La Carnicería

Meaning ‘butcher’s shop’ in Spanish, La Carnicería is a carnivore’s paradise. Taking the classic Argentine parrilla steakhouse and turning it on its head, this tiny restaurant puts its own twist on some of the classics, adding pear and greens to grilled provoleta cheese and putting the ‘sweet’ into sweetbreads.

Things to think of...

Transportation: Naples has a reliable public transportation system, but it can get crowded and confusing for first-time visitors. Consider using ride-hailing apps like "Free Now" to get around which is also a better alternative to Uber since it's very expensive there. 

Sightseeing: There are many attractions in Naples, including museums, churches, and historical sites like the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Consider purchasing a Naples City Pass, which includes admission to multiple attractions and discounts on tours.•

Safety: Naples is generally safe, but it's important to take precautions like avoiding dark alleyways and carrying a money belt. Keep an eye on your belongings and avoid flashing valuables like cameras and smartphones..
