About this tour
This is a street food walk through the old centre of Naples, moving from a family pizzeria on Via dei Tribunali to a fry shop, a pastry counter and a historic caffè. You see a Margherita go into a wood-fired oven, pizza fritta lifted from hot oil, and sfogliatella riccia straight from the tray. Along the way the guide explains the caffè sospeso, the tradition of leaving a coffee paid forward for a stranger.
After the sound check, the walk moves counter to counter through the four stops, pausing for questions about each dish and its history. A list of the shops and what they make is sent once the call ends.
This suits anyone who plans a trip around food, or wants a taste of Naples street life without leaving home.
Included

Through the open doorway, the camera shows a family pizzaiolo sliding a Margherita into the wood-fired oven, while the guide explains what makes a true Neapolitan crust.

A Naples fry shop 21 min
At the counter, the guide watches pizza fritta come out of the oil, the fried dough once sold on the street during the hungriest years after the war, alongside a cuoppo of fried seafood and a frittatina di pasta.

A pastry counter 21 min
The camera follows trays of sfogliatella riccia coming out of the oven, and the guide explains the layers of paper-thin pastry that give it the name riccia, meaning curly.
