"I am proud to find these “hole-in-the-wall” facilities. a cozy and true mum and pop shop. they can not expect great things from this place as they approach it from the front, but they would be wrong about eating and they would miss what I think is an authentic Italian experience. I knew they were closed at 6 o'clock, so I quickly went there to eat with enough time before I close. arrived at 5:25PM (on Sunday), there were local Italian families just leaving the restaurant. I took this as a good sign of local approval and authenticity. the owners seemed a little surprised to see that an American comes, or perhaps a little concerned about the proximity to the closing time. yet they welcomed me and I ordered the roasted otopus, bruschetta, pistachio ricotta tart (for dessert), and coffee. all these dishes were excellent. the sauce made the dish really with the roasted otopus. they will notice that the dessert I have chosen is not on the menu and I think they can turn through some options. I had actually asked for tiramisu, but I was informed that only the pistazit ricotta tart was available. it tasted as great as it looked. I might want the taste of a pistachio kanoli. the coffee was also excellent and in the typical Italian style and in the quantity – what we would simply call an espresso in the usa. this place seems to be really proud and is known for its seafood, so I would probably try to make a larger seafood option next time."

"The food at Da Vittorio is fresh and the service friendly and fast. If you are in or near Vomero, this trattoria should not be missed as they are just three blocks north of Stazione Medaglie D'Oro. You will not eat any better in Naples for such a low price. The only negative is that they are closed for dinner ... Mama Mia! You walk in, order wonderful, fresh, local food at extremely reasonable prices and either eat at one of their eight tables or take it home to enjoy. They have an abundance of Neapolitan favorites to choose from, including several primi (pastas, including gnocchi) and secondi (meat/fish dishes salsiccia e patate sausage and potatoes, polpette meatballs, cotoletta Milanese breaded cutlet, bistecca steak, and pesce spada swordfish, just to name a few as well as contorni (vegetables), dolci (sweets), caffe (coffee), and digestivi (limoncello, etc) ... all for just €11 per person. Four of us, we all ordered primi with three having the oven baked pasta in meat sauce with provola and one the pasta with zucchini in a cream sauce). The red sauce on the baked pasta was just a tad too salty, but otherwise delicious. The pasta cooked perfectly and just enough ground beef and cheese to pasta/sauce ratio, the dish was excellent. The pasta pana con zucchini was much lighter and delicious For our second dishes, one abstained and two had pan fried provola afumicata while I ordered the polpettoncino, a small meatloaf stuffed with prosciutto (ham) and mozzarella. The provola was superb with just enough cheese to not overwhelm the palate. The meatloaf was excellent although the salty red sauce detracted slightly from the overall experience. Coming to just €11 per person, including primo, secondo, water/wine, fruit, coffee, and limoncello, we ate to our hearts delight. The only negatives being the slightly salty red sauce on the pasta and meatloaf and the fact that they are only open for lunch. Otherwise, this is an excellent trattoria and an outstanding value!
