For those who love seafood, we have the Cuoppo di Mare, but there is also the Cuoppo di Terra with Crocchè (fried mashed potatoes), Scagliuozzi (fried triangles of cornmeal), Frittatine (fried pasta) and many other delights to discover with your team.
Neapolitan Ragù: Regardless of the season, Sunday in Naples means one thing: ragù! It’s a sauce made with two or three types of meat and needs to cook for hours. That’s why this dish is so tasty and unique. Usually, it’s served with rigatoni pasta. The combination of pasta and sauce results in an enticing dish that pleases everyone! Coffee: Don’t forget the coffee! Neapolitan coffee is a ceremony and a unique moment that you must experience during your offsite in Naples! Enjoy coffee in a special cup, not like the one we’re used to at home or in the office! Here it’s a cup specially designed for drinking the famous Italian espresso! Limoncello: One of the most popular ways to end a good Neapolitan meal is with Limoncello. Although there is some disagreement about its origin, the three places, Sorrento, Amalfi, and Capri, agree that this drink is perfect for any occasion!
Sfogliatella: Taking the shape of a seashell, Sfogliatella is prepared in two different ways. The riccia and the frolla are like two sisters who share the same heart: ricotta flavored with vanilla or cinnamon and candied fruits. But they differ in appearance: the riccia is made of “puff” pastry while the frolla is made of shortcrust pastry. Pastiera Napoletana: Nicknamed the Easter dessert, the “pastiera” is a typical pastry found all year round. This pie made of shortcrust pastry is filled with ricotta, cooked wheat, candied fruits, sugar, and eggs. It also includes flavors of orange blossom or cinnamon. A true taste of celebration in your mouth to try during your corporate trip to Naples! Babà: This cake is one of the symbols of Naples, Italy.
