O' Russ — Restaurant in Naples

Food really not for us.There was some confusion with the tripe as we don't understand much Italian yet even with google translate and asking three times i was still served tripe though I was trying to say I am pescetarien. In the end I swapped with my partners carbonara figuring I could eat around the ham and give him the meat to prevent food waste, yet for the first time ever we left without eating.The people were pleasant and gave us a limoncello on the house but i think a new menu is needed as I've never ate something that's made...

We were curious to try trippa for the first time and stopped at Tripperia da Franchesco O’Russ. It was a great find! Our waiter, Giuseppe, was incredibly kind and helpful. He made us feel very welcome and gave us great recommendations.

We tried the trippa with red sauce, and it had a very interesting and unique flavor. My husband loved it and finished the whole dish! We also had the fried anchovies, which were superb, and the chicken cotoletta, which was perfectly cooked. Even the bread was delicious.

For dessert, we had the baba and even tried the limoncello…the perfect way to end the meal.

All in all, it’s a cozy little spot tucked away in the streets of Naples where the food is excellent and made with care. Highly recommended! In italian: Eravamo curiosi di provare la trippa per la prima volta e ci siamo fermati alla Tripperia da Franchesco O’Russ. È stata una bellissima scoperta! Il nostro cameriere, Giuseppe, è stato incredibilmente gentile e disponibile. Ci ha fatto sentire i benvenuti e ci ha dato ottimi consigli.

Abbiamo provato la trippa al sugo, dal sapore molto interessante e particolare. A mio marito è piaciuta tantissimo e ha finito tutto il piatto! Abbiamo preso anche le alici fritte, davvero squisite, e la cotoletta di pollo, cotta alla perfezione. Anche il pane era delizioso.

Per dessert abbiamo preso il babà e abbiamo anche assaggiato il limoncello… il modo perfetto per concludere il pasto.

Nel complesso è un piccolo locale accogliente, nascosto tra le stradine di Napoli, dove il cibo è eccellente e preparato con cura....

The food here tastes as if my grandma made it: flavorful and comforting. We went there twice during our stay in Napoli. I tried two different tripe dishes - they were fresh, perfectly seasoned and eating them made me happy. My boyfriend got the mexican beans - they were SUPREMELY tasty, too! (yup, stole a bite.)

I'll go back there in a heartbeat if I go back to Napoli. It's unpretentious, the service is basic but amiable, and the food is exactly what it pretends to be: good, authentic food. From our bellies...
