Two of Italy’s most famous culinary delights originated in Naples, or just south it – pizza was famously invented in the southern Italian city, and pasta first appeared in Grangnano, just south of Naples. As a result there are many places who cash in on being the ‘place where pizza was born’, but there are also restaurants that offer the best pizza you will find anywhere in the world.
To help you pick a restaurant that offers authentic pizza, look for the ‘Vera Pizza’ sign. They take their pizza seriously here, and as a result you must earn this sign. If you do, it means the pizza you serve is authentic, Neapolitan pizza. Many can be found around Centro Storico, while there are others in Mercato, not far from the train station.
Like in all Italian cities, there are different types of eateries. First you have the self-explanatory ‘pizzerias’, then you have ‘trattorias’ and ‘osterias’ which are informal restaurants, usually family-run, and finally you have ‘ristorantes’ which are the most formal type.
The good news for the budget traveller is that you can eat out every night for pittance. Pizzas can cost as little as €2.50. The only thing is you may need to spend that saved money on new shorts. They can cause waists to expand somewhat.
