Il Corno
Neapolitan panuozzo bar in the Covered Market, named for the southern Italian good-luck horn.
Il Corno is a Neapolitan panuozzo bar inside the Covered Market, on the Market Street side, named for the red horn amulet worn in Naples for luck. The panuozzo — a long flat sandwich made from pizza dough, baked and then filled — is the house product, with five named for Neapolitan icons: the vegetarian Il Corno (mozzarella, tomato, basil), San Gennaro (smoked provola, pancetta), Bella 'Mbriana (peppers and friarielli broccoli, both supplied by Casa Marrazzo), Munaciello (smoked provola, sausages, friarielli), and the dessert Pulcinella with chocolate spread. A vegan mozzarella substitution is offered at no extra cost.
The bar list reaches further into Campania than the lunchtime crowd often needs: Aglianico, Falanghina and Greco wines from the region, plus limoncello, limoncello spritz, Italian sodas, espresso and babà al rum. Alongside the food, Il Corno runs a small Italian cultural programme — book clubs, tombola nights, and an annual academic talk series titled Conversations Around Naples.
Closed Tuesdays; later openings on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
