5 seafood places in Naples we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Naples | Seafood across every city.
Naples eats from the Bay, and seafood runs through both its grand restaurants and its fried-food counters. Along the Chiaia waterfront, La Cantinella, Ristorante Umberto and Ristorante Caruso work the sit-down end with the day's catch. For the street version, Friggitoria Vomero and the friggitorie around La Pignasecca fry seafood and vegetables to order.

TipClosed Sunday. Book three weeks ahead via the website. Bay-view terrace tables go first.
