Naples Street Food

We will begin with a stroll through the dense historical center of Naples, all the while discussing some of the most important culinary traditions of the city, how they were born and how Neapolitan cuisine has evolved throughout the centuries. You will discuss the different preparation techniques dating back to the influence of the Spanish and Norman domination on Neapolitan food, with their smoked herrings and anchovies, which to-date are still the topping for the low-calorie (so-to-speak) version of pizza called Pizza Marinara. You will learn the legendary story about the origins of pizza Margherita and why mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes are mandatory and essential ingredients for any Italian. As we wind our way through the characteristic neighborhoods of via Toledo and Spaccanapoli, we will stop at some of the oldest and more traditional cafes and pastry shops. Depending on the time of the year and your interest, we will taste traditional Neapolitan snacks and sweets such as taralli, baba' al Rhum, and sfogliatelle.

Pizza Making Class

After this enticing appetizer, we will visit one of Naples' most traditional pizzerias. Here you will be given the ingredients and tools to make your own pizza Napoletana. A trained pizzaiolo will supervise your work and give you advice for achieving the perfect dough consistency and the right sauce-spreading and mozzarella-sprinkling techniques. Once the pizza is taken from the wood-burning oven, we will sit down and eat our masterpiece!
