Palazzo Petrucci

When it first opened in 2006, Palazzo Petrucci set itself a challenge, and won it. In a city which so strongly holds on to its traditions, chef Lino Scarallo managed to create a restaurant where the basics of Naples’ culinary heritage are reinvented and offered in new, surprising ways, while respecting the flavors of the freshest, seasonal ingredients used throughout the menu. Scarallo rearranges the succulent and simple local dishes into more elaborate but nonetheless exquisite meals, without forgetting to please the eye through colorful and careful presentation. The extent of Palazzo Petrucci’s success is all the more incredible, since the restaurant is located in the competitive Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, in the very heart of the city’s historical centre.
