6 Foods You Must Eat in Naples, Italy

Ciao, escapaders!  Italy is a dream destination world-wide; honeymooners, large bus tour groups, and backpackers – everyone is looking to experience the wanderlust Italian culture.  There’s Rome, Venice, Milan, Florence, and so on…but Naples??  People often skip the overlooked coastal city of Naples because of its supposedly bad rep, toxic waste, destitution, and high crime rate; everyone seems to want to go to the nearby tourist central Sorrento instead.  But a very good reason to NOT skip Naples is that it offers palatable food cuisine like no other Italian city; come on, it’s the renowned birthplace of pizza!  There are lots of dishes that you simply MUST EAT to get a real taste of Italian cuisine. Here are 6 of the most delectable foods that you absolutely must eat in Naples:

#1 MARGHERITA PIZZA at Pizzeria Da Michele (Via Cesare Sersale, 1, 80139)

The traditional margherita pizza at this famous original pizzeria with Hollywood history undoubtedly meets all expectations and worth the long wait. Enjoy your own individual classic margherita pizza with a bottle of Nastro Azzurro beer.  You can see pizzas in the making – all pizzas are made right then and there in the traditional way with a traditional oven.  The tomato sauce is fresh and made just right – super tasty, juicy, and not too heavy.  The mozzarella cheese is plentiful, but not overbearing.  It’s topped off with a few pieces of basil.  Now, this is real pizza.

#2 MARINARA PIZZA at Gino e Toto Sorbillo (Via dei Tribunali, 32, 80138)

The marinara pizza is really a margherita pizza without the cheese – it’s another original pizza you must try.  Get it at Gino E Toto Sorbillo, which has a long history comparable to that of Pizzeria de Michele.  The classic marinara pizza here is to truly something to crave for and it’s suitable for vegan travelers; the tomato sauce is a mouth-watering delight and the crust is light, crispy, and thin.  The magic touch = fresh basil leaves on top.  The crust is slightly and nicely burnt.  Again, beer + pizza is one perfect match.  Just don’t overdo it with the beers!
