Ultimate Naples Food Tour

### Eat your way through the gastronomic heart of southern Italy on a carefully crafted Naples food tour.

Get a crash course in Neapolitan food as you taste all the city’s must-try classics in one morning. From a traditional local market to a modern pizzeria and every place in between, you’ll visit the decades-old establishments that are the backbone of the city center. As you comb the backstreets of Naples in the company of a local foodie, you’ll try two types of pizza, freshly fried seafoods, traditional pastries, and plenty more tastes that have won the hearts (and tastebuds!) of generations of napoletani.

Taste local specialties and explore the eclectic market in lively Pignasecca.

Start your Naples food tour in true Italian fashion with an espresso in hand. As you sip, your guide will fill you in on the intricate etiquette of coffee culture here in Naples. Follow it up with two different styles of light, flaky sfogliatella (Naples’ favorite typical pastry) from a blink-and-you'll-miss-it hidden bakery tucked away in the bustling backstreets.

From there, we’ll head into the heart of Naples’ food scene: the open-air Pignasecca market. As you make your way through the colorful stalls, with neighborhood residents doing their grocery shopping and chatting in Italian and Neapolitan with the vendors, you’ll be immersed in a true slice of daily life in southern Italy.

Our first stop at the market is an unassuming restaurant manned by the same team behind one of the most popular fresh fish stalls in the market, just steps away. Watch as the fishmongers fry up a traditional serving of cuoppo di pesce (incredible fried seafood)—and, of course, try it for yourself.

Time for another sweet treat! We’re off to a family-run bakery that’s been going strong for nearly a century to sample their delicious taralli cookies.

Dig into two types of pizza in the city that created it!

Our next order of business: fried pizza. A locally loved alternative to the popular Neapolitan pizza, this is the perfect snack to grab and eat on the go just like the napoletani. We’ll introduce you to our friends Antonio and Gennaro, the father-son team behind the most beloved pizza fritta in the Spanish Quarter. Sink your teeth into this warm, crispy staple of Naples street food and hear what makes theirs some of the best in the city.

From there, we’re off to a small, family-run produce store to meet Tina, the owner, and try the ripest and juiciest tomatoes followed by a tasting of mozzarella di bufala, fiordilatte, provola in a nearby deli. After trying these two staples in Italian cuisine, you'll understand the key to the best dishes is high-quality, simple ingredients.

At lunchtime, you'll feast on a Margherita pizza at modern pizzeria dedicated to footballer Maradona. You also meet Andrea, the owner, and peek behind the counter at the talented pizzaioli.

Your culinary journey through Naples ends with a little surprise. You'll head to a famous street kiosk for a refreshing and unique lemonade made with lemons from Sorrento. Locals describe this beverage as a mini-Vesuvius. Luckily, you have your expert foodie guide to show you how to drink it!

Eat and explore in the company of a local expert.
