Il Rusticone In Casandrino

02/04/2024: we ate very well, everything was excellent... I will definitely return,

08/03/2024: We stayed in the old town in Napoli for a week. This place was similarly priced to its neighbors but stood apart in its well prepared food. The only place my wife and I came back for a second time was this place because we had great memories of the good food! Customer service was similar to other neighborhood restaurants: nothing over the top. Inside, it's honestly a bit underwhelming in its decor, but that's perfectly fine. We're not here to be impressed by the tables and walls, we're here for the food :). This place really does feel like one of those 'hole-in-the-wall' places you rave to your friends about once you get back home. In total we ordered pasta vongole (twice), grilled shrimp, four seasons pizza, and margarita buffalina. Each dish was top tier for it's price. The pizza was very well prepared with a light and fluffy crust and well-cooked, but not burnt base. I've also since had pasta vongole at 3 other restaurants and while each dish is not perfect - Osteria has had the least amount of broken shell and unopened clams when compared to my other experiences. Very yummy! Wonderful experience, well deserved 5/5.
