Neapolitan Culinary Evening: Private Food Tour in Naples - b1a38aff9d1c4db0cf852dadd3d3d4db

During the evening, when all the lights turn on, Naples is like a fantasy dream. You have all these little alleys with the sound of the people coming into the street seeking their enjoyable evening, the smell of the pizza in the air and the flavor of sweet pastry just made. So if you're a foodie and want to experience the city at dusk hours, join me on this private tour to enjoy the local food with the vibrant vibe of the city by night.

Every stop we'll make will be special not only for the delicious food we'll taste but also because, in Naples, everywhere you look, everywhere you stop, there's a story to tell. It can be a story about the past of the city, its architecture or piece of art. It can be a story about some character that usually hangs in that particular part of the city, and every local is affectionate to or a story about the folklore, the myths, the legends or the superstitions of people who are so bound to their traditions.

To kickstart your evening pop into a cafe for a strong shot of espresso, which will hopefully build an appetite for the food you’re about to eat. Sample food such as Cuoppo - a traditional street food, frittata di pasta, Italian sweets and even enjoy Italy's happy hour - the aperitivo. End your tour with a drink in your hand and enjoy the magnificent views while I'll tell you more about the places we walked by.

Before we say arrivederci, I'll give some tips on where to get the best pizza in town or where to hang out for the rest of the evening. Feel like adjusting the itinerary a bit or do you have special requests? No problem! I can 100% customize this experience for you.

Rita was amazing from the start. We were running a few minutes behind as we were coming in to Naples just prior to our tour. As soon as we met with her, she was super friendly and nice, gave us a lot of historical info and took us to get excellent food. She even made recommendations for other places to eat during the rest of our time in Naples and all were excellent. I would repeat this tour again and again on future trips to Naples. We love you Rita. Great Tour, Rita is 10/10

We booked a private culinary tour, Our guide Rita was very friendly and competent. But unfortunately the tour was not worth the money. We paid for two persons 150 EUR. The tour was announced to last 2 hours, but in fact it was 1.5 hrs. We tasted espresso, one small portion of candele alle genovese together, taralli and spritz for each of us. Two streetfood pizza and one bites of desserts baba for each of us. The price-value rating is very low.Culinary Food Tour through Naples

Wir trafen Rita am Dante Platz, von wo aus wir einen kulinarischen Rundgang durch die Altstadt antraten, mit vier kulinarischen Stopps, an denen wir mit kleinen neapolitanische Snacks und Getränken bewirtet wurden. Mit netten Gesprächen lernten wir die aktuelle Stadt Situation ganz nebenbei kennen. Rundgang durch die alte Stadt

Rita was super knowledgable about Naples, showing us all the hidden spots to grab a bite and even bars to visit later in the evening. She taught us lots of history in an engaging way through folk tales and stories. Overall we had a great time hanging out with her for the evening. It was a highlight of our trip and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Naples :)Great experience

We have taken a tour with With Locals before so I knew this would be perfect introduction to Naples. And it was just that. Rita was such a wonderful person and guide. Her knowledge and passion for all things Neopolitan was palpable- we even had a long discussion about Saint Maradona ! I can’t fault anything about the time we spent with Rita. We learned so much about areas that I have been to before but not not properly seen, if that makes sense. We tasted some great food and tried things we may not have tried had we not been introduced to them by Rita. On our next visit to Naples I will be looking up other tours that Rita leads. Thank you so much.The perfect start to our trip

Our food tour with Rita was amazing. She was so friendly and engaging it was such a joy to spend the time with her. We tasted so many traditional foods from a variety of local shops, got history and information about the city along the way. Not only was the food tour fantastic, she also had so much other information to offer us being first time Naples visitors. She aptly named herself the Google of Naples! We would 100% recommend, and the next time we come back to Naples we're excited to book another tour with her.Wonderful experience, wonderful person!

We loved our food tour with Rita! Between stops for espresso, street food and pastries, Rita introduced us to monuments, shops and neighborhoods of Naples. Rita did a great job of relating the history and culture of Naples to the delicious treats we ate. A great introduction to Naples or just a way to get to know it better with a local.

