New store, new feel @Little Napoli

I have never been a pancake lover but nothing is absolute! Ever since I got to know Little Napoli in Happy Valley in 2022, I have been moved by the sincere taste, and I have to go there from time to time to satisfy my appetite. Little Napoli of Asia-Pacific, which has been selected as a Michelin Bib Gourmand for three consecutive years and ranked among Italy's 50 Top Pizzas, has moved to Tai Wong Street East in Wan Chai! The new store is spacious and has added a lot of seats for dine-in. When I arrived at around 6pm that day, I saw a long queue waiting for it to open. It’s really no joke how popular it is. The walls are still covered with the blue and white patterned tiles with the sign, and the decoration is full of modern industrial style, giving it the atmosphere of a small shop in southern Italy. The open kitchen is equipped with a stone kiln oven brought from Naples that is larger than the old one. I haven’t seen Chef Gavino Pilo for a while, and he’s still as good as ever! It is such a blessing to be able to taste the authentic Napoli pizza he made. In a flash, Gavino Pilo has already started making pizza! All pizzas are made to order, with the dough fermented and kneaded according to traditional techniques, and topped with exquisite fillings made from fresh ingredients certified by Denominazione di Origine Protetta. It only takes 90 seconds to bake a freshly baked pizza that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It's amazing. The new store has launched a new gourmet food, Bowl Platter! Carpaccio Di Polpo $158 is made with Mediterranean octopus, cooked with Amalfi lemon peel, olive oil, fennel and rocket. It has a full taste and a strong aroma and is very refreshing and appetizing. Melanzane in Carrozza$108This dish is very special! The crispy eggplant wrapped in bread crumbs is filled with smoked Agerola buffalo cheese and Sicilian ricotta cheese. It is crispy and delicious when paired with the sour and delicate cherry tomato sauce. Friends who like tomatoes and cheese should definitely not miss it. Crocchè Di Patate E Salumi$128! This potato cold cut patty is fried crispy and not greasy. It is mixed with a variety of cold cuts and smoked mozzarella cheese. It is fragrant and flavorful with a rich taste. Polpo alla Luciana⁠$128! This traditional Neapolitan dish uses chewy octopus, cooked with cherry tomato sauce, olives and crispy bread. The sourness of the octopus's fresh tomato sauce and the saltiness of the olives create an unforgettable spicy Italian flavor that is so charming. After trying a few new dishes, it was time to eat the pancakes I had been craving for! First, order a Fritta Completa for $188. This special fried pizza is very crispy and filled with rare yellow tomato sauce and Cicoli ham. The fried pizza crust is very crispy and the yellow tomato sauce inside has a sweet taste, which goes well with the salty fragrance of the ham like Tango. Chef Gavino Pilo is preparing Contadina, and the baked pizza is topped with lots of ingredients, which looks so appetizing. Contadina $268 is made with traditional Italian ham Mortadella from Bologna, as well as my favorite rocket, buffalo cheese and black truffle. When eating, fold the pizza in half in the traditional Naples way. The soft and smooth Mortadella is fragrant and not salty, and the sweet rocket is delicious. Cosacca is made with San Marzano tomato sauce, mini San Marzano tomatoes, Tara anchovies, Roman sheep's milk cheese, Gaeta olives, minced garlic and fresh basil. Just looking at the ingredients, you can imagine how delicious the pizza is. The pancakes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making them so delicious! This flavor has a very strong salty fragrance. When you eat the anchovy, the taste lingers in your mouth and makes you linger on the aftertaste. Norma$228 is a good choice for vegetarians! The crust is topped with San Marzano’s rich tomato sauce and fresh San Marzano cherry tomatoes, and then topped with tender eggplant, buffalo cheese and Sicilian ricotta cheese for a creamy flavor. Fresh basil brings out the refreshing flavor, making the combination a perfect match. Montana$228 uses San Marzano yellow tomato sauce and fragrant Naples salami! There are fresh mushrooms, smoked buffalo cheese and Roman goat's milk cheese inside, and it is delicious when paired with slightly spicy chopped chili. Finally, end the meal sweetly with pistachio cherry ice cream and caramel vanilla ice cream. This pizza feast is so satisfying that consuming any number of calories is not a problem! Because the high quality taste is definitely worth my precious quota.
