The Italian Travel Thread

Ahhhh...

The Wedding cake, I remember walking by that every day for a couple of weeks.

Also known as "The Typewriter"

Okay. Question. Heading to Napoli, and for the first time, I’m spending a significant time there. What are the restaurants I should make sure to visit?

Tailors, shirtmakers, trouser makers. That’s all sorted out.

Maybe fabric stores? Other menswear stuff?

I’ll visit talarico; I’ve been to e. Marinella. Is cilento 1780 more affordable in Napoli than Milano? In Milano, it was really expensive. I also have the name of a private necktie maker.

Caccioppoli is worth checking out. I didn't price much at Cilento, I think I bought a knit tie. I'd line up some time with EG Capelli.

Have you been to Capri, Ischia or Procida?

Ischia is worth a couple days, it is a bit large IMO to treat as a day trip option from Napoli.

I don’t know - it’ll be November. Kinda a dead time for the touristy spots.

Eg capelli is a possibility. I’d rather see a bespoke Tiemaker though. I’d have to lookup his name. Some old guy at the recommendation of my friend in Italy who makes shirts.

My understanding is that Napoli is more a bespoke tailoring destination than a rtw destination.

Paone is near Naples.

I just ate pizza and sfogliatelle.

Isn't Marinella in Napoli?
