Built in 1870, the exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings and sky-high windows set the stage for a tableau of Neapolitan life, complete with shuttered &#8220;windows&#8221; overlooking the dining room and bar, and a faux balcony above the dining room similar to the Santa Rosa restaurant.

A native of Naples, he&#8217;s imported not only the feel of his hometown but authentic Italian ingredients and a Southern Italian staff mostly made of friends from home. When you&#8217;re at De Angelis\u2019 restaurant, which he owns with Roberto Sbaraglia, you&#8217;re truly part of a family.<\/p>\n<p>That includes plenty of intentional cacophony that the owners say is part of the fun. When I asked about the rising decibel level as the night progressed \u2014 Americans tend to be sensitive about that kind of thing \u2014 the answer was that Naples can be loud and chaotic, and they wanted to recreate that atmosphere.<\/p>\n<h3>An expanded space, expanded menu<\/h3>\n<p>More than double the size of the flagship Neapolitan-style pizzeria and trattoria in Santa Rosa, the second outpost of L&#8217;Oro di Napoli opened in early March at the former Thai Issan.<\/p>\n<p>Santa Rosans have been flocking to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/santa-rosas-loro-di-napoli-serves-some-of-the-best-pizza-this-side-of-the-atlantic\/\">original L&#8217;Oro di Napoli on Fourth Street<\/a> since it opened in 2022.

Offerings include a long list of antipasti, such as fried calamari, Brussels sprouts with pecorino, salads and most importantly, fresh pasta, plus new entr\u00e9es like zucchini Parmesan and branzino with a lemon-wine sauce. The one thing you won&#8217;t find is the legendary lasagna \u2014 De Angelis wants to keep that a Santa Rosa specialty.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the many little surprise and delightful moments at L&#8217;Oro di Napoli, the food never takes a back seat. De Angelis and his crew know how to make the comforting, approachable Southern Italian cuisine of their ancestors. The Pompeii-style wood-fired oven, imported from Naples, would be recognizable to ancestors from millennia past, cooking the same style of bread and round dough unearthed by archaeologists.<\/p>\n<p>L&#8217;Oro di Napoli is a joy to experience, from the moment you walk in the doors to your last bite of tiramisu.

It&#8217;s wonderful, but keep a couple of slices to sop up sauce.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Caprese con burrata, $15:<\/strong> A fist-sized ball of soft mozzarella stuffed with cream is never a bad choice.
