Experience food tours in
Naples with Withlocals

"Gennaro was so very accommodating to our group of senior ladies. He adapted the food tour to our needs and provided a wonderful experience for all of us. He is very knowledgable about Naples, and the local area and foods. We absolutely enjoyed our tour with Him."

"Once I officially booked this tour with Roberto he immediately reached out to say hi which was a very pleasant touch. I asked if he could help adjust the tour in a way so that my elderly parents would be able to participate and not get tired and he did just that. The food was great and Roberto was an excellent guide. I highly endorse Roberto!! It was a great tour!!"

"We had such a fun time exploring the traditional foods of Naples. Serena took us to all of her favorite places, and everything was delicious! Serena was so wonderful to work with! She was so sweet & personable, and she had so much knowledge to share about the city and culture. You could ask her anything! We loved our time on the tour and with her. Highly recommend! "

"We had an excellent tour with Roberto today. He was extremely knowledgeable and interesting with a sense of humour as well. We had excellent food in surprisingly large portions! It was a varied and diverse selection of food from seafood to pizza and pasta and ending with a local dessert, espresso and limoncello. We highly recommend using Roberto for a Napoli food tour. "

"We had such a wonderful time with a true Neapolitan. Donatella’s warm soul made us feel like old friends. Naples came alive through her story telling, her historical knowledge, and her love of local cuisine. Her intimate connections with the best food vendors made us feel like insiders. We will treasure the memories forever💚🤍❤️"

"Where do I start? Nino was an amazing tour guide. We picked him because in his bio he said he was a foodie and boy did he deliver. Naples was a busy city with tons of places to eat. Nino took us to all the small places we would have never stopped in. We ate the best “Real” Italian mozzarella of our lives. Not sure I will ever see mozzarella the same again after eating such an amazing cheese. There is so much more I could say but this review would be pages long. We’ve been to a lot of food tours over several different countries. Naples had the best food we’ve ever had hands down. Book Nino you will not be disappointed. "

"Gennaro arranged for Manuela to be our guide as he was unwell. Our tour was fantastic with lots of opportunities to taste delicious local specialties. Manuela was lovely and gave us lots of interesting historical information as well as taking us into a couple of beautiful churches along the way. Make sure you are hungry before the tour. You need a lots of space to sample everything. "

"We had a brilliant few hours with Giovanni eating and drinking like a local. It was a treat to be ordered for by somebody who knows the best cuisine in the area. We especially loved the gnocchi and deli plate. Highly recommend booking towards the start of your holiday so you have more chance to go back to places. Thank you! "

"Rita was great! She provided local Napoletana food tour with history of the area. Wonderful "

"If you're coming to Sorrento and would like a special food tour, I encourage to consider Giovanni at WithLocals.com. His laid back style fits perfect with the chill vibe of the coast. As a native son of the city, his knowledge of all things Sorrento is vast. Giovanni exposed us to much more than Sorrento’s food, he explained its history, took us to see a fourth-generation wood artisan, gave us tips about tours and showed us sights that are not usually seen when people visit the area. If this is your first trip to the city it is a great way to get acclimated and get the most out of your visit. The Food: I am a bit obsessed about Italian cuisine, and the tour exposed me to more things that I did not know. At our second stop we went to Caseficio Aprede Francesco. We sampled meats and cheeses from the region. I discovered that I love Salame Napoletano. It’s a pork sausage with a slightly smoky flavor, but with an underlying sweetness. We had that with two cheeses, a Provolone del Monaco and a Foridilatte. The latter is similar to a mozzarella cheese but comes exclusively from whole cow’s milk. Caseficio produces it in-house daily. The Provolone is produced locally and has also has a savory, buttery texture that pairs great with the salame. If you have tasted provolone from other areas, you will really like this version. Topping off this stop was a wonderful biscuit known as Tarallo. They are seasoned with lard, brandy, aniseed and other flavorings and then shaped into a circle. They are dry, but oh so savory and are great with wine. So perfect! Our next stop was a family-owned restaurant featuring gnocchi. Coincidentally, it is called Gnocchi, osteria di famiglia. We tasted the pride of Sorrento the Gnocchi alla Sorrentina. They first sautéed their gnocchi in tomato sauce, Parmesan, and fresh basil, before baking it in the oven more Parmesan and mozzarella which forms a crispy crust. Yes, there was more wine. We had three other stops: one to try a pasty called Baba, which was a rum-soaked cake shaped like a cork. I am not a sweet person, but my wife loved it and she is a pastry aficionado. Another was at a coffee shop called Gentile Café. Their Neapolitan espresso coffee was really strong with a deep, dark roast. They served their coffee with this Lemon Cake with sweet lemon drizzle that was light despite a copious amount of sugar. Again, my wife approved wholeheartedly. I will finish this review properly, at the Limoncello shop. This liquor is ubiquitous in the region and in downtown Sorrento it is everywhere. We sampled five different kinds of Limoncello, and ate Limoncello cookies, candies, and other products. I think I got drunk in four minutes (not really). We went over our tour time by over 30 minutes, yes Giovanni checked with us if that was ok. We were having fun listening to his families stories and experiences in his hometown. He still spends the tourist season in Sorrento and then goes back to Naples where his family lives now. He started his own tour company there, so apparently we need to go eat pizza for a day with him. Oh no, what will we do?!? Sign up for his tours – you will be really happy to meet someone with a passion for the tastes of southern Italy along Amalfi Coast and beyond."
