BREATHTAKING VIEWS & PIZZA Naples, Italy

Why go? Naples may be synonymous with pizza, but the rest of the city’s cuisine, built on traditions of freshness and seasonality, is equally appealing and amazingly a ordable. The city itself is noisy, vibrant and an assault on the senses, set against a breathtaking bay and views of Mount Vesuvius in the distance. What to eat At Cibi Cotti ( facebook.com/cibicotti nonnaanna) in the Mercatino Rionale Torretta, eat pumpkin lasagne followed by simmered meatballs for less than £9. The mercatino has produce, fish and deli stalls if you’re taking the self-catering route. Budget-conscious diners can feast on savoury potato casserole, ragu-drenched pasta, and marinated veg at Osteria Donna Teresa (Via Kerbaker 58), a tiny familyrun operation in Chiaia. Pizza is sold from stalls and folded for eating on the fly.
