Ristorante Pizzeria Alba

I had the best pasta of my life here- the puttanesca. What an experience! Such lively and vibrant flavors. It was so good I came back the next day for more. They pizza is perfect as well. Crispy crust and delicious sauce in 90 seconds. I highly recommend going out of your way to eat here. Some comments here have criticism about the service to Americans but my experience was lovely and I don’t speak Italian at all.

The waiters were incredibly rude and unwilling to help the “American tourists”. I was traveling alone with a small child and they could care less. I attempted to use google translator but one of the waiters even yelled at me because I did not order the food in the correct order. I asked for a drink and he said someone else would get my order. I felt very rushed in the beginning. It was our first night in Naples and I stared to cry at the table, at this point a younger waiter had some compassion and attempted to help. As we were leaving the owner came over to the table and gave some tips on places to go in Napoli and she was very kind. I think the food was ok but nothing to write home about. I might go back and give them another try but it wouldn’t be my first choice. I’m sure if you’re a local this would be a great place but they dislike tourists that do not speak Italian. I have found this to also be the case in the rest of Napoli so I don’t want to specifically single them out.
