How to Get Fat in Naples in one day - 5 Hours - put on a few pounds of happiness ⭐

How to Get Fat in Naples in one day - 5 Hours - put on a few pounds of happiness

one day in Naples is plenty of time to find your inner fat kid.
Here is everything that you should try to eat if you only have one day in Napoli:
Coffee - After you get your coffee (caffe ristretto ) at
Centrale del caffe      (Via Benedetto Croce, 16 - location Centrale del caffe )
Sfogliatelle and the ministeriale - Maybe you have heard of these. Flakey, crunchy layers that give way to a ricotta/almond/orange center.
But what you really need to try is sfogliatella frolla – the round babies in the upper right. Amazing straight from the oven with a dense ricotta and candied orange core.
Get them (sfogliatelle and ministeriale) from Pasticceria Scaturchio ( P.za S. Domenico Maggiore, 19 - location  Pasticceria Scaturchio  ). It is near the station and an easy first stop when you arrive.
Ministeriale - these were invented by Scaturchio around 1900 when he was trying to impress a woman with ties to the royal court. His mistress was so taken with the chocolate shell filled with a creamy liquor center that Scaturchio was encouraged to have the chocolate officially approved for Royal tables.
This required a lengthy bureaucratic battle with several different ministries — hence the name.
Long story short, the bureaucratic chocolate is fantastic. Eat it.
Aperitivo Campari spritz - at Drinkspoint ( Via Pasquale Scura , 21 - location   Drinkspoint   )
It is one of the most celebrated spritz bars in the city "the best campari spritz in town" in my opinion , located on the main artery the so called Spaccanapoli close to pizzeria 22 . Great staff, Super Well priced + good vibes and friendly . Simone the owner is super kind , once there ask about him the magic word is : Ciao Simone I'm here on behalf of Sal mix me a magic Aperol/Campari spritz.....
Pizza - After starting your day with so much sugar and waiting patiently for Pizzeria 22 (Via Pignasecca , 22 - location Pizzeria 22  ) to open at 12 pm, you can finally have your first pizza.
My tip : before ordering the pizza as antipasto try the parmigiana di melanzane (eggplant parmesan..........it is poetry)
It will be your best pizza.
Really one of the best pizza In town .
Baba' - (as dessert after pizza) the "sponge delicacy" made in Naples
get it at Pasticceria Capparelli ( Via dei Tribunali, 327 - Location Pasticceria Capparelli   ) This rummy, yeasted sponge cake is rich with Rum , butter while light and airy at the same time. Do not pick the one with cream but get the basic "the classic"
Fritti misti - After bravely consuming much additional sugar, you should definitely get a palate cleanser. i opt for frittura mista at Pizzeria di Matteo (Via dei Tribunali, 94 - location  Di Matteo pizzeria   ).
That would be: fried eggplant (melanza fritta ), croquettes (panzarotto) , arancini (palla di riso )and finally fried fried "zeppole". (Literally just fried dough).
The bite size palla di riso is the perfect mix of fried rice , salt, meat pepper and cheese. Love. ( you can pick the white or the red version with sauce...my fav is the white "no sauce")
I know you are saving room, but really… fritti and pizza call for a Peroni Nastro azzurro beer .
Pizza Fritta - Besides, you can save stomach space by opting for a pizza fritta
the Most Treasured Street Food in Naples .
Stuffed with fluffy ricotta and crispy pork cracklings, pizza fritta (fried pizza) is classic Neapolitan street food that tells a meaningful tale.
When most people think of Neapolitan pizza, the first to come to mind is the UNESCO-protected wood-fired pies with a raised cornicione (crust). Yet the PIZZA FRITTA (fried pizza) is one of the city’s most beloved street foods, and its humble origins make it even more meaningful.
Get it at "1947 pizza fritta" (Via Pietro Colletta, 29/31 -  location Pizza Fritta 1947 )
Gelato - And Finally Gelato 
The best ice cream ever!
Get it at Mennella il gelato ( Via Toledo, 110 - location Mennella il Gelato  )


Hours: 5
Pizzas: 2 (margherita at 22 pizzeria + pizza fritta at 1947 pizza fritta)
Fritti: 5 ( at pizzeria di Matteo arancino + panzarotto + melanzana + crocche' + zeppola )
