Naples Street Food and Neighborhood Walk

The street food of Naples is one of Italy's most complete traditions. A proper Naples street food tour covers: pizza fritta (fried pizza, a calzone-style pocket fried in lard or oil, EUR 3-4, the original pizza of the working poor before gas ovens were common), sfogliatella (the shell-shaped pastry, riccia is the multi-layered crispy version filled with ricotta and semolina, frolla is the shortcrust version, riccia is the correct one, EUR 2-3, from Sfogliatella Mary at Stazione Centrale or Pintauro on Via Toledo), cuoppo (a paper cone of fried food, mixed seafood or vegetable, EUR 5-7), o per e o muss (pig ear and snout, the traditional working-class street food, from the street vendors with the wheeled carts, EUR 2-3), struffoli (honey and fried dough, seasonal), and the espresso (EUR 1-1.20, standing at the bar, never sitting, the best is at a neighbourhood bar not at the tourist places). Guided street food tours run EUR 40-70 per person for 3 hours and hit 6-8 stops.
