Good little trattoria, which offers popular Neapolitan dishes. The place is mostly known to the elders and the students of the neighborhood. Sitting at the table in the small room, you see the chef at work in the open kitchen, a real show that creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. If the room is full, do not despair, you will have the possibility to order your eggplants to the Parmesan to take.

Properly traditional and wonderful, a must if visiting. Feels like you're in a family kitchen and so delicious

It would be 3.5/5 if Google did half-stars.
My pasta course took an eternity to come. I initially wondered why, but quickly saw the volume of take-away boxes flying out the kitchen and realised most people had ordered delivery since it was bucketing down outside.
Eventually a steaming pile of rigatoni arrived at the table and my mouth watered. Diving in was a divine example of simplicity and honesty. This was al dente to the core, the sauce was hearty and homey and deep. I managed to scarf my way through the entire bowl, almost forgetting I had another course coming.
The primi course had already bludgeoned me and I felt incapable of shoving anymore into my mouth. Luckily for me the meatballs were not spectacular, so I felt justified in not finishing the plate. Nonna kept glancing over, perhaps because I was dressed all in black, perhaps because most clients here don't take photographs of their food.
The tomato sauce was pretty standard, almost like opening a bottle of passata and heating it up. Texturally the meatball ate dry and were quite firm. It lacked the delicate touch, which is of course reminiscent of home-cooking, but sometimes you appreciate mouth-feel as well as taste. I munched through one and half and threw in the towl, paid the bill, thanked the wonderful family and braced for the rain.
In terms of authenticity, this was an experience. In terms of flavour it was hit and miss
