Mimi alla Ferrovia is a well-known restaurant at Via Alfonso d'Aragona 21, a short walk from Napoli Centrale station and Piazza Garibaldi in Naples, Campania, Italy. Its position near the main railway terminal has made it a familiar stop for locals before or after train journeys, as well as for travellers arriving in the city with luggage and an appetite. The cuisine is classic Neapolitan, with a menu that covers pasta, seafood and pizza. The signature dishes include pasta with seafood, genovese, the slow-cooked onion and meat sauce served over pasta, and pizza, which gives the restaurant range for groups with different preferences. These dishes are standard bearers of the Naples repertoire and are prepared in a traditional, generous style rather than a modern or experimental one. The dining room is large, traditional and busy, with waiters moving quickly between tables, a moderately high noise level at peak times and no dress code. The drinks list includes regional wines by the glass or bottle, beer and soft drinks. Prices are mid-range, in line with other traditional restaurants of the city. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and is typically closed on Sunday, so visitors should confirm hours locally. Reservations are advised, especially for dinner and for groups, since the room can fill with locals as well as visitors. The area around Piazza Garibaldi is busy and can feel rough at night, so many visitors prefer lunch or an early dinner and take a taxi after dark. The location is convenient for those with an early train, a stopover between connections, or a hotel near the station, and it is a short ride by metro or taxi to the historic centre.
