Naples: A Culinary Adventure

No exploration of Naples is complete without indulging in some delicious food. These dishes are typical of Naples and a must-try while in the city:

  • Neapolitan Pizza: This iconic dish is made with a thin, chewy crust cooked in a wood-fired oven. Toppings are simple, typically featuring San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil.
  • Pasta e Fagioli: A hearty and flavourful pasta bean soup.
  • Spaghetti alle Vongole: Fresh clams cooked with olive oil, garlic, white wine, and parsley.
  • Seafood: With its proximity to the coast, Naples offers an abundance of fresh seafood dishes. Try the Impepata di Cozze (mussels steamed in white wine with garlic and chili flakes) or Spaghetti alle Vongole (spaghetti with clams).
  • Street Food: Naples’s is a haven for street food lovers. Try the Cuoppo, a paper cone filled with fried goodies like potato croquettes, fried fish, and vegetables.
  • Sfogliatella: This flaky pastry filled with ricotta cheese and candied orange peel is a Neapolitan dessert must-try.
