Freshly Caught, Fried Seafood
You'll first head over to the famous fish market where you'll see the catches of the day right from the bay. Enjoy the cuoppo fritto, or fried cone, a mouthwatering sampling of fried shrimp, calamari, and swordfish.
Taralli and Spritz: A True Neapolitan Treat
Naples is renowned for its pizza, but its street food traditions go far beyond the classic margherita. During your stroll, your guide will introduce you to artisanal Neapolitan taralli: crispy, crumbly delights enriched with almonds and black pepper. Paired with a refreshing spritz, these savory snacks make for the perfect break as you soak in the vibrant atmosphere of the local market.
Locally Cured Meats and Cheeses
After wandering the streets and learning about Naples' food culture, your guide will bring the group to a tasty stop for something a bit lighter: A local antipasto plate. Enjoy traditional salami, ricotta from the nearby mountains, fresh buffalo mozzarella, fior di latte (flower of the milk) mozzarella, and tasty taralli (like a breadstick cracker).
Try Ragù Meatballs and Local Frittatina
You’ll be enjoying delicious meatballs in a rich ragù sauce and the classic Neapolitan frittatina. This amazing street food is basically a deep-fried pasta cake filled with creamy béchamel, diced ham, cheese, and sometimes peas, all wrapped in a crispy golden breadcrumb coating. It’s crunchy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside—pure Naples comfort food!
Your Choice of a Delicious Pastry or Gelato
After a mix of savory delights, it's time for dessert: step into an amazing bakery and take in the wonderful aroma of freshly baked treats. Choose your favorite from classics like cannoli, babà, sfogliatelle, and more. Or, if you're in the mood for something cool and creamy, go for authentic Italian gelato. Your guide will be happy to share their favorite treat—maybe you'll discover a new favorite too!
Espresso and Limoncello
The tour ends the way all Italian meals should—with an espresso and a limoncello. Enjoy your coffee with a locally produced limoncello from the famous giant lemons found in Sorrento and along the Amalfi Coast. Finally, your guide will share with you the Neapolitan tradition of donating coffee to the less fortunate. It's a practice known as "caffè sospeso" and is a great way to finish off your Naples food tour.

Food Tour Napoli
Kurt G.

Tour guide was 5-Star! Tour start location changed without notice but they were quick to respond to phone call and WhatsApp messages. Group was small but in 3 languages of Italian, Spanish and English so it took more time for the guide. We enjoyed it, but not perfect 5 Star.
Okay but not Great

We are giving this a 3 because the tour was well done but the food options were not at the quality levels we were expecting for the price. Our guide though was very knowledgeable and provided us a great background to the foods and city, unfortunately the foods were bleh.
Good if not for the wrong meeting point instruction.

Our booking and confirmation instructions is in front of Bershka shop and we were there waiting 15 minutes before appointed time. 5 of us kept looking for signs or any indication of a tour group. Tried to reach tour guy and then was told to reach out to the local provider and after connecting to the local tour guide, we were told that we were at the wrong meeting point. We had to catch up with the group consists of a couple and five is us. The couple also was waiting in front of Bershka shop and were just a few minutes ahead of us to catch up with the tour leader. The tour guy insisted that we were at the right meeting place so not sure who is at fault. This is very inconsiderate, since the original meeting area is about a ten minute brisk walk along the crowded street of Montesanto to the local guide’s meeting area. By the time we caught up with her, we were very exhausted and angry. Beware of this tour. Guide and tour is good but you might be disappointed even before tour starts.
