Trattoria da Nennella
Naples, Italy
The read// why locals go
Da Nennella is the Quartieri Spagnoli trattoria where the waiters sing, the portions are ridiculous and a full lunch in Naples costs about €13. Nothing here is arranged for effect except the singing: tables are shared, plates arrive when they arrive and the volume never drops below a shout. The cooking on Vico Lungo Teatro Nuovo is straightforward Neapolitan home food — the kind made in family kitchens rather than restaurants, with a ragù left on low heat for eight hours before it reaches anyone. Go hungry, go early and accept that a quiet conversation is not among the things on offer. It is the loudest, cheapest and most cheerful room in the quarter.
