Came here on chance that they would have a table at 8pm on Saturday... Never have they had one but this time we were in luck! I had always wanted to eat at this cute place having sampled many treats from its sister cafe, Dolce y Salato, across the street.
We were greeted right away and after a few back and forth conversations (in Italian) between the staff they lead us to a table for two. Swift and polite the whole way through the meal.
We only ordered mains and desserts for our meal and next time I think we will go the whole hog as it was all so good. I had the mixed seafood (I forget what it was called!) which was baked with oil, garlic and lemon. A mix of langostine, fish fillet, shrimp and (one) scallop. I wish it was just a huge plate of langostine though! Despite this, it was cooked beautifully. My husband had a pasta dish with mushrooms and crab. Very good. The pasta was obviously fresh but I thought they could have been more heavy handed on the crab.
For dessert I had tiramisu (the real kind) and he had the chocolate cake. As I am not a huge fan of chocolate cake I thought it was ok but have to say that I had to smuggle in a taste before it was devoured. The tiramisu was nice and how it should be, not made with sponge cake and cream!
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in an authentic Italian meal in cozy surroundings.

I enjoy the food here, and have had good luck with what I've ordered (the seafood platter in particular) however my dining companions have at times not been so lucky. On one occasion, a companion complained of overly greasy food, and on another occasion, my companion paid about the same as I did for my meal and got a lot less food (that was overcooked), so needless to say he was disappointed. All that said, I think it is a fairly good restaurant - if you choose carefully you will be satisfied.

We love this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone looking for great authentic Italian food. Try the baked cheese starter and the stuffed sea bass main. You will not be disappointed.

All my friends and family love La Partenope restaurant, we love to travel, also we love to eat. This restaurant is excellent, the taste, like we eat in Italy. I had fresh mixed seafood, followed by tiramisu. Tiramisu was very nice and how it should be, not made with sponge cake and cream! The food was excellent and the staff attentive, friendly lovely owner! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in an authentic Italian meal in cozy surroundings.

This popular restaurant is run by the Tersigni family and has been open for nearly three years now. It has a great buzzing atmosphere and the food is delicious and extensive.
It serves superb fish in a wonderful and charming atmosphere. Full of flavour, superb value. Here you can find best quality and quanitity in prefect Italian style.
It is just a great place to be.

A Neopolitan gentleman from another Italian restaurant recommended La Partenope to me, which is surely a good sign. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by the owner (who presides over the kitchen) and treated to an aperitif on the couch to prepare for dinner. The menu at La Partenope has an emphasis on fresh seafood and fine dining.
For starter, delicious buffalo mozzarella, in a tomato and basil sauce, which was delicate yet delicious. La Partenope is renowned for its seafood platters, so this was the outstanding choice for main. When it arrived, the mouth watered at the massive langoustines, squid, mussels, and juicy scallops. The Mediterranean preparation was simple yet perfect—lightly cooked in olive oil and garlic, allowing the quality of the seafood, particularly the scallops to shine through.
The restaurant was fairly busy for a week night, which was good for the ambience in this family run restaurant. The bill was quite expensive relative to the La Partenope’s good value lunch menu, but is comparable to other quality seafood restaurants like Creelers or Skippers. To conclude a nice restaurant, lovely staff and delicious scallops.
