In the guide to the one hundred best restaurant locations in Naples, one hundred cards for one hundred addresses divided into two sections: 40 TOP restaurants and 60 POP addresses which bring together popular trattorias, historic and contemporary pizzerias and street food, from tripe shops to takeaways.
The presentation, in the sixteenth-century cloister of Santa Caterina in Formello, was attended by chefs, restaurateurs, journalists and many protagonists of food & wine, among others Paolo Barrale of Aria Restaurant, Lino Scarallo of Paolazzo Petrucci, Marco Ambrosino of Sustanza, Giuseppe Iannotti of 177 Toledo , Puok burger, JJ Meats and Wines, Mimì at the railway, Antica Friggitoria La Masardona, J Japanese restaurant and Ristorante Al 53 with the wine list curated by us at Wine&Thecity and the cocktails made with the Salvia e Limone liqueur by Compagnia dei Caribbean.
Many special prizes were awarded and a ranking of ten favorite venues awarded this year George Restaurant as “best restaurant in Naples” among the top venues. all on equal merit, only one section winner, assigned to the master of fried pizzas Isabella De Cham as “best pop venue in Naples”.
While the prize “pizzeria of the year” wins it OMG! Gennaro Melillo’s pizza, among the emerging names of Neapolitan pizza.
The guide also rewards the work of those who have distinguished themselves most in the kitchen and in the dining room, awarding some awards. The Lavazza “In Punta Di Sala” award went to Mattozzi European Restaurant, one of the most historic venues in the center of Naples. The Carlo Alberto Vermouth Di Torino “La Tradizione È Serve” award could not fail to be awarded to Mimi at the railway.

THE HUNDRED
Born in Turin, where since 2009 it has been the most loved and best-selling handbook for Piedmontese gourmands, the I Cento guide has chronicled many Italian squares over the years: Milan, Rome, Florence, Genoa, Bari. And now, in 2024, it arrives Naples thanks to the support of GESAC – Management Company of the airports of Naples and Salerno, with the aim of offering the many tourists arriving at the airport an innovative guide that enhances the excellence of a city inextricably linked to its catering. The Cento is an independent and free guide, rigorous and entertaining: the authors are those of the “mother” edition, Stefano Cavallito & Alessandro Lamacchia – gourmet lawyers, authors of “La Repubblica” for thirty years – and Luca Iaccarino, collaborator of the “Corriere della Sera” and food editor of EDT; with them Luciana Squadrilli, one of the best Italian food and wine writers. “More than food critics, we are chroniclers of a hundred food stories in a city that could tell a thousand.”
