Certain restaurants exist which embody a whole city. With its memorable atmosphere, “La Mattonella” is the essence of Naples. The walls are adorned with old, colourful majolica tiles; the tablecloths pure plastic. Older, more intellectual couples from the neighbourhood congregate here, alongside other food-wise guests. The fare is simple Neapolitan cuisine, featuring specialties like “baccalà umido” or “baccalà fritto” (dried cod with tomato, braised or fried). One of smart-travelling’s favourite restaurants.
