Alba

A delightful variety of vegetarian, pasta, and meat pizza slices and other savory dishes ready for carry out or to eat at the restaurant. The owner Stefano is multi-​lingual, competent, friendly, out going, and respectful, making the experience nutritious, efficient and enjoyable.

Thanks to my friend Francesca F. I have discovered this new restaurant in the Mergellina area, just a block from the seaside, on a cute little square.
As soon as you enter you notice the contrast between the modern design and the tuff cave that hosts the restaurant, and despite being very technological with a TV screen next to each table (with remote to select your favorite show or even USB port to play a presentation during a work lunch) the flavors you’re going to taste are very local and traditional.
In fact, besides all the typical Neapolitan dishes and pizzas, Alba offers a selection of «gourmet pizzas», made with local biological ingredients selected to enjoy the real taste of Campania. We had two different kinds of pizza margherita: the Corbarì (with local red cherry tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella) and the Pomo d’Oro (with local yellow tomatoes and mozzarella. Both tasted delicious, but I may suggest to try the yellow tomatoes as you won’t find them easily elsewhere.
Together with these pizzas we enjoyed a tasty weiss double malt beer with a slightly fruity flavor, recommended by the waiters as the best fit for the food we were having. And trust me the union was really perfect.
To sum it up, amazing food and very good service. A place I will definitely visit again during my next trips to Naples.
