Napoli Caffé Ristorante Italiano

Napoli Caffé Ristorante Italiano is a small Italian café-restaurant on the Circumferential Road in Poblacion, San Juan, about 200 metres from Capilay Spring Park. Run by owner Rosario, it suits travellers after a proper espresso, a crêpe or a gelato while exploring the centre of San Juan on foot, and anyone craving simple Italian cooking.

On the menu

Sweet crêpes (Nutella, fruit, jam) and savoury ones (cheese, ham, vegetables and egg, a reviewer favourite), eggplant parmigiana, shrimp pasta, omelettes for breakfast, Italian espresso and cappuccino, homemade gelato and freshly squeezed fruit juices, with seasonal organic vegetables. Reviewers also mention a coffee dessert and the creamy gelato.

Prices and reviews

It is rated 4.7/5 across 77 Tripadvisor reviews and 4.3/5 on around 205 Google reviews, as aggregated by Wanderlog (consulted October 2026). Praise centres on authentic Italian flavours, the friendly, family-run feel and quick breakfast service. Opinions on portions are split: some find the shrimp pasta generous, while others note that portions run small and extras add up quickly (calamansi around ₱20, soft drinks ₱120 and up), so see it as an occasional treat rather than a budget meal. A few reviewers found the pasta bland or the shrimp pasta too peppery.

Practical

Opening hours differ between sources: our earlier listing and Trip.com give 7am to midnight daily, while the Google hours relayed by Wanderlog show 8am to 8pm. Check before heading over for dinner.
