L'Europeo is the last pizzeria still in the hands of the Mattozzis, the most prolific family in Neapolitan pizza: Luigi Mattozzi got his first licence in 1852 and had 17 children, eight of them pizzaioli. This branch dates to 1911 and took the name L'Europeo in 1961, when Eugenio Mattozzi wanted to stand apart from the other family shops; his son Alfonso has run the dining room since 1965. It is a trattoria first, and only a few pizzas a night come out of its 19th-century oven, eaten as a starter the old way.

Group of 5 of us went for lunch on our last day in Naples. Arrived right on 12:30 as they opened and they welcomed us with a great table. Impeccable service, very kind waiters even though we don’t speak Italian. Delicious food and great traditional interior.

Nice place with the spirit of Napoli, good quality food but EXAGGERATEDLY highly priced. The owner and the waiters were so kind, we got offered an appetizer to endure hunger waiting our turn to be seated. But nothing is for free; as a …

I liked very much the “timelessness” of the place. Very much Italy in the 1960s! Equally, the food is nice and simple yet very tasty. Where else to eat “pasta e patate” if not here!

This is a typical Neapolitan restaurant, and it’s plenty of Neapolitan customers, which means you can find here the real, and well done, traditional recipes. You can find on the walls a lot of pictures telling the long story of the restaurant, which was started about 100 years ago and is now at the third generation managed by the same family. There is attention during the service. Appetizers with buffalo mozzarella, eggplant parmigiana and fried zucchini flowers, then special soups with beans and seafood or chickpeas and chestnuts, then pasta alla genovese or puttanesca with amberjack and capers. To finish babà with rum and caprese chocolate cake. All served on timely manner for a table of 10 people. The price is right.

Authentic Italian and an easy walk from the pier where the cruises come! We were ugly Americans on accident, though: we aren't used to customs. We ordered 4 pizza and no wine for a party of 8. It was enough food but they can't very
