PORTO, NAPLES

How to eat, drink and dress well! Living 'la vita bella' in Naples port area

curated by

The Romeo Hotel

Sassy, vibrant and a little rough around the edges, Naples is a city of contrasts. One minute you’ll be sipping an apertivo on a picturesque piazza, the next you’ll be run down by a Vespa on a graffiti-addled side-street. One part gritty street life, one part history and culture, it is these stark differences that lend the place its charm. And let’s not forget the food. This is, after all, the birthplace of pizza and its location on the water means an abundance of the freshest seafood. The sun-soaked, glittering harbor is home to the Romeo Hotel. They gave us their pick of places to eat, drink and shop while strolling around their neighbourhood.

    PESCHERIA MATTIUCCI

    By day, this unassuming seafood shop sells fresh catches from the Mediterranean, but as the sun sinks, locals gather around high tables to line their stomachs before heading out for the night. Soak up the cheerful and rowdy vibe while sampling pesce crudo (raw fish) accompanied by bread, fresh fennel and good local wine. Vico Belledonne a Chiaia 27
