Studioburger

Many thanks to Unilocal CM Maddalena for having uncovered this gem of a burgher joint and choosing it for the last Elite event before Christmas. It was just around the corner from where I usually stay in Mergellina in Naples, but somehow I had not yet discovered it.
What can I say? Even though it is cozy in size you notice just walking in an attention to detail that promises the same attention in the food and service the comes in later. Large bay windows, wooden tables and fixtures, a surrounding blackboard on both walls advertising the quality and surprising variety of hot sandwiches and appetizers on offer. Even the bathrooms, proportional in size to rest, are detailed and clean. I particularly like the potpourri tucked into bedroom slippers.
Then of course there is the beer. An excellent selection of craft beers led by Piedmont’s Balladin. And a smaller but very interesting selection of three tap beers.
The food tries to find the right mix of ingredients found between local specialties, km0, Italian specialties and a fee international products that are rare in Italy but part of the hot sandwich tradition in a Europe and America (this is the first place use pastrami I’ve found in Italy’s south). My evening was similar to Thursday’s menu where you can try collections of their sandwiches, but in miniature. The burgher with. Marcheggiana beef was particularly tasty. And if you are not worried. About your waistline they have tasty chicken fingers fried in corn flakes and fries made from targeted km 0 potatoes.
