A Diva at the Trattoria: our tribute to Sophia Loren

At Trattoria del Golfo we decided to go big: nothing less than a photo shoot inspired by the queen of queens, our very own Sophia Loren!
For one day, the aroma of ragù and the sound of laughter made way for camera flashes, diva poses and ear-to-ear smiles… just like she used to do, the most beautiful of them all, the one who makes people turn round as she walks by and say: “Uè, who’s that? Sophia Loren?”

We wanted to bring in a little of the cinema we fell in love with, among lavishly laid tables and dishes that make your head spin more than any romantic film. We had great fun recreating the atmosphere of Naples’ golden years, between a laugh, a “che bella guagliona!” (what a beautiful girl!) and a plate of spaghetti that… not even Sophia could resist!

Between one shot and the next, someone even tried throwing pasta like in the great films, but Nonna soon brought us back into line: “Guagliù (kids), here we eat, we don’t play!”
Because at Trattoria del Golfo cooking is a serious business, but there’s never a shortage of smiles – nor of a slice of pastiera at the end of the meal, which here is a must.

We wanted to pay tribute to Sophia Loren because, let’s face it, we all feel a little like her: beautiful, genuine and with a big, big heart. And besides, as she used to say, “Everything you see I owe to spaghetti.”
Well then, come and see for yourselves… and above all, come and eat!

Have a look at our gallery and take a journey through the aromas, flavours and memories of a Naples that never goes out of fashion. And if it makes you smile, all the better: it means you already feel a bit at home!

At Trattoria del Golfo, the real stars are you. And remember: eat well and you’ll live to a hundred… with a lovely smile, too!
