L'Antica Pizzeria da Michele
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
Took a day trip to Naples while I stayed in Rome to sample the food at Italy’s oldest standing pizza establishment. The menu was simple - three choices which is different from what I’m used to in New York. The pie was thin with a soft crust and not a lot of cheese. My final verdict…it was good and definitely worth a side trip from my wandering.
The food is classic in the best way—everything is kept simple, high-quality, and done properly. The service was exceptionally fast too. We also came at a non-touristy time, so we walked right in and sat wherever we wanted with no waiting. Atmosphere is a solid 5/5 for me because it reminded me of my hometown and the traditional “lokanta” restaurants back home warm, honest, and comforting. If you’re coming to Napoli, this place really shouldn’t be missed.
Da Michele was top on our list of pizzas for a Napoli pizza, and we went there for the first meal after arrival in Naples. It was the thinest pizza we ever had like Rumali roti thin, and the best ever. Simple menu of 4 veg pizzas can create so magic is unbelievable , we went there total 3 times and the restaurant meets simplicity , yet epitome of taste and quality. This was absolute delish .. warm welcome, simple 4 pizza menu that the best we could ever have !
We visited this place because it was highly hyped on social media. There was a queue during lunch time and we waited about 15 minutes for a table for four. The menu is very simple, with only 4 pizzas available, and prices are very reasonable at €6 per pizza. The pizza was large, light, chewy, and tasted good. While it was enjoyable, it was not outstanding or “the best,” but definitely great value for money. The restaurant was crowded, yet service was efficient — we waited less than 10 minutes for our pizzas. The staff worked hard and kept things moving smoothly. They do ask for a tip when settling the bill, and we were happy to tip given the effort and speed of service. Overall, it is a decent spot that feels a bit overhyped. Not worth making a special trip for, but a good and affordable option if you’re already in the area.
L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele is truly a historic treasure — and the pizza absolutely lives up to its legendary reputation. For just 6 euros, you get an incredible, delicious, and very filling pizza that captures the authentic taste of Naples. Simple, traditional, and unbelievably good! I do have to mention one small downside: during my visit, takeaway was the only option, so I had to sit outside on a bench (and I was lucky there were even two benches available). No paper towels were provided either, which made things a bit less convenient. Still, the quality of the pizza is undeniable, and the flavor makes it absolutely worth the visit. If you’re in Naples and want to try a true classic, Da Michele is a must — just be prepared for a takeaway experience! 🍕✨
