tips & insights
Campania
cooking
has spread globally
To most foreigners "Italian cuisine" is basically Neapolitan cooking because most of the Italian immigrants to the world came from the Campanian city of Naples and its environs. When this ethnic group opened restaurants in their new countries, they naturally served the style of food it loved and knew best: Neapolitan (Campanian) cooking.
Best city for
gourmets
Naples is the top all around food city in Campania.