Rita was a prime example why this app works. She showed us around Naples explained history and customs. Which made us interested in Naples even more and regret the limited days. She went beyond and helped us plan the other days as well to what was worth visiting in Naples. 10/10 will recommend Rita to all my friends going to Naples. Amazing Naples experience

This was the absolute best way we could start our stay in Naples. We could relax with Rita as she showed us round the old town and just enjoy the atmosphere. If we'd tried to explore on our own we would have been much more anxious about where we were going and would have had no idea about good places to eat. Rita was an amazing guide, friendly and funny, and I really loved her stories about all the superstitions of the city. The food was fantastic and it was a great mix of eating and culture. Definitely recommend doing this experience at the start of your trip - it really changed our first impressions of the city.Best way to start your Naples holiday

So we booked a food tour of Naples. It started at 17.00 in the city. Rita was promt and from the off very nice. We walked around asking many questions and she was able to answer all. The food we got at the stops was very nice and she had a good rapport with the owners. Our tour had many different stops and a great beer stop. We finished on the beer stop and Rita kindly walked us to a taxi. A very nice young lady and very knowledgeable, with a sense of humour. Definitely worth the money.👏👏A very knowledgeable and friendly lady

Highly, highly recommend this tour! Rita showed us a side of Naples that made us really appreciate the food, art, culture, and people of the city. She was also able to customize the tour in advance for a few vegetarians traveling with our group. We stopped for an espresso, taralli, frittura, pizza, and a cocktail. Definitely come hungry!

This was one of favourite activities during our recent trip to Italy. Rita took us on a food tour in Naples during the early evening. We had an amazing time talking with her, seeing the sights and learning about Naples and the food culture there. We had coffee, couppo, pizza and a beer or two. All at different stops. Rita is a very engaging guide with an obvious pride in her home city. We really loved Naples and the tour was a big part of that. Evening food tour with Rita

I took my hungry teenage son on this trip. Rita called in advance and was on time. Her choices were spectacular and always the best of that type of food. After: fried pasta (he rated it excellent btw), local pizza, fried sardines/octopus/ calamari/algae/shrimp, a savory cookie, ice cream, coffee, and a limoncello shot he was full. And it was all local and terrific. Rita knew her local history and was a very personable guide completely fluent in English. I would definitely use her again! This was a terrific tour and a great twist on the ordinary food tour.Terrific Food Choices

We had a private evening street food tour of Naples - it was great. Loads of food and so nice to see it with a local. Rita was also very generous with her info, sharing the best pizza, ice cream and restaurants in the area. We followed her food recommendations 3 times after the tour and each time the food was amazing. Felt like we were really experiencing the city as locals do. Fabulous tour and so much great info

We had the pleasure of exploring Naples with Rita recently. My husband, myself, and our three girls ages 5,7,10 all really loved this experience. Rita was kind and patient with the girls, and we got to try so many delicious snacks around Naples. We were so stuffed by the end we could barely walk back to the port! Great fun and delicious tour!

Four of us took Rita's walking food tour and loved every minute. Rita shared stories, history, and myths of Naples and we had some delicious and interesting snacks along the way! We walked at a reasonable pace, Rita explained what we were seeing, answered all of our questions, and took us to spots to learn about local food. All of us enjoyed meeting Rita, visiting with her, and walking in the old town of Naples! Next trip to Naples, we are asking for Rita!Rita Knows Naples

I am mobility challenged (currently using a cane), and Rita was happy to adjust the tour to take this into account. It was not a bother to her for us to sit and people-watch, and she was clearly proud of her city and its history. She was very friendly and I enjoyed finishing off the tour with an aperol spritz (me) and beer (her) as we shared our stories and watched the world go by. Rita is amazing!

The whole experience from making the original request to Rita on what we wanted to do, to her proposal for the trip was exceptional. Rita was accommodating while making suggestions. The meeting point was a city focal point, so was easy to find and Rita was there waiting for us, and the first "Ciao" we knew that we had found a gem. Rita is a very warm, friendly person, has a great sense of humour and her knowledge of her city, Napoli is immense. Rita does not just know the history and culture of the touristy attractions of the city, she knows the ins and outs, the details of things that you walk past and wonder and gives so much more on things about the local area and Italy as a whole. She is well read in her history, but also has a wealth of information gleaned from the older locals who she chats to. By the end of the walk, we had had an incredible 2 hours, seeing and tasting things we did not expect, in places we did not know about and met an incredible local in Rita. If you want a Napoli experience, Rita is my recommendation. Grazie mille Rita, noi torneremo :-) :-)An experience of Napoli, not just a tour.

More about me

Born and raised in Naples, I've always been in love with the city and its folklore. Especially, I love how inclusive the city is with everyone which led me to grow interest in talking to people from different parts of the world and studying foreign cultures and languages.

I'm always looking for new people to meet, learning from them and give something back from my culture and my city.

I also profoundly love Art and History, which is something I can experience in every alley, corner or in everything I eat everyday. That's what I hope to give to other people, to discover something new in every step, in every bite, sound or food's scent.
