Palazzo Petrucci Napoli

Palazzo Petrucci sits on Via Posillipo, positioned along the coastal road between the Parco Virgiliano and the residential edge of the city. The restaurant holds a Michelin star and ranks 39th on the 50 Top Italy list of grandi ristoranti.

The room runs smart and serves contemporary Italian seafood, but the address provides the real distinction here. While most of the city’s heralded dining concentrates in the dense, narrow streets of the historic centre, Palazzo Petrucci offers a necessary relief from that congestion. You trade the frantic pulse of the Spaccanapoli for an expansive silence that is rarely found this close to the water. It is a more deliberate experience than its neighbours in town, rewarding those who prefer to leave the tourist crush behind for a view of the gulf.
