Napoli – Food

We arrived in Napoli 5 days ago and for 5 days we are eating pizza, pasta, pizza, spaghetti, and pizza! We sit down for an aperitivo, an Aperol Spritz or something, which always comes with a plate of goodies: salmon sandwiches, paper thin slices of smoked tuna, salami, olives, prosciutto, cherry tomatoes, cheeses, etc. sometimes it is popcorn, chips and peanuts, sometimes it is a a tiny pizza the size of your hand palm. I love it!

And then there is all this delicious pasta! Cooked to perfection, just enough sauce to cover and not soak everything. I love it too!

And yesterday we started this:

We met at 3.30pm with a group of 10 foodies, had an aperitivo and walked down to the waterfront. Our tour guide Chiara told us a lot of Neapolitan curiosities and stories about their way of life, history and traditions.

We took a cruise along the shoreline of Napoli; Chiara telling us stories about all those mansions, when, why, how they were built and who lived or still lives in them. It was fabulous! And what followed was a delicious dinner at “Advocato”

We were so stuffed and tired when we got home, that we went straight to bed 😴
