Blistered margherita from the wood oven

Ninety seconds at 480 degrees

Dough rested a day, San Marzano, fior di latte, a lick of flame.

Ninety seconds

Peel to floor, back of the oven

The oven was built in 1954 by a mason who never wrote anything down.

It reaches 480 degrees by ten in the morning and does not cool until midnight. A margherita takes ninety seconds. Nothing about that is negotiable.

Reviews

  • Small room, maybe a dozen tables, and all of them full by half seven on a Tuesday. If the Bufala DOP is on when you go, order it before you read the rest of the menu. We will be back, and not in a vague way - the table is booked.

  • Sat at the counter alone with a book and nobody once made me feel rushed. The Montanara was worth the wait, and there was a wait. It has rather ruined every other Naples restaurant for me.

  • Came for a quick lunch and was still there nearly two hours later. Even my daughter, who eats almost nothing, cleared the Crocche. Nothing about it is trying to be photographed, which I appreciated.
