Culinary & Culture
Neapolitan cuisine, the perfect combination of ancient traditions and the influence of many cultures, is among the most appreciated in the world. Its sea and land dishes, prepared with the highest quality ingredients, can satisfy even the demanding palates.
Despite being the best known and revisited dish in the world, the real pizza "Margherita" is only the Neapolitan one: thin, high edges, the result of a few genuine ingredients magically combined in a symphony of flavours, colours and scents. Each dish is magically special and unique: spaghetti with clams, cannelloni, ragù, lasagna, pasta and potatoes with provola, sausages and broccoli. The famous, sfogliatelle, the delicious babà, struffoli and pastiere, all washed down with a fragrant Falanghina and, to conclude, a refreshing limoncello and a good coffee.
But beware, for Neapolitans, coffee is not a simple drink, but a ritual, a real cult: Coffee in Naples is a symbol of sociability, meeting and social identity. Naples is also famous for street food and every corner of the city hides a characteristic place where you can savour the culinary specialties of the area, a "cuoppo" of zeppole, panzarotti and other fried food to be enjoyed walking through the crowded streets or in front of a breath-taking sea landscape.
Despite we know that all of these specialties would be very tempting, please do not forget to stick to your diet, having just small bites or sips of these succulent temptations!
