Kesté

Naples


Kesté, which translates as ‘this is it’ in Neapolitan, is a historic venue in the vivacious piazza of San Giovanni Pignatelli. The bar curates an ongoing programme of comedy, live music, poetry readings and film screenings which attract the student population from the nearby universities who spill out under the canopy of trees outside the popular bar all day.
