A Look at the Napoli Scudetto Block Party Outside Ribalta Ristorante in New York City

Rosario got the party started
After God, Naples.*
After Mass, Real Partenopea returned to Ribalta Ristorante in Manhattan Sunday afternoon to enjoy another delicious Neapolitan meal and watch our beloved Napoli finally lift the championship trophy. Our little troop nestled in among the throng of jubilant supporters who gathered from far and wide to watch Gli Azzuri’s final match of the season against Sampdoria at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples. As the official Napoli Club NYC, Ribalta was the perfect place to go, outside the Capital itself, to celebrate this historic moment. Grazie ragazzi e Forza Napoli Sempre!

We are rooting against Fiorentina, Roma and Inter. One down, two to go
The ultimate vanity plate
