Originating from the vibrant street food culture of Naples, this bite-sized delight is made with a batter of eggs, cheese, and various fillings, such as peas, ham, or ricotta.

The fritter is then deep-fried to a golden crisp, creating a delightful contrast between the crunchy exterior and the soft, creamy interior.

Serious Neapolitan Pizza Lunch

After savoring the traditional Neapolitan Frittatina, the food tour delves into the heart of Naples’ renowned pizza culture.

The group is served a "serious Neapolitan pizza", also known as a "wallet style" pizza, which is a thin, foldable crust topped with:

1. Freshly made buffalo mozzarella
2. Expertly cured charcuterie
3. A glass of local Campanian wine
4. An authentic espresso to complete the experience

This authentic Neapolitan pizza lunch offers an immersive taste of the city’s culinary heritage, showcasing the skill and passion that goes into crafting the perfect pizza in its birthplace.

Campania Glass of Wine

What better way to complement the authentic Neapolitan pizza than with a glass of locally produced Campanian wine?

The Napoli Food Tour offers just that – a chance to savor a glass of red or white wine from the Campania region.

These wines are crafted from grapes grown in the sun-drenched vineyards surrounding Naples, resulting in vibrant, full-bodied flavors that pair beautifully with the rich, chewy pizza.

Whether you prefer the bold, fruity notes of a Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio or the crisp, mineral-driven character of a Fiano di Avellino, this carefully selected wine will elevate your dining experience, allowing you to fully learn about the gastronomic traditions of Naples.

Mini Sfogliatella or Babà Snacks
