Caffe dell'Amore

When Conde Nast Traveler magazine readers voted Naples #17 on the U.S. Cities for Foodies list, editors named Caffe dell'Amore as one of the reasons. Its off-Fifth strip mall setting belies an elegant, Old World atmosphere of linens and candlelight. The menu sticks close to Old World tradition itself, with classic favorites such as the lasagna Alla Bolognese and homemade tiramisu. Others show a streak of imaginative originality: wild boar alla cacciatora, Cornish hen braised in white wine with a touch of sambuca, ravioli stuffed with grilled vegetables and goat cheese and pasta pouches filled with gorgonzola cheese and pear.
