Hello!
We are planning a trip for the summer and one of our stop will be Naples.
We would love to do a walking tour including stops at some local cafes, pizzerias, etc.
I would like to taste sfogliatella, gelato, pizza and all the local delicacies!
Has anyone done something similar and has recommendations?
Thank you very much!
Lauren and Bill
I don't have any experience with organized food tours in Naples, but my advice is just follow your nose! Best sfogliatelle are found in bakeries (usually the baking starts around midnight or later) and there are many different types, including the most traditional one with phyllo-type dough strips wound around a ricotta and diced fruit filling.
Da Michele is the most famous place for pizza; I think they still only have two varieties, plus some deep-fried snacks.
For gelato, look for signs that say "produzione proprio" which means it is made by the shop. I don't have a favorite, but I'm sure you'll get specific recommendations to your post.
Local delicacies: seafood of all kinds. Good restaurants near the harbor, some still cater mainly to locals and have very good prices. As always, take a moment to see what smells and looks delicious.
And, don't forget the cappuccino!
Hi Lauren,
I have booked an evening walking food tour of Naples.
I think that we'll have a guided sightseeing of the city and a reach dinner (7 stops!!).
Anyway I'll let you know on Monday :))
