Itinerary
On the Naples Street Food Tour, you’ll dive into the city’s stunning historic center, wandering through a maze of centuries-old palazzos and lively streets. Along the way, you’ll stop at some of the most loved restaurants and food shops, tasting the finest and most iconic variations of Neapolitan street food.
In Naples you'll find a peculiar specialty, the pasta fritter (“frittatina di pasta”): get ready to savor a true taste of tradition. Packed with pasta, eggs, and local flavors, every bite bursts with hearty, comforting goodness that will leave you craving more!
Taste one of Naples’ most iconic street food specialties: pizza a portafoglio. Prepared along the lively Via dei Tribunali, this freshly baked pizza is folded into quarters and enjoyed hot on the go. Soft, fragrant, and rich in flavor, it perfectly captures the soul of Neapolitan tradition and the vibrant energy of this historic area.
Before moving on, enjoy a comforting plate of pasta with traditional Neapolitan ragù in one of the lively university districts of the city. Surrounded by busy streets, historic buildings, and a youthful local atmosphere, this area perfectly reflects everyday Neapolitan life. The slow-cooked, rich ragù adds a classic taste of home-style cooking, making the experience both flavorful and authentic.
The tour comes to a sweet and relaxing conclusion in one of the city’s most atmospheric historic quarters, where quiet streets and timeless architecture create the perfect setting to slow down. Here, you’ll enjoy a classic Neapolitan dessert, choosing between a flaky sfogliatella or a soft, rum-soaked babà, paired with a traditional Italian espresso. A simple yet unforgettable finale that captures the soul, flavors, and everyday rituals of Naples.
You will start with one of the most traditional Neapolitan street foods, the tarallo. Crunchy and fragrant, this baked ring-shaped snack is made with almonds, lard, black pepper, and spices, and has been a local favorite for generations. A true symbol of everyday life in Naples, it’s the perfect introduction to the city’s rich street food culture before continuing with the rest of the tasting experience.

Ciro gave an amazing tour that went far beyond just Naples Food since he was a font of knowledge about Naples culture, history and fun facts. Ciro seemed to know everyone in town and being with him made the streets come alive. The 5 food stops included a snack to start, generous portions, ( come hungry ) and a dessert and coffee to round out the evening. We recommend that you book this tour for your 1st evening in Naples since Ciro has many good recommendations of local attractions and things to do. Highly recommended !
Gaia our tour guide was lovely. Very knowledgeable. There is a lot of food to eat, don’t bother with breakfast beforehand! Quite expensive - but we wouldn’t have done it without a guide - ate lots of things we wouldn’t normally pick.
We had a great time with our guide Gaia who showed us all the main streets that connect the heart of Naples and took us to some of the best street food places that a regular tourist would miss on their own. We had fun with the experience and the knowledge of the local guide.
Gaia was a fantastic guide. Food was lovely - there was a lot of it! Don’t eat breakfast before you come. The ragu pasta and pizza were favourites
Food and guide was great! We wanted something short and sweet and this was just that. We tasted delicious food and the guide was very informative but not boring.

Gaia was an excellent guide with a wide range of knowledge. She lead the group through the streets commenting on the view, neighborhoods, traditions, and of course the food. All food was excellent, Gaia made sure no one got lost, and gave excellent recommendations for after the tour was over. Highly recommended.
