Milagros Gastrobar

This is probably my fave place in Naples. They are so kind to me! My Italian is getting fairly good but I still stumble over long vowely words. They never even smirk at me here nor do they neglect me since I am usually a lone diner.
Being a screaming diabetic with insulin always loaded does not seem a good match for anywhere in Italy and it is truly a test of will. But this has become my second home. The cheeses, meats and fabulous fruits help me (almost) overlook the breads and pastas like no other.
This place rocks on tapas and makes me a special plate each time. The chorizo is like no other and would be ruined with a carb introduction anyway. I feel like a very special person when I dine here. Acqua fresco is even magical here.
If you want to have at least one true Italian experience please go to Milagros.

Stumbled on this place while looking for a break from pizza (three nights of it was enough — amazing though!). Bit odd having to ring a door bell to get in, but do it — the food is phenomenal. We’ve made plenty of paellas and chorizo tapas at home so thought we had it pretty much spot on until having it here. Can’t recommend it enough, brilliant service and great little location.

Naples used to be the capital of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, which was part of the Spanish Crown. In fact, the colours of the Spanish flag are also those of the city coat of arms. But with all this histry, it’s strange that you could not find real Spanish food anywhere. Until now. Chef Carlos knows his food, and know how to bring Spanish culinary traditions to life, like his Salt Cod with spinach, raisins and pine nuts, or clams in grean sauce. And their Sangria is the only decent one in town. Small and hidden away around hte corner from the Gran Bar Riviera. I’ll be back. Presto
