A Michelin star with some exquisite dishes and some rather average dishes: Restaurant Palazzo Petrucci (20. October 2024)
The Palazzo Petrucci is located a bit in the outskirts of Naples, and it’s quite a walk until you arrive there (so, better to take a cab). Once you’re seated on the first floor where the first course is served, you also get to enjoy a typical drink of the restaurant, i.e., the “Negroni Palazzo […]
Visiting an institution in Napoli: Restaurant Umberto (19. October 2024)
Apparently, the Umberto is an institution in Napoli, so, I was quite curious to discover how that institution would be.

I was looking forward to some proper and authentic Italian food, so the Di Martino Sea Front Pasta Bar sounded very promising. And I must say, I was positively surprised by the whole experience – or at least by most of it. Once you’re seated, you’re brought some “bread with olive oil” and while the […]
