Jamón

Naples


Great for a piazza-side graze, this savvy little deli–wine bar sits at the top of sweeping Piazza San Domenico Maggiore. Offerings include niche and harder-to-find charcuterie and cheese; think cinnamon-seasoned Tuscan mortadella and prosciutto di suino nero dei Nebroli (Sicily's answer to Spanish pata negra). Savour them in a tasting plate, or sliced and freshly stuffed into a crusty panino.

Either way, wash down the goodness with a tumbler or two of Old- or New-World wine. On busier nights, the place stays open later than the official closing time.
