Caffè dell'Epoca

Naples


You're not here for the drab decor and sallow lighting but for Piazza Bellini's hottest bargains: €1.50 bottles of Peroni and €2 spritz. These cut-price libations draw no shortage of art- and music-school students and staffers, who spill out onto the street for fun, boisterous evening sessions. Bantering owner Peppe will even let you bring in a takeaway pizza.
