Naples
If Naples just had pizza, it would be enough to qualify the southern Italian city to rank as one of the world’s great foodie cities. But, as it turns out, Neapolitan pizza is just one part of the Naples food story.
Like many before and after us, pizza was our primary reason for visiting Naples for the first time in 2014. Not only did the pizza exceed our expectations, but it also motivated us to return for a month in 2017 and a week in 2020.

But we didn’t just eat pizza during these trips to Naples. We jumped into the city’s unique coffee culture and discovered a local food culture that embraces local farm products like tomatoes literally grown on volcanic soil at nearby Mount Vesuvius and fresh fish caught in the Bay of Naples.
Food favorites in Naples include Pasta alla Genovese and Pesce Crudo, not to mention Fiocco di Neve, our new favorite sweet and a solid contender to replace the Sfogliatella as the best pastry in Naples. However, pizza will be number one on our agenda when we return to Naples yet again.
