Restaurants

Naples is the home of pizza and spaghetti, and it's great fun to sample the authentic versions. However, if you like subtle cooking and have an aversion to olive oil or garlic, you won't fare as well.

For dessert, you might want to gather at Scaturchio, Piazza San Domenico Maggiore 19 (tel. 081-551-6944), which serves the best coffee in town along with amazing gelato. Other desserts include a rum-drenched babà, a warm ricotta-filled sfogliatella, and a layered cassate.
