Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
Naples' best pizza is eaten standing or on a small plastic table - the most expensive restaurants are often not the best
Sfogliatella tastes completely different cold vs fresh from the oven - always buy hot
The colatura di alici from Cetara is a unique Campanian product worth buying as a gift
Fresh buffalo mozzarella eaten the day it's made (near Paestum or Caserta) is a completely different product from imported versions
Ask for 'un caffè sospeso' at a Naples bar to experience the suspended coffee tradition
Sunday ragù is the definitive Naples food experience - seek out a neighborhood trattoria that cooks it
