Napoli

We enjoyed some amazing food in Naples or as our tour guide said, Naples is in Florida this is Napoli. Napoli is know for the city that founded pizza. The story goes that the queen of Italy, Maragarit, was visiting Napoli and they created a pizza in her honor. They used mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and basil, white,red and green , the colors of the Italian flag. We asked our guide where we should get pizza and he gave us directions to a place, 15 people from our tour sat down and enjoyed some of the best pizza I have ever had. Most of the table order Margarita pizza which looked more like cheese pizza with a huge crust not like the Margarita pizza we get in the US.Here are Katie and Colin enjoying there pizza.



We had the local special with Spinach and sausage and a white sauce instead of a tomato based sauce. The spinach had a flavor I have not used to but the pizza as a whole was wonderful. One pizza was shared between two people and it hung over the plates.



For dessert we wanted to try another Napoleon special, sfogliatella. Our guide book had suggested that we find it. So we pointed to the word and asked our waiter if he knew where we could get some and he brought one out. It is a Phyllo dough thinly sliced in one piece and wrapped in a clam shape. The filling is ricotta cheese with orange flavoring. The restaurant was a great fine and we were happy to taste all the treats of Napoli
