What Makes Naples Center and the Spanish Quarter Special
Naples’ historic center hits you with everything at once, the noise, the scooters, the laundry between buildings, and the smell of something incredible from every doorway. This is where pizza was born, and the city never lets you forget it, legendary pizzerias serve blistered margheritas that cost almost nothing and taste like nothing else. Beyond pizza, street vendors hand you deep-fried cuoppo, kitchens simmer ragù for hours, and bakeries sell sfogliatelle still warm from the oven. Naples doesn’t ask if you’re hungry — it just feeds you.
The Spanish Quarter tumbles downhill in a tight grid of narrow alleys, hanging laundry, and tiny shrines. One of Naples’ most intensely local neighborhoods, its doors are always open — nonnas make pasta in doorways, hole-in-the-wall friggitorie hand you crocchè and pizza fritta wrapped in paper, and no-name trattorias serve the kind of generous Neapolitan cooking no guidebook could capture. It’s raw, loud, and completely unforgettable.

Food, history, culture - the Napoli way 11/10 recommend this experience. Our guide, Aldo, was amazing. Truly passionate and knowledgeable about Naples' food, history, and culture. We got a bonus city tour with our food tour too! He was very accommodating with any dietaries and helped us feel comfortable and safe throughout the whole trip. He even provided additional recipes and tips for future travel plans around Italy - truly generous. And all the food spots on the tour were highlights. The pizza in particular was a brilliant representation of traditional Neapolitan pizza. This is one tour you don't want to miss!!

An amazing experience We had an amazing experience on our walking food tasting tour in Naples with our guide Carolina. The food in Naples was fantastic, and this tour was a wonderful way to discover the city's flavors.
Carolina was an incredible guide who brought us to the best local spots and shared her passion for Neapolitan cuisine. We sampled delicious street food. Our favorites were Margarita pizza and sfogliatelle (a flaky pastry), and of course gelato. We were happy learning about the history and traditions behind each dish.
Carolina's enthusiasm and knowledge made the experience truly memorable. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Naples.

It’s found when you support the pizzerias in the Spanish Quarter, navigate the bustling streets with awareness and a smile, and show respect for the deeply held local traditions and beliefs. This is the authentic Naples experience.
It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.
