The story
Siamo Napoli, on 30th Street in San Diego’s North Park, is the work of Chef Alfonso. The restaurant’s own website describes his “detailed attention to his craft” and promises that his selections “will surprise and delight you so much that you’ll come back for more.” That dedication earned Siamo Napoli a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a recognition that aligns with the care evident in every dish.
The menu is broad and thoughtful, rooted in Italian tradition. Antipasti include Burratina with organic heirloom tomatoes and imported burrata, and Arancini – risotto balls stuffed with cheese, beef, and prosciutto. Pastas are handmade: Calamarata with artisan ring pasta, calamari, clams, mussels, and shrimp in light tomato sauce, or Pappardelle con il Ragù d’Agnello, a cabernet-infused pasta with slow-braised lamb. Pizza options range from a classic Margherita to the chef’s daily special. The Reginella pizza bianca features buffalo mozzarella, mortadella, and pistachio.
The space is comfortable, with air conditioning and wheelchair access. Takeout and catering are available, making Siamo Napoli a versatile choice for both dine-in and at-home enjoyment. Whether you’re drawn by the Michelin recommendation or simply a craving for authentic Italian cooking, Chef Alfonso’s kitchen delivers.
