Trattoria da Nennella

I was excited to eat here after seeing the great reviews, but I didn’t love it. I felt very rushed by the waiter– I was in and out in 30 minutes and they took my plates before I was finished. I had the pasta with potatoes and cheese, which was okay, and then the fried mozzarella. I wish I had gone with something else, but oh well. it was a lot of food for 12 € plus a big bottle of water and bottle of wine were included.

This place was intense in a good way. Extremely loud and busy. We were seated inside right on the edge of the outdoor seating. The menu was in Italian but our waiter gave a quick translation of a few items and we were on our way to order. The food came out extremely fast. Our pasta dishes were just ok but we really enjoyed the other courses we ordered. The price couldn’t be beat with our meals and wine for only 24 €. The experience of dining there and people watching was the best part.

My new favorite. Liveliest restaurant I have eaten at in Napoli. 15E 3 course dinner is a great deal — included bottle of wine and water. I saw many pastas and segundi I will return to try. Roasted porchetta was fantastic and roasted swordfish looked worth a return trip alone. Similarly pasta potate e provalone was great but The pacciere rustica or pomodoro fresco looked great as we’ll. The roasting vice fried looked great. Staff was very friendly and entertaining dancing and singing to lively music and cheering every time someone tipped them at checkout. Very popular, so a reservation may be a good idea, although they do keep expanding the dining area into surrounding alleys to accommodate. Next to a popular apperitivo bar if you have to wait (and desert place if anyone can eat more than 3 courses plus whole fruit). Authentic Neopolitan food. No rush — I didn’t notice 40 people waiting for my table until after I left.

Definitely get here early cause it gets packed!
Antipasto was delicious (salami, prosciutto, fried mozzarella, fried ricotta, eggplant, olives). Got the pasta with potatoes and cheese for first course and it was good-​a bit on the salty side. One person with us got the spaghetti with sausage which I wish I had gotten because it was great. Got the roasted steak for second course and it was cooked well. Not the best cut of meat but still good. I tried some of the other plates from other people with me (roasted chicken and salmon)-both were good! Then we got bananas, grapes, and peaches for desert. Our table got 2 bottles of house red wine, 3 bottles of naturale water, and 2 cokes. All this for 15 euro a person! Fantastico!
To the people complaining about the service– get over yourselves. They were very accommodating and even translated italian to english for us. When we tipped them as we were paying bill they all cheered. We were offered caffe or frozen lemoncello as we left.
Was a great atmosphere! Will definitely go back!

We waited a few minutes for a table at the lively Trattoria de Nennella. We sat down and the waiter opened up some bottles of water for the table as we sat and looked at the menu. Not even five minutes and another waiter comes over and snatches a menu off the table that my father was trying to read to give to the neighboring table. Rude indeed, my father had us get up and leave. Both waiters rushed over to apologize after seeing what had happened but the damage was done and to make matters worse, they had the nerve to ask us who was going to pay for the water that NOONE drank. Tab on the rude waiter!
Rude and Horrible customer service that reflects poorly on a restaurant.

We were looking for a place near out hotel for dinner. Stumbled into this joint because we saw a huge crowd outside.
This place is absolutely authentic and is frequented almost exclusively by locals. Let me tell you what authentic means. Picture the waiter reaching over another table to hand us the our order while he is yelling at the top of his lungs to his boss while is boss is shouting back at him.
The place is loud, chaotic, and leaves you nervous and edgy for the entire dinner.
But, the food was fucking great. Hands down the best food we had in our entire trip in Italy.
We went back the next dinner and once you figure them out is not as uncomfortable any more.

Followed advice given by a wee woman in a shop in Spanish Quarter. Simply asked waiter to serve us some dishes he recommended. Loved the idea that the drink selection was «red or white». Ate magnificently, with great bread served along with water to the point we couldn’t manage another drop. All served with enthusiasm.
The Bill? 24 euro for 2!
Go eat there and savour the whole mad experience of the Spanish Quarter.

To be fair, the experience here is great. If you sit inside near the kitchen, you get to witness the waitstaff hilariously yelling at each other the entire time – excellent entertainment!
My issue was our waiter. Maybe he just didn’t want to deal with Americans, but in all the times I’ve been to Italy, I have never received such horrible service. All of the other waiters seemed wonderful!
To start, he didn’t give us the wine we asked for. When I reminded him, he slammed the wine down onto the table without giving us extra glasses, so we had to choose between drinking water or wine at one time.
Next, we ordered our secondi and he didn’t ask what we wanted for our contorni – resulting in us not getting a vegetable with our main at all.
When we were done with out main, he saw that we were finished but blatantly ignored our table for 25 minutes, even through there was a line to get in. When we caught his eye, he looked away and proceeded to help the other tables right around us.
Finally, when it was time for fruit, everyone else got fresh plates, but we had to eat our fruit over the remains of our main course – eating fruit over leftover meat is really not appetizing at all!
So basically, the food is good, the atmosphere is wonderful. I just really hope you don’t get our waiter if you aren’t Italian! He was more tan than the others with black hair, and his shirt had «chicco» embroidered in the front (none of the other waiters had names on their shirts)

Look, I don’t know much about food. I basically just shove it into my face in a vain attempt to fill the void in my soul. But let me just say this: this place serves the best pasta I’ve ever had.

