Cibo giapponese autentico e l’oste più simpatico di Napoli. Con la mia famiglia veniamo spesso alla trattoria orientale, è sempre un piacere farci deliziare orecchie e palato da questo splendido duo.

Gennaro is a rockstar!! Amazing sushi. Note that portions are huge! So when ordering do not think in a traditional japanese food, but rather in a homemade sushi.

Antonio Piccolo

The food was excellent, with attention to every detail—a true delight! But the real highlight was Gennaro: with his warmth, passion, and expertise, he transformed the dinner into a true culinary experience. He explained the dishes, made us smile, and made us appreciate each course even more. Congratulations!

At Trattoria Orientale G&G, you don't eat, you travel. Imagine Mount Fuji placed next to Vesuvius, with a samurai ordering a coffee at the bar on Via Toledo: that's the level. You sit down and immediately Gennaro arrives, half geisha, half Pulcinella, who with a rigorously lopsided bow recites a haiku in dialect: "Nigiri ‘e mare, ris’ appiccicat’ e core, ‘a vita è sushi." Sushi? It's not sushi: it's a nuclear fusion of red tuna and Neapolitan irony. Each piece seems prepared by a Zen monk... who, however, studied at the Made in Sud Cabaret Academy. You find yourself laughing and meditating at the same time: a spiritual-gastronomic experience unlike anything you'd dreamed of after eating too much ramen. When the sashimi arrives, Gennaro explains the history of the fish with the same passion a grandfather uses to recount Maradona: tuna becomes a tragic hero, salmon a poet, amberjack a stoic philosopher. Every bite is a dramatic turn of events: you're in Tokyo, but the voice of someone shouting, "Hey, guagliò, gradisci 'o wasabi?" falls upon you. In the end, between sake served in coffee cups and tempura that seems to sing "O' Sole Mio," you ask yourself: "Am I in Naples or Kyoto on taralli and soy?" The result: a mystical, absurd, unforgettable experience. It's not a restaurant, it's a space-time portal. Go there. But be prepared: you might leave speaking Japanese with a Posillipo accent.

Highly recommended for lovers of authentic Japanese cuisine! Trattoria Orientale had been recommended to me countless times, and I finally understood why. The food was fantastic, from the ravioli to the ramen, even the teriyaki sauce prepared by the Japanese chef. The experience was enhanced by Gennaro, who, in addition to explaining the dishes and how to enjoy them, kept us company with his warmth, hospitality, and excellent sake. I'm happy to have spent my birthday here, and I thank Gennaro again for the happy birthday cookies! An experience I absolutely must repeat.

Tonight we went to Trattoria Orientale for the first time, recommended by a friend. We were welcomed by the owner Gennaro San, who immediately explained the restaurant's philosophy and guided us step by step through what turned out to be a wonderful journey through a true experience of aromas, flavors, and experimentation with new tastes. All this was accompanied by precise information about each dish, their origins and preparation, through stories, anecdotes, and hilarious jokes by the wonderful Gennaro San, a great expert and connoisseur of Japanese philosophy and cuisine. Everything is freshly prepared by the excellent Yoko, Gennaro's Japanese wife, who cooks according to rigorous traditional Japanese recipes, but with "grandmother-style" portions ☺️ The raw ingredients are truly excellent quality and the flavors of everything we tasted were truly sublime. Literally a revolution of sensations compared to the flavors we had previously experienced. Among these, the "journey" through the various nuances of sake, wasabi, and spicy flavors cannot be overlooked. Well done! Our warmest compliments. See you soon and thank you!

Lovely place close to Amedeo metro station. The portions are well served following by an amazing quality and a lot of food culture to be learnt by Gennaro. It's a real experience that worth a visit specially if you love Japanese cuisine. Unfortunately we didn't take pictures of all what we ordered. Really recommend to ask for Gennaro suggestions.

Eating at Trattoria Orientale is a unique experience. Perhaps those who don't appreciate it don't understand that it's an experience, a moment of distraction from everything else. I return often and now only eat sushi there given the quality of the preparation and the freshness of the ingredients. I always ask Gennaro to recommend what to order, to let him guide us on his culinary journey. Congratulations on everything, and see you very soon!

This was our most memorable meal in Napoli. Super sweet couple serving large cuts of sashimi and other Asian cuisine. Maybe not the best sushi or ramen I've had in my life, but it really hit the spot after weeks of eating only Italian food.

Good Japanese food with a generous sprinkle of Neapolitan hospitality. The place is in a quiet piazzetta, very easy to reach on foot or by metro.

The owners are wonderful mixed italian and japanese couple who are extremely kind and work with great passion. The sushi experience is totally different from the other japanese restaurants, especially the all you can eat ones. It feels more authentic. The restaurant atmosphere is a bit particular, perhaps a bit dark and the service is slow paced, but the food is amazing. Would definitely recommend.

Sono stata da g&g più volte e che dire, è una garanzia, ogni volta mi innamoro della cucina e della cordialità e simpatia del proprietario. Cibo a 5 stelle e qualità garantita, mi sento di dire che il sushi che ho mangiato qui era meglio di alcuni sushi alla carta!

Vincenza Maione

Authentic Japanese flavors. Generous portions by Japanese standards. Friendly host. Some dishes, such as okonomiyaki (Hiroshima style), require reservations.

Gianluca Tramontano

The fusion of Neapolitan soul and Japanese cuisine makes this restaurant truly unique. Gennaro married Yoko, aka Giulia, a true working machine who, as Gennaro himself says, "does everything" and does it well. The star of this trattoria, however, is Gennaro himself, whose anecdotes and gift for the gab make the experience memorable.

I hope the following review is seen by the manager as constructive and not offensive. I'll start by saying that the dining experience is wonderful. Gennaro, the manager, knows how to describe the entire menu perfectly, and thanks to his friendly nature, he manages to instill enthusiasm for what we're about to eat. We ordered a set of mixed sushi (12 pieces), a portion of takoyaki (4 pieces), pork ravioli (4 pieces), and finally a Unico, the special dish of the month (8 pieces). The portions are generous, filling, and have incredible flavor. The fish flavor is authentic, and the teriyaki sauce could become addictive. Gennaro's service, with its various explanations of Japanese culture, is also pleasant, interesting, and fun. So, there's nothing to complain about regarding the food, but now let's get to the negatives. I agree with Gennaro's view about investing primarily in the food, since that's the restaurant's strong point, but I believe that, even if it can be avoided, the restaurant needs attention. So, in good faith, I suggest at least renovating the aesthetics, trying to enhance the experience, starting with the table settings and their layout, and including the service like plates and glasses, which are perhaps the only sore point in an authentic Japanese experience.
