da Zio Ciro — Restaurant in Naples

Absolutely superb seafood, served in a very welcoming environment that has a nice seaside vibe and, for industrial archaeology buffs, gritty views of the long abandoned and disused metal factories once at the heart of working class Bagnoli's social fabric. This unpretentious trattoria has become a must go place for me and my family every time I travel back home to Naples (having lived overseas for many years now), so we have sampled many of the items on the menu, and never been disappointed. As is the case when ingredients are truly fresh, the menu choice is varied, but not overly extensive: pasta dishes include all-time favourites such as spaghetti with clams or traditional pasta allo scoglio, alongside more adventurous creations such as the superbly tasting carbonara di mare, one of the chef's hit dishes. Their paccheri with salted cod are absolutely divine, lapped by the sauce of the most delicious tomatoes I can think of, so sweet and flavoursome. So there's something for everyone or every occasion, according to whether you want to stick to the stripped back simplicity of time-honoured Neapolitan cookery or branch out to more complex flavours. We have also had all sorts of grilled platters and they have equally been excellent (swordfish, squid, king prawns), as well as daily specials cooked to high standards. I wholeheartedly recommend this place for those who are looking for uncompromisingly fresh ingredients cooked in an uncomplicated way, and served by kind and attentive staff. There's always a specially personable touch in Zio Ciro himself coming out at some point from his kitchen haunt to check you are enjoying the meal. Such a homely feel and always...

This family run independent sea food restaurant is amazing from its great service, food and drinks (they make the best aprol spritz). The waitress was very helpful and they can also communicate well in English for those who are not fluent in Italian. I would suggest going for the "sea food platter" and the "fried cod" which both dishes are amazing. We was very impressed overall so we went back on three occasions. I am happy to have supported this family business and finally the local area is very safe to walk around late in...

Serata d'estate accenni di pioggia in giro a diporto per la città cosa mangiare cosa bere dove andare... ne avevo sentito parlare e anche proposto ma non ci ero mai stato occasione giusta ed ecco qua seduto al tavolo di questo localino molto originale povero di effetti speciali ma ricco di colore... subito messo a mio agio accoglienza ax5 stelle simpatia e cordialità seguita da estrema pulizia...già questo basterebbe considerando il posto che non si trova in riva al mare ma credetemi non ha nulla da invidiare mi sono presentato a zio ciro e subito ci siamo capiti esordio con cozze pastellate e cozze al gorgonzola innaffiato da un ottima falanghina spumantizzata Matilde zasso.. una leccornia qualcuno direbbe...io dico o revuoto. Passo subito al primo e ciro mi propone uno spaghetto allo scoglio e una carbonara di mare. Signori amici nemici astanti e affini... spaghetto allo scoglio che merita considerazione ma per quanto riguarda la carbonara non ce aggettivo qualificativo che possa dare il senso .... il gusto la presentazione e la freschezza che non si descrive solo chi la mangia può capire ... un plauso zio ciro una carbonata di mare senza uovo non è da tutti da fare..... Quindi se volete sapere di che parlo ve lo dovete magnà. Non potevo non provare il baccalà fritto una delizia bianco non salato gustoso e pastella fatta divinamente non un'ombra di olio saporito insomma....per la prima volta che vengo e per come sono critico caro ciro ti meriti 5 stelle . Tornerò ancora più curioso e mi farò consigliare un altro piatto questi sono...