To be honest, was never a big fan of pasta… until I came here!
The service is fantastic, very friendly staff and also accommodated my need for veg. option. The whole 3 course dinner cost me less than 15 euro!!!
I was lucky that I found a table, just after 10 minutes the restaurant was completely full and people waiting outside.
Maybe I was early for dinner (7:30 pm) by Italian standards :)
Shit, I can’t even get a take-​away pizza for that price in Switzerland…
P. S. on our way out, we got free espresso :-)

I came at noon, before the crowd. The waiter is intimidating… he doesn’t approach everyone, but just looks at who he likes the best and walks up to them and yells «Vai». Otherwise, he walks around yelling and pointing. One must be assertive to get his attention. Once you give your order he doesn’t write it down, he just yells it to the other waiters. I was front and center on the patio for the «performance». Once the music starts, the waiters stand around in a circle singing and dancing, saying they want to find some pretty girls to dance with. At one point, the waiter started dancing with a girl that was eating at the restaurant, dipping and spinning. The food was good, although I didn’t eat more than one course of pasta provole e patate because I was working on the large jug of white wine they had given me. I don’t like wasting things. After the meal, I think it only cost about seven euros…

You come here for the experience. We arrived around 8h30 and had a 20 minute wait for a table. You stand in line with locals and other tourists in a small street in the Spanish Quarter. Some went to get a drink a couple of doors further. We saw that they did not have trouble taking them with them when they got a table.
Once you get to your table you get a piece of paper with primi, secondi. You just pick a couple of them and share. We took the red housewine which was ok. You pay for the number of plates you order. Sometimes we just pointed at something we saw at a neighbouring table. We were satisfied with 7 for the 4 of us. We did pay less than 40 euro in total. A bargain.
Staff was very loud and seemed to enjoy themselves shouting at eachother and the clients.
It really is an experience I would not have want to miss. Not for a romantic dinner.

Stumbled upon this trattoria due to Unilocal!Definitely not a tourist place. 3-​course dinner/​wine/​fruit for € 12. We only had 2 courses and wine, so I was charged € 15 for the two of us! Food was fresh and tasty, and the atmosphere was lovingly boisterous.

Véritable trattoria authentique, Hyper populaire, survoltée, pour une poignée d’euros, vous vous plongez dans une ambiance napolitaine, on mange à côté d’inconnus, on bout dans des verres en plastic, ici pas de manières

Great local restaurant with a menu that changes nightly. Everything is fresh and comes out of the kitchen quickly. Went there 2 nights in a row because we loved it so much. Very reasonable prices and the house red wine goes well with everything. This is a place for locals as well — so plan to get there right when they open at 7 so that you can get a table.

No Frills, but lots of fun — VERY noisy — heading back tonight to see if it was as good as last time.

An old-​school trattoria tucked away in the Spanish Quarters in Naples. The place is lively, friendly and the food is very economical and good. I had appetizers, first course, second course, side dish with house wine all for 15 euros. I recommend getting whatever the house special is for that day; it will be fresh and delicious. A slice of local Naples, off the beaten path.

Very good local restaurant, very popular with locals, low price.
don’t be too late if you want a place.

Herrlich! Kann mich dem Vorposter nur anschliessen. Die Atmosphäre ist quirrlich aber dennoch lässig unaufgeregt. Die Kellner haben sich rührend um uns gekümmert und uns alles auf englisch hin und her erklärt. Preis– Leistung ist fast unschlagbar, besonders bei der Frische! Man sollte ab 13:00 Uhr etwas Zeit einplanen zum Warten, die sich allerdings tausendmal lohnt! Vielen Dank für diesen genialen Tip an chiemgauerandy. Der war Gold wert!

Restaurant authentique au rapport qualité/​prix imbattable ! C’est brut de décoffrage mais excellent ! Arrivez pour dîner avant 20h30 si vous voulez éviter la queue.

Was für ein Erlebnis! Um nicht all zu entspannt nach Hause zu kommen, haben wir nach Ischia noch einen Tag Neapel angehängt. Wir verabredeten uns mit unseren einheimischen Gastgebern zum Abendessen und sie meinten, wir gingen in ein typisches und ursprüngliches Lokal im spanischen Viertel der Altstadt. Das Quartieri Spagnoli ist das Neapel der Klischees — steile und enge Gassen mit Wäsche über den Gassen, Häuserschluchten, Motos die auf und ab sausen. Inmitten dieses Viertels ist das Lokal «Nenella», das bei Einheimischen extrem populär ist, so dass sich gerade am Wochenende endlose Schlangen davor bilden. Doch langweilig wird es hier beim Warten nicht, denn die Besitzer des Lokals stellen immer wieder Kisten mit Wein und Pappbecher zur freien Bedienung für die Wartenden raus. Somit wird das Warten schon zum Erlebnis, es geht neapolitanisch lebhaft zu. Trotz der langen Schlange geht es irgendwann schnell, dass wir drinnen sind. Auch innen wird nicht lange gefragt, was man trinken wolle — es wird eine Flasche Wein und eine Flasche Mineralwasser auf jeden Tisch geknallt, kurz darauf geht der Kellner durch und verkündet die Pasta, die es heute gibt. Wenige Minuten nach Bestellung ist diese auf dem Tisch. Beim zweiten Gang geht es genau so. Wir bekommen noch ständig irgendwelche Zusatzgänge, die wir nicht bestellten, als Geschenk des Hauses. Jeder Gang kostet hier 3 Euro, weil die Zutaten frisch vom Markt sind. Irgendwie umgekehrt wie in Deutschland, wo man mehr zahlt, wenn die Sachen frisch sind… Wir fragen abschließend nach einem Digestiv und es kommt eine ganze Flasche hausgemachter Limoncello auf den Tisch. Es ist egal, wieviel wir uns davon nehmen. Alles ist hier hektisch, schnell, laut — und unterhaltsam neapolitanisch. Besser als Kino.
