Zi Teresa

"Food: Hands down the best pizza we had during our Italy trip—topped with a pesto base and delicate pumpkin flowers. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and memorable.

Service: The service was friendly and efficient. While we weren’t able to sit at one of the view tables due to a reservation, the overall experience was still very pleasant.

Atmosphere: A beautiful setting overlooking the boats at the pier—such a relaxing and scenic place to enjoy a meal."

Monica’s Taste

"Zi Teresa is a historic restaurant located right by the yacht harbor in Naples, known for its traditional Neapolitan cuisine and picturesque waterfront views. The setting is elegant, and the location promises a classic dining experience — but sadly, our evening fell short of expectations, especially considering the final bill of €175.

We ordered several dishes: the Insalata Caprese was fresh and flavorful — a solid start. The Mazzancolle Griglia (grilled shrimp) came with four large shrimp, but they were overcooked and had a strange, medicinal taste, almost like penicillin. The Cotoletta (breaded cutlet) with fries was tasty but small, more suited for a light lunch. The Filetto di Pepe Verde was very disappointing — the meat tasted boiled and had a noticeable bitterness that made it hard to eat.

We were also looking forward to trying their famous “Vesuvio” dessert, but were told it was unavailable — despite being among the first customers of the evening, which was truly disappointing. We ended the meal with Tagliata di Frutta, which was fresh, but felt like a poor substitute for what we had hoped to enjoy.

To make matters worse, the end of the meal felt unprofessional and uncomfortable. The waiter told us that tips were not included in the bill and handed us an envelope. He then took the check away and only returned it after coming back to collect the envelope. When we finally saw the receipt, it became clear that a service charge had already been included. As we stood up to leave, he opened the envelope in front of us to check whether a tip had been left — a gesture that felt both disrespectful and inappropriate.

Despite its lovely setting and long-standing name, Zi Teresa did not live up to its reputation, and we would not return."

Ol Ti

"We had a wonderful dining experience at Zi Teresa in Naples! We tried the mussel pasta, grilled swordfish, fried calamari, and salmon. Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The seafood was outstanding, and the setting made it even more memorable. With breathtaking views of the bay and Castel dell’Ovo, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food with an unforgettable view!"
