In Naples' Vomero district, Barbeqool offers a meat-focused restaurant built around fire, grilling and slow smoking. Located at Via Giovanni Merliani 110, it combines an Italian braceria approach with American barbecue techniques. Chef and owner Franco Marzano leads the kitchen.
Smoke, fire and selected cuts
The restaurant describes itself as a braceria, smokehouse and American bar. Cooking centers on live fire and slow BBQ smoking, applied to selected cuts and meat dishes rather than a single fixed formula.
A distinctive point is the selection of beef: cuts are chosen according to marbling and flavor rather than commitment to one cattle breed. For visitors, that means the menu is organized around eating quality and preparation, not breed labels.
What is on the menu
The offer includes selected steaks alongside American-style preparations such as pulled pork and brisket, plus other meat dishes, antipasti, wine and whiskey. External listing information also describes steaks, antipasti, pulled pork and smoked meats as part of the restaurant's profile.
For readers unfamiliar with the format: pulled pork and brisket are slow-cooked barbecue classics, different in texture from a grilled steak. If you want to understand how Barbeqool combines American smoking with a Vomero braceria, you might consider including one grilled cut and one slow-smoked preparation in your order.
Wine from Campania, Italy and France
The official site lists a wine selection focused on Campania, Italian and French labels. That gives visitors a useful starting point: Campanian wines for a local pairing, alongside Italian and French bottles for broader choices with rich, smoked meat.
Prices and planning your visit
Two price references are available and should be read carefully. The reported tasting experience costs 60 euros per person excluding wine, presented as an article-specific price rather than the current menu. An external listing separately reports an approximate range of 30–40 euros per person.
In practice, the final cost will depend on what you order, especially the cuts selected and wine. Menus, prices and availability of individual dishes can change, so confirm them directly with the restaurant before visiting.
Opening information is also worth checking in advance: the acquired material is not fully consistent on hours, with one source describing evening opening and an external listing indicating Sunday closure. Use the restaurant's official channels for current days and hours.
Barbeqool is near the Parrocchia di San Gennaro al Vomero area, which can help orient first-time visitors to Vomero. No independently verified coordinates were available, so rely on the street address: Via Giovanni Merliani 110, Naples.
