Eat in Naples

If you eat a pizza in an other city of Italy and you’ll remain disappointed, well… You deserve it! The pizza is a Neapolitan property. In many places of the world people try to pass as pizza ridiculous round, thin and salty cakes. The real recipe obeys precise laws and it’s made of few simple ingredients: water, flour, salt and leaven. A thin dough with a thick and tasty border.
You can find it with a lot of condiments (all very caloric), but the original pizza is the Margherita. It was invented by the pizza maker Raffaele Esposito in honour of the Queen Margherita. Esposito flavoured the pizza with tomatoes, mozzarella, oil and basil. He invented the most envied, good and patriotic dish of the world. In Naples the pizza is excellent everywhere: if you want to find a place where you don’t eat well, it will be a difficult feat. Obviously the Neapolitan food isn’t only pizza: it’s something extraordinary a real symphony of tastes, colours and calories. Think about a plate… well, probably it was invented in Naples: spaghetti, ragù, lasagne, pasta, all kinds of seafood, chops, “soffritto” (a sauce made of oil, onions, carrots and celery), cakes, babà, pastiera… so sit down and let’s try it!
