The Neapolitan writer Amedeo Colella ha presentato «Naples: An Eater’s Guide to the City», la first gastronomic guide of Naples written in English e divided into neighborhoods. Together with him, in the Galleria Principe di Napoli, at the «Lazzarelle» Bistrot space, the Consul General of the United States of America in Naples, Tracy Roberts-Pounds, and the journalist Antonio Salamandra.
The publication of Culinary Backstreetsthe award-winning company specializing in travel and culinary publications, with the contribution of Giuseppe D’Angelo and Luciana Squadrilli, promises to become one indispensable tool for food lovers, travelers and locals who want to discover the city’s culinary secrets. The definition of Naples as a “culinary paradise” barely describes the city’s rich and complex mosaic of history, tradition and gastronomic innovation. Exploring it is an adventure that often requires a difficult orientation. Enter “Naples: An Eater’s Guide to the City,” a comprehensive and in-depth guide for curious eaters, developed by Amedeo Colella—an expert on Neapolitan traditions and history—and the editorial team at Culinary Backstreets.
Divided by neighborhood, the book guides the reader through the gastronomic points that make the city what it is (taverns, markets, bakeries and more) and introduces them to the people and characters that make Naples alive and vibrant. You go from the suggestive streets of Historic Center and its treasures – a restaurant that only sells dishes with ragù, a fourth generation shop that experiments with cod sashimi – ai Spanish Quarters shabby-chic, where an old-school delicatessen prepares the most refined aperitif in the city. The exploration takes the reader to the less frequented neighborhoods of the city, such as Pendinothe cradle of fried pizza which inspired a film by Sophia Lorenand up to the places of the wonderful Campania region, where reaching the bucolic plain of Paestumthere is the legendary strip of buffalo mozzarella dairies which we call the «Mozzarella Road».
No book about Naples would be complete without mentioning its iconic pizzerias, like Gino Sorbillo, Brandi and Carmnella, or the temples of fried food like Masardona and the Vomero fry shop. To further explore this, the book presents a «Specials» sectionwhich delves into some of the city’s most fascinating secrets – from aperitif culture to its edible cornerstones, like tomatoes and cheese.
Richly illustrated, the book by 160 pages «Naples: An Eater’s Guide to the City» will be available for purchase in most bookstores in Naples and also online, the price of the book is 15,00€.
