Intra Moenia

Naples


Despite the sloppy service, this ivy-clad literary cafe on Piazza Bellini is a good spot for some square-side downtime. Browse limited-edition books on Neapolitan culture, pick up a vintage-style postcard or simply sip a hot chocolate or prosecco and people-watch on the piazza. Wine costs €5 a glass and there's a range of bruschette, salads and snacks to see off the munchies.
