Ultimate Naples Food Tour – Naples, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Start your Italian journey off right with a cup of espresso and discover the unwritten rules of coffee in Naples. Visit a fourth generation family-owned café with their own special brew that took years to perfect. Try it for yourself and discover why it’s a favorite among locals.

Next, pop into a bakery on small street that you’d walk by if it weren’t for your expert local guide. You’ll savor the iconic sfogliatella pastry, a luscious, flaky delight melts in your mouth with every bite.

Your Naples food tour continues at the bustling market, where you’ll enjoy a cuoppo di pesce—a succulent fried seafood dish. See the display of freshly caught fish for sale and rub shoulders with locals in this busy stall.

Moving on to the next stop, you’ll try the cookie-like taralli from a beloved family-run bakery open since the early 1900s and known for its authentic Italian pastries and breads.

As the day progresses, it’s time for a beloved local treat: fried pizza! You’ll try it at an iconic pizzeria run by a father and son in the Spanish Quarter. From there, you’ll cap off your Neapolitan pizza experience with a glass of red and white wine at a cozy bar—an ideal spot for observing the lively Spanish Quarter.

Next up, visit a local takeaway for some of the tastiest bread and meatball creations around. This is the first restaurant in Naples dedicated to the Neapolitan ragù sauce. It’s prepared the traditional way daily on-site: cooked for 6-8 hours and left to sit overnight for the best flavor.

Then, it’s a short walk to a family-run grocery store that opened in 1965 for mouthwatering mozzarella, olives, and salami.

Step into a cozy and welcoming trattoria with an open kitchen that allows guests to watch their meal being prepared by the talented chefs. Here you’ll sink your teeth into a flavorsome frittata di pasta.

Finally, your Naples food tour ends on a sweet note. Reflect on all the delicious flavors experienced along the way as you indulge in a traditional Italian dessert coupled with a glass of limoncello at a pastry shop serving locals for the past 50 years.
