About this tour
Join Cesare for a two-hour ramble through Naples' tight-knit streets, tasting street food the way locals have for generations. You'll sample fresh mozzarella paired with regional wine, golden-fried potato croquettes, a slice of wood-fired pizza, and a choice of traditional pastries—Babà or Sfogliatella—whilst picking up the stories behind each bite. The city's layered history, shaped by successive rulers, lives on in every dish and neighbourhood corner you'll explore together.

What to expect
Expect a proper walking tour at a gentle pace through Naples' characterful narrow alleys. You'll stop at working food stalls and hole-in-the-wall vendors, not tourist setups. Cesare will point out the cultural layers—Greek, Roman, Norman, Spanish—visible in architecture and reflected in how Neapolitans eat. Between tastings, there's genuine conversation with locals and insight into why certain dishes matter here. It's as much about understanding the city's DNA as filling your belly.
Good to know
The route sticks to pedestrianised lanes fully accessible for wheelchairs and prams. Wear comfortable shoes for two hours of ambling. Most street food is eaten standing or whilst walking. If you have dietary restrictions, mention them when booking so Cesare can adjust tastings.
