Con mollica o senza da Donato — Restaurant in Naples

This place became famous instantly as Donato, the co-owner, made Tiktok videos of him working at a deli about 100m near this one. I went across this place once at lunch time and it was crowded. However, the next day I went there at "Spanish lunchtime" (3pm) and the line was just about 7-10 mins with Spaniards before me. Of course, the first question will be "con mollica o senza?" (with breadcrumbs or not) and I went for smollicato. Then, you can tell what kind of flavors, deli meat and cheese you like and you will get them in a generous way; as well as suggestions to pour in.

Once it is done, you pay (ca 8-9 eur; which can be "a bit pricey"). Luckily, Donato was there and he kindly took some time for pictures.

Con Mollica o Senza da Donato is a must-visit for anyone who loves food, culture, and a dash of excitement in Naples, Italy. Meeting Donato De Caprio, the man behind this viral sensation with over 4 million followers, was nothing short of exhilarating. The buzz was palpable, with a line snaking around the corner--a testament to his legendary sandwiches and the experience he offers.

Our patience was rewarded not only with incredible sandwiches but also with special hospitality. Donato welcomed us to a cozy downstairs room, exclusive and intimate, where we could savor our sandwiches and wine at leisure. Opting for senza mollica (without inside bread filling) added to the authenticity and charm of the meal. Each bite was packed with flavor and fresh ingredients, leaving us wishing for more even after we finished.

This wasn't just a meal; it was an event--a memory of Naples we'll cherish. If you're visiting the city, don't miss the chance to experience Donato's craft and his welcoming...

We ordered a porchetta, mortadella and olives with almond sandwich, which tasted good. The bread was fresh, but rough. If anyone wants a stronger jaw can do with working it out biting into the bread.

The portions are immense. Ideally, you could share it between 4 people. I put the 2nd half in the fridge and had it as a big breakfast the next day.

Advice: go in the morning before there's a line.

The ordering process is vague. There are no prices displayed or anything in English, so you pay whatever they charge.

It helps to learn the names of the deli meats beforehand. I read Google Reviews and winged it and missed ordering a cheese. It still cost 18 Euros nonetheless.

While I didn't feel cheated from the sandwich itself, the hazy ordering process downgrades it as a good one-time...
