Last Night's Regional Dinner: Campania


Campanian cuisine centres around the region’s bustling capital, Naples, a fast paced city that has endured a string of foreign rulers and yet retained its characteristic simplicity and distinctive flavour.

Neopolitan specialities include pasta and, of course, pizza, as well as mozzarella made from buffalo milk and fresh seafood from the Gulf of Naples. Dishes feature a variety of fresh vegetables sourced from the fertile volcanic plains of Vesuvius.
