn and lime tartare—a marriage of freshness and flavour that surprises with every bite. Crispy fried dishes, succulent grills, and desserts all crafted by Gianni Marigliano complete the culinary experience with a touch of creativity.
The wine list, although modest, is well balanced and offers a selection of high-quality labels: notable among them are Astroni and Pagano, perfect companions to a cuisine that values substance over splendour, allowing the dishes to be further enhanced.
On the pier, where the northeasterly breezes meet Bourbon memories, a kept promise takes shape: a triumph of flavours that transports guests on a unique gastronomic journey. And here, in this little corner of paradise, they find it.
