Culinary Secrets of Backstreet Naples

On this food tour in Naples, we’ll contrast the narrow cobblestoned alleys of Centro Storico with what lies beyond the old city walls in the thriving old neighborhoods that crowd Naples’ historic gates. We’ll start in a third-generation pasticceria for a Neapolitan coffee and sfogliatella, followed by the famous baba au rum. We will then plunge into the traditional food shops, stopping for a quick limoncello in a most unusual place before a snack of classic, seasonal Napoli street food and, of course, there will be pizza in more than one form. We’ll then move beyond the walls into a very different area teeming with local life and market streets. We’ll stop into a baccaleria, before sampling the healing waters of Vesuvius at a kiosk in the market.  We’ll visit a family-run bakery, where we will make our own Neapolitan caponata.
Our day will be dedicated to experiencing the everyday food traditions served up with the superlative hospitality that is the hallmark of the Neapolitano.
