Naples, a city renowned as the birthplace of the iconic Neapolitan pizza, is a haven for food enthusiasts seeking an authentic taste of Italy’s culinary legacy. Amidst the cobblestone streets and historic charm, we had the pleasure of discovering Pizzeria Attanasio Naples a hotspot for the original Neapolitan pizza.
The size of the pizza was a spectacle in itself; its diameter extended beyond the boundaries of our plates, a true testament to the traditional Neapolitan style. Its rustic charm, with slightly uneven edges and a beautiful char, hinted at the authentic baking process that distinguishes Neapolitan pizza.
As we took our first bite, a symphony of flavors unfolded. The simplicity of the toppings – San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, a drizzle of olive oil – was an homage to the art of allowing quality ingredients to shine. The crust, a perfect balance of crispy and chewy, held these flavors in perfect harmony. The burst of sweetness from the tomatoes, the creaminess of the cheese, and the earthiness of the olive oil danced on our taste buds, each bite a tribute to the Neapolitan tradition.
While the star of the show was undoubtedly the pizza, Pizzeria Attanasio offered more than jus amaziing pizza’s . The cozy atmosphere, coupled with the warm hospitality of the staff, created an inviting ambiance that made us feel right at home. The dedication to preserving the integrity of Neapolitan pizza-making was evident in every aspect – from the menu curation to the attentive service.
As we savored our meal and basked in the culinary joy that Pizzeria Attanasio provided, we realized the importance of arriving early. The restaurant’s intimate setting, while adding to its charm, also meant limited seating.
Our visit to Pizzeria Attanasio was an amazing journey that transported us to the heart of Napoli’s culinary heritage. In a city overflowing with pizzerias, this unassuming establishment stood out for its dedication to tradition, quality, and authenticity. With a basic pizza that exceeded all expectations, Pizzeria Attanasio demonstrated that sometimes, simplicity truly is the key to perfection.
Pizzeria Attanasio is a must-visit destination. It’s a place where a classic Neapolitan pizza takes center stage, enveloping you in a symphony of flavors that pay homage to centuries of tradition. Also the pizza’s where really cheap, like €7 – €10 instead of the €16- €22 we would pay for the same pizza in Amsterdam.
