  • O Dolci Mio!

    While I´m already busy and excited planning this years trip to Southerin Italy I realised there are still a lot of pictures from last year. To ease back into posting let´s start with something sweet. You can´t visit Naples and not try the huge variety of dolci: fruit tarts, sfogliatella, babà (for which I didn´t care that much, sorry about that Napoli), struffoli (didn´t try those), cannoli, granita and much more. A lot of the pasticceria offer miniversions of all the dolci, the best way to try everything without feeling too guilty!

    La Sfogliatella Mary – probably one of the most famous and most loved pasticceria. Located at Galeria Umberto.

    But just eat your way through the city, I don´t believe there is any place in Naples that won´t serve you delicious food and dolci!

  • Quartieri Spagnoli

    It´s about time to get lost in the narrow alleys of the Spanish Quarters! Football inspired streetart and SSC Napoli devotional items on every corner, laundry, roaring vespas, children playing (and sometimes even driving the vespas), neighbours talking over the streets, little shops and bars and thousands of little (and bigger) shrines everywhere!

    There’s an intimacy here in this working class neighborhood where so much action–love affairs, arguments, jokes, happen right out in the open, right before my eyes. I walk past altars put up for someone’s mamma, street level doors open to family kitchens, and my eyes meet a signorina as she stirs at the stove. Often tables from those kitchens are simply moved out to the street–so what I thought at first must be a great family restaurant, is actually simply a great family dining al fresco outside their front door, giving me a smile as I pass by.

    Before we´ll take our first walk in the narrow streets of Quartieri Spagnoli, let´s have a look from above! This view was just too spectacular not to brag to show again and again!
