I had read that this was #1 pizza spot in Naples, as well as the world potentially. It was a fun experience but I'm glad I wasn't there at height of tourist season. I was there the end of April on a Saturday. There is a line out the door all day long. You take a number (this is not... More

I lived in Napoli for a year and really loved going to this place (3 times when friends came to visit). Yes, it is in the touristy pizza area of Naples. Yes, it has a photo of Julia Roberts from the movie. But... the pizza is awesome. The wait staff are not friendly, you don't get to choose toppings (with... More

One of the most famous pizzeria's in Naples L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele definately worth the effort if you 're a big fan of pizza. Mind that even though the pizza is excellent you should have to wait for a table for minutes (even hours) therefore you may want to chose a takewaway pizza.

This place came highly recommended to us by friends from Italy, we came around 8pm and expected to wait around 1hour (which we did), we bought a beer to have outside so it wasn't too bad. It is really rustic and casual- the staff are not overly attentive or polite, but it's not really needed in a place like this.... More

I was excited to visit the famous da Michele pizza restaurant. Me and bf arrived early to avoid the crowd and following a blank stare from the lead waiter we were seated at a dirty crowded table. We quickly realised that the staff were terrible, rude and obnoxious however this behaviour soon changed when they were fishing for a tip!... More

Yes, this pizzeria is not in the old city, but is close to and if you ask in info tourist center they will tell you and with map you going to find very easy. It’s really worth it to visit this place full of history! Looks like a restaurant for fast food and you’ll share the table with other people,... More

This is a pizzeria, it's very simple. Don't expect to order anything else. In fact you can have either Margarita or Marinara. Double cheese if you want on the Margarita. No cheese on the Marinara. Go early or be prepared to wait. Service incredibly fast, pizza incredibly good. We had one of each, a beer and a bottle of water,... More

The pizza is very big and incredibly cheap. The taste is just OK, nothing special (mine was even slightly burnt). I really can't see the point of so much talking about this place. The lines will take a good part of your day, the restaurant itself is quite unconfortable and the staff is far from polite. In a word: don't.

The best was in Bari. Etrance was crowded, we wait for 40 minutes. We have ordered more then we can eat. This is a normal pizzeria. Do not expect sth.very special for 5 Euro ( double tapping). In any case great value for money.

There is not so much to say except this place is fantastic. Yes you will have to wait - possibly a very long time - but even my desperately impatient boyfriend agreed it was worth it. My suggestion would be go early. There are only 2 choices Marinara or Margherita and both are delicious. The pizzas are fantastic value, we... More
