Il Piastrato





Tours & Activities in Naples

Underneath old Naples, there's a mirror of the city – cavernous and deep, this second city has sheltered and nourished Naples for millennia. Napoli Sotterranea dates back to 470 BC when the Greeks created underground cisterns for rainwater, and the Romans expanded on it with an aqueduct that served for centuries. As you venture lower, you'll be surprised by the 90% humidity. Imagine the intensified heat for the hundreds who sought refuge here as bombs rained down on Naples in the 1940s.

Set off from Pompeii, and journey to Vesuvius, the volcano that sealed the ancient city's fate. Your shared transport will drop you off at the base of the volcano, and your skip-the-line tickets will get you speedy access to the route that leads you to Vesuvius' peak. You'll even be able to peek into the crater that spilt forth the ash that entombed Pompeii and Herculaneum. There's more than just imagining the destructive force of Vesuvius, though. You'll also be greeted with breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples, Capri, Ischia, the edge of the Sorrento coast, and more. Your guide will also fill you in on fascinating anecdotes about the area and its history.

See the best of the Archaeological Museum of Naples in the company of a guide. Make the most of your time with the speedy-entry you'll get with this priority admission ticket. Start the tour at the museum ticket office and let your guide lead the way! Take a closer look at the art and artifacts of Pompeii, and Herculaneum, including Roman items that survived the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. Admire the Farnese collection with ancient statues of Hercules, the two Tyrannicides (slayers of tyrants), the majestic Taurus Farnese group, mighty Greek gods and Roman emperors. Get close to some of the best-preserved frescoes and mosaics, and be inspired by classical art masterpieces, along with artifacts, coins and wall paintings. It's the best way to see one of Naples' best museums!

Authentic Stories from Diners
What a gem! Just round the corner from the central station. When you’re tired of pasta and pizza, this is the place to go. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. The focus is meat which is really good quality and competitively priced given the quality. I have a lovely fillet cooked to perfection while my husband really enjoyed his Italian burger. Service was great too.
Amazing little restaurant with amazingly kind people! I totally recommend this restaurant for the variety and uniqueness of their dishes. I recommend the pulled pork burger for big appetites!
Naples is known for pizza and pasta, so finding a place that caters perfectly to an animal-based way of eating felt like striking gold. Il Piastrato is that place. A small, unassuming spot near Napoli Centrale that doubles as a butcher shop and restaurant — and that’s exactly what makes it special. The steak was the highlight of the meal. Cooked on the piastra, beautifully seasoned, with that deep, rich flavor you only get from properly aged beef. They have a dry-aging cabinet right in the restaurant, so you know exactly what you’re getting — no shortcuts, just quality meat done right. The meatballs were equally impressive — tender, full of flavor, and clearly made from scratch with care. Two dishes, both executed perfectly. For anyone following an animal-based or carnivore diet, this is genuinely one of the best spots you’ll find in Southern Italy. No need to navigate around bread baskets and carb-heavy menus. Here, meat and animal products ARE the menu. You can walk in, order without compromising, and leave completely satisfied. The staff is warm, attentive, and clearly proud of what they serve. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. If you’re a meat lover visiting Naples, skip the tourist traps and make the short walk to this gem. An absolute must-visit.
This bistro is a must in Napoli. Great food and staff. My chicken breast was tender and not dry. Amazing meat. Also the entrecôte the next day was deliciousyGreat vegetables. The last 5 stars reviews are rightly deserved
I saw the pictures of the meat on Google – it looked so delicious, I just had to try it. And yes, it really is as delicious as it looks! I also loved the white wine. The place has a clean, comfortable atmosphere with great music playing on the TV. Thank you for a great experience!
