What to eat in Naples, Italy

Città Metropolitana di Napoli, Italia

Naples is the birthplace of pizza, and its food culture runs far deeper than that single icon. Vendors at the city's street markets sell fried cuoppo cones stuffed with seafood and vegetables, while historic pastry shops in the centro storico have been producing sfogliatelle and babà for generations. The volcanic soil of Campania and the waters of the Gulf of Naples supply ingredients that chefs elsewhere can only imitate.

This video takes you through the essential dishes and where to find them, from a wood-fired margherita in a cramped Spaccanapoli pizzeria to a espresso pulled at a marble-topped bar. Expect honest, specific guidance on what to order, what to avoid, and why Neapolitan food tastes different here than anywhere else in the world.
