During your stay in Naples you will have to taste some of our traditional dishes, especially pizza, pastries and coffee, specialties for which Naples is famous worldwide.
Among the many pizzas, we recommend you try the only two authentic variations to discover real flavor: the Margherita, with tomato and mozzarella, and the Marinara, with tomato, garlic and oregano.
You should also try Pastiera pastries which are prepared to celebrate the arrival of summer and Easter. The recipe is based on ricotta and wheat and is nowadays found all year round in Neapolitan pastry shops.
Lastly, don't forget to try "na tazzulella 'e cafè", a cup of coffee: Naples is the home of espresso coffee. It was right here that a Neapolitan gentleman invented an espresso coffee making machine, created to cut preparation time and allow people to fully taste the coffee aroma.
