JOCA Ristorante e Tapas Bar

The best food during our stay in Naples. The aubergine and the fish were delicious and one of the best desserts I’ve had in a long time! The attention to detail was exceptional and their wine recommendations were great! Thank you, we’ll definitely come back on our next visit.

A must-visit gem! My husband and I had an incredible night at Joca restaurant—an experience we will definitely repeat! We indulged in the spectacular 7-course menu pazzo courtesy of my sister from the U.S. gifting us. Let me say the food was phenomenal—an explosion of flavors and sheer creativity with each bite! Every dish was a culinary masterpiece, and we decided to add wine pairing, which the sommelier expertly matched with fantastic regional wines. The icing on the cake? Chef D'Agostino himself came out to greet us! What a pleasant surprise—it made the evening even more memorable! The staff is super attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is the perfect balance of elegance and warmth. We felt pampered from start to finish! I can’t wait to go back and explore more delicious dishes!

I am really surprised by all the positive reviews of this place (including the Michelin mention) as we had a completely different experience. We arrived for our lunch on a very busy weekend and the restaurant was completely empty. We were greeted by an unprofessional person and only some minutes later a waiter arrived. The food was all below average. They only wanted to cook the lamb “al sangue” and for the dish named “Spigola” there was no spigola, so they gave us another fish and charged us the same. This is an expensive restaurant and with all the amazing choices you have in Napoli I really recommend you look for another place. The only slightly positive note was the service from the waiter. The other members of the team were not accommodating at all.

We found this restaurant through the Michelin Guide and were amazed by the competent staff, ambience, food and overall caring and elegant atmosphere. We wish all the best to this young team and hope to come back on the next trip to Napoli!

A Memorable Fine Dining Experience at Joca, Naples Our evening at Joca was nothing short of spectacular. This restaurant offers an exquisite blend of international fine dining with a distinctly French influence, beautifully enhanced by an Italian touch. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed. The atmosphere set the tone for a special evening, and it only got better from there. The main course was so exceptional that we couldn’t resist ordering it a second time—a true testament to the chef’s skill. The wine selection also impressed us. Following extensive recommendations from the knowledgeable staff, we chose a delightful wine from Campi Flegrei, which perfectly complemented our meal. The desserts were the perfect ending to our culinary journey, offering a sweet finish to an already outstanding dinner. Beyond the food, the interior of Joca was equally remarkable. The stylish design, from the elegant furniture to the beautifully crafted menus and unique corporate identity, created a chic yet unpretentious ambiance that added to the overall experience. In summary, Joca is undoubtedly one of the best fine dining experiences in Naples. The combination of exceptional cuisine, impeccable service, and sophisticated yet welcoming décor is rare to find, especially at such a fair price point for the quality offered. I’m already looking forward to returning to Joca on my next visit to Napoli.

The food was a delight- every dish was thoughtful and true to the Neapolitan origin yet with a funky twist. We appreciated learning about each dish’s inspiration from the waiter. Although the food and plating was impeccable, we felt it took longer than normal to be served initially and also the bathroom unfortunately was surprisingly not very clean (no paper towels, towels on the floor, bin and overflowing). We hope those small details can be easily improved because everything else was outstanding and we wish the owners and staff the best as they grow. 👌🏽

Excellent food, exceed expectation, highly recommended
