L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele

Da Michele's historical pizzeria is always packed with people, for a reason: it takes pride in preserving its own traditional pizza recipe, passed down from generation to generation since 1870. While you may encounter a queue, the wait is undeniably worth it to savour Michele's culinary tradition, an authentic taste of Napoli that has stood the test of time.

Dining

Neapolitans believe their cuisine to be among the finest in the world. The best way to decide if you agree with them is by tasting some of the local specialities, which include pasta recipes (with the 'pummarola' tomato sauce, or 'alla puttanesca' with olives and capers), typical pastries like babà or sfogliatella, and of course, an authentic pizza, which made its appearance in Naples over 500 years ago. Neapolitan cuisine proudly uses modest ingredients such as oil, pecorino cheese, and aromatic herbs to convey its typical Mediterranean taste.
