Eating
Pizza and pasta are the staples of Neapolitan cuisine. Pizza was created here and nowhere
will you eat it better. Seafood is another local speciality and you'll find mussels and clams
served in many dishes.
Neapolitan street food is equally brilliant.
Misto di frittura
- zucchini flowers, deep-
fried potato and aubergine - makes for a great snack, especially if eaten from paper out-
side a tiny streetside stall.
It's always sensible to book a table if dining at a restaurant on a Friday or Saturday
night. Also note that many eateries close for two to four weeks in August, so check before
heading out.
