The joys of food shopping nearby

If you are staying in Interno16HolidayHome there is a fresh food local shops nearby.  No prepackaged foods and antiseptic counters, but friendly vendors and colorful, delicious vegetables, fruit, cheeses, fishes and meats of every kind. We think of them as museums for food! For a wonderful cultural experience, shop at the single purpose shops where you are often dealing directly with the proprietor who is usually a neighborhood resident as well as an expert on his or her items.  If you are there when the store isn’t jammed, you have a chance for a personal interaction and some special advice on your purchases. Here are the types of small food stores that you will encounter.

  • Alimentari – Small grocery store with foods of all kinds
  • Macelleria – Fresh meat, salami and sausage
  • Rosticceria – Take out and eat-in roasted foods, usually meats and vegetables
  • Frutta e Verdura  – Fruits and vegetables
  • Panificio – Bread
  • Pasticceria – Pastries, cakes
  • Pescheria – Fish
  • Salumeria – Cold cuts, cheese, salami, some canned goods
  • Latteria – Dairy (milk, butter, cheese)
  • Enoteca – Wine

Italian supermarkets have their own charms.  It is always fun to just see what is on offer. For vacationers who want to have a nice but low effort meal at home, there are many fresh but semi-prepared items.  

A few steps away, the large Decò supermarket is located in Vico Cinquesanti 24 and is open every day: from Monday to Saturday from 8AM to 8:30PM, continuously, and on Sunday from 8AM to 1:30PM.

A little further away in Via Foria on the corner of Via Duomo there is the Carrefour Express supermarket and it is open every day from 7AM to 10PM.

Don’t forget to read our tips on the best pizzerias and trattorias in the historic center. One rule: these are all less than 10 minutes walk from our holiday home!

What We Can Do Right Now About the Coronavirus

A painful but necessary decision taken for the good of the community and to give a firm and clear answer in this moment of great confusion and concern. We have complied with the decrees of the Municipality of Naples, the Campania Region and the Italian Government by observing all regulations and indications scrupulously and with commitment.

We stop for a few days* for you, for us, for the good of all.

The only way to slow down the infection and avoid the worst is to reduce, if not avoid, social contacts. And we want to do our part! We have a duty to put the health of everyone, including our guests, before the logic of profit. We are all called to behaviors of responsibility and civic conscience. Only united will this battle be won and we hope that many others will join us.

We will soon reopen our holiday home even more enthusiastically to offer our guests the best possible stay experience in Naples.

*until April 13 the entire country is on lockdown.

Carnival Sweetness

In Naples there is a dessert for every holiday: is actually time to chiacchiere – a sweet crispy pastry sprinkled with powdered sugar and sanguinaccio – black chocolate pudding!

A period of gastronomic liberation before the arrival of Lent, which is all about abstinence, Carnival is an invitation to be a glutton. In Naples, the festivities traditionally begin on January 17, the feast day of Sant’Antonio Abate, and end on Shrove Tuesday, which falls on February 25 this year.

The rich pudding can is made with an extra-bittersweet chocolate cream flavored with vanilla and cinnamon; some pastry makers also add candied fruit. be eaten by the spoonful but more often we eat it spread on the typical Carnival biscuits: chiacchiere.

Chiacchiere means chatter in English, which is what your mouth will be doing as you bite down on these delicious strips of crispy dough that are generally fried and covered with icing sugar. 

All the Neapolitan pastry shops prepare sanguinaccio and chiacchiere during Carnival.

Don’t miss the opportunity to taste it!
