Ciro a Mergellina
Via Mergellina 17/21
Tel: 081-681780
Big enough for 4 hungry adults, the maxi-pizza is covered with capers, basil and tomatoes then smothered under a thick layer of mozzarella cheese.
Unforgettable! But don't forget to avoid Saturday nights and the August crowds.

It's a typical old-style Neopolitan cantina patronized by show-business personalities and politicians which has been run since 1880 by the Canfora family.
