Sea Front Di Martino Pasta - Naples

Amazing pasta tasting menu if you're visiting Napoli and want to know how the master cooks make real pasta, this is the place. It's also the perfect restaurant to educate Americans that most of our Italian restaurants at home serve subpar pasta. The place is unorthodox and reminiscent of eating at a hibachi or omakase restaurant. There are multiple tasting menus to choose from at different price points. We had the 60£ 5 course menu. It's fascinating to watch the chef cook in front of you with their amazing technique the preparation, timing, and plating are pure perfection and enjoyable. All the pasta is flavorful and cooked perfectly. It's a great cultural dining experience and worth the detour if you're in Napoli.

Very bad experience- we were not allowed to sit and eat, they sent us away! We went there at 19.30 and there were just 2 tables that were taken. After going around all day in pompeii we just wanted to eat something quick and go to our hotel ... but no! After sitting on one of the at least 8 free tables and waiting around 5 minutes we were told we had to go because theyre all booked out and its not possible to eat there without a reservation... okay, we went to the hotel, showered and went by 30-30 mins after. Still not full. After dinner also went around the place (its just next to our hotel) ... almost empty! Such a pitty that we didnt have the chance to try to food... but maybe it was for the best.

We had lunch here on the terrace, which was shadowed well (very useful in the hot July sun and heat). Excellent variety of tasteful (pasta) dishes! Maybe a little on the heavy side, but we got very good advice from the kind and helpful staff not to order too much.

Eating is excellent, cook gianluca and the team made the evening very special. we introduced our friends to the restaurant and they loved it as much as we.

Unique experience. You sit at the pasta bar and watch the chefs make what is a wonderful meal. We had high expectations and they were met. Vegetarian friendly! The chef made a vegetarian tasting menu for us.
