It's a city where food is cherished and savoured, and every meal becomes an experience to remember. At the heart of Neapolitan cuisine is the beloved pizza, crafted with a thin, chewy crust, flavourful tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil. This iconic dish has captivated taste buds around the world.

Seafood holds a special place in Neapolitan cuisine, with dishes like spaghetti alle vongole (clams), pesce all'acqua pazza (fish cooked in "crazy water"), and frittura di paranza (mixed fried seafood) showcasing the freshest flavours of the Mediterranean.

Pasta also takes centre stage, with classics like spaghetti aglio e olio (garlic and oil), pasta alla Genovese (pasta with a slow-cooked onion-based sauce), and the hearty ragù Napoletano (meat sauce) that simmers for hours, creating a robust and comforting dish.

To satisfy your sweet tooth, Naples offers an array of delightful treats. Sfogliatelle, delicate pastry shells filled with sweet ricotta or cream, are a beloved speciality. The famous pastiera napoletana, a ricotta and grain pie perfumed with orange blossom water, is a traditional Easter dessert that captivates with its unique flavours.
