Another must-try of Neapolitan tradition is the frittatina di pasta, a small fried pasta pie that’s golden and crispy on the outside, with a creamy, cheesy filling on the inside. Often enriched with béchamel, cheese, ham, or peas, it perfectly showcases Naples’ inventive street food culture and is sure to delight anyone with its rich flavors and comforting texture.

Two of the most iconic symbols of Neapolitan cuisine are the Pizza Margherita and the Pizza Marinara. The Margherita is simple yet perfect, topped with fresh tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, fragrant basil, and a drizzle of olive oil, representing the colors of the Italian flag. The Marinara, even older and equally beloved, features tomato, garlic, oregano, and olive oil—stripped down to its essentials but bursting with authentic Neapolitan flavor. Both are must-tries for anyone wanting a true taste of Naples’ pizza heritage.

A simple yet unforgettable finale that captures the soul, flavors, and everyday rituals of Naples.
