Trattoria Napoli - Fish Hoek

Interesting, unique place. You could easily miss this place. The roof and walls are full of Italian memorabilia and personal photos of the owner, and he sits in the middle of the restaurant shouting orders. Pizza 's are nice bit different than usual with no tomato base as that is 'American ' and not Italian.

My type of spot. Small, quaint and unique. Walls and ceilings plastered with Italian memorabilia and pictures. And the entire place is dominated by the owner sitting in state and directing operations!<br/ <br/ Had a quick pizza here while waiting for a meeting. Very tasty, you can taste the home made dough and fresh ingredients. Menu has only pasta, pizza and salad but this is a spot I will visit again.

If you are looking for the last word in authentic, look no further than this delightful anachronism situated in Fish Hoek's Main Road and step into a world of Neapolitan flair, kitch and home cooking. Go before it is too late. It's a delicious slice of life. You won't forget the true Italian taste. You probably will not have the pleasure otherwise unless you see Naples itself. And die. The owner is a delight.

Authentic Napolese food prepared authentically by a native of Napoli. Be prepared for interesting banter and exquisite food. It's more than just dinner. It's an institution.

There 's a bunch of polarizing reviews about this place. Here 's the thing this is the 'anti franchise '. Sure, it 's a small place filled with the larger than life personality of the owner...but we loved it! The owner is passionate about food and how to eat it. We were berated for a few minor trespasses (my four year old son attempted to eat pasta with a spoon, lol) but we were never made to feel unwelcome, quite the opposite in fact. The two pizzas we ate were just great and my wife enjoyed her veg lasagna. Eat at this place the food is great and the theater comes for free. Bit on the pricey side but only if you compare it to franchise fast food affairs.
