Ostaria Pignatelli

An incredible dining experience in a cozy and peaceful setting. The highlight was definitely the outstanding service — Sérgio and Francesca were both exceptional. They patiently answered all our questions, and Francesca even cleaned the fish right at our table, which made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended!

This is a very good restaurant with local food, recognized with a Bib Gourmand from Michelin. I would recommend to do a table reservation a couple of days prior your planned visit as this place can get pretty busy. The stuffed pumpkin flowers and stuffed peppers were amazing, paccheri pastificio carminiano with cernia was great too, the red tuna tataki was a bit boring, tiramisu was super tasty but the crunchy at the amarena dessert was way too sweet… overall: there are some positions in the menu which are extraordinary but also some which did not hit the spot for me… I also need to give one less star for the staff which wasn’t too nice and not very helpful. They also mixed up our order which was super unprofessional, especially because our waiter was writing everything down! I received my order as planned but my partner had to wait extra time for his dish to be prepared… this was pretty annoying and we did not even get a „sorry” for it. Should not happen in a Michelin restaurant.

Unbelievable experience given by a great team who show a lot of care and devotion to what they do which is provide authentic Neapolitan dishes in a great atmosphere. Alessandro served us and was patient and happy to deal with our broken Italian and my wife's Spanish. Can't say enough about the "TEAM" as everything was done efficiently with an unhurried feel. Can even watch the kitchen action going on thru a window in the entry way. Giulio the owner initially greeted us and checked on us frequently making us feel very welcomed. The mozzarella de bufalo was fresh and juicy served with tomatoes you can taste the sun in!. Sweet stuffed peppers with veal demiglace like nothing I have ever tasted. Stuffed zucchini flowers were light and not over breaded with plenty of ricotta filling. We had the Genovese candles and the spaghettis nerano. Now that I know what these are supposed to taste like I will never order them again in America!! The other tell tale sign about what is going on here were the other clients. Did not see tourists here. A bunch of young Italian buddies celebrating some special occasion. A couple of Italian families 3 generations deep having dinner together with their beautiful bambini. And some seventy something year old couples having their traditional dishes of octopus, sardines, and pastas which will keep them alive and healthy until they are centenarians. It was a blessing just being here. Experiencing the the food and service put it over the top. We will anxiously await a return visit with Giulio and his team when in Napoli again.

We had dinner here our last night in Naples. Excellent food and strong wine list. We shared everything and the Ostaria was good enough to split our plates for us. I highly recommend this restaurant. Good atmosphere and nice mix of locals and tourists

Let me start with the positive: the food was amazing. Great fish and pasta options. The negative: bad service and lack of a paper menu. For this kind of restaurant, the QR menu seems cheap. I like to read my menu on a nice piece of paper and not stare at the phone while talking to the other people at the table about the options. We asked about a paper menu and there were none. It can’t be that hard to print the menu on a few pages and have them as an options for those who don’t prefer the electronic version. Not too mention the Wi-Fi was spotty and not good cell service to load the menu. We also felt rushed while waiting for that menu to load on our phones. Our server was borderline rude. Probably with a different waiter and a paper menu, the experience could have been quite different, but ours was disappointing.

Really happy I found this restaurant, I had a very nice dinner. The veal tonnato as well as the mussels was very good. I would like to go back to try some other dishes. Definitely recommend this restaurant and the service was great

Make sure you book in advance! The service is just on point, all the staff is very attentive and helpful. The food is really good, fresh and flavorful! (Don’t share!) The lightest and fluffiest tiramisu you’ll ever have

We recently dined at Ostaria Pignatelli and were thoroughly impressed by the overall experience. The meatballs were absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned, and left us wanting more. It's no surprise that this restaurant has earned a Michelin 2024 recognition—well-deserved for the quality and attention to detail in their dishes. However, we did notice a few flies around our table, which was a bit distracting. A simple fix like installing a fan could help make the dining experience even more enjoyable. Despite this minor issue, the food and service were exceptional, and we would definitely recommend it!
