All the places in Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy - Naples & the Amalfi Coast

"Once you taste it, you'll never leave it." Stanley and Professor Elisabetta Moro sample fried pizza with ricotta, provola (a smoked cheese), pork fat and basil, from Da Fernanda, a historic family-run shop that's been operating for a century.

The place where, according to legend, in 1889, the Italian Queen ordered a pizza that went on to bear her name: the Margherita.

"In this city of pizza makers, there is a man whose reputation towers over the town like Vesuvius." The first ever pizzaiolo to be recognized by the Michelin Guide, you can try Enzo Coccia's world-famous pizzas at Pizzaria la Notizia. In the episode, Enzo takes Stanley to the countryside to gather ingredients for pizza.

Enzo and Stanley visit this dairy farm to see how real mozzarella di bufala is made.

Stanley visits Zio Vincenzo, Enzo's special tomato supplier at his small farm, where he grows real San Marzano tomatoes. San Marzano tomatoes are special because of their extremely thin peel, a pleasant juice and an underlying acidity, which is unique in their combination with the mozzarella.

Back in Naples, a police captain teaches Stanley about the Neapolitan tradition of Caffè Sospeso: he buys two coffees and one extra, so when a person in need shows up, the coffee seller gives them a free drink that their fellow citizen has paid for earlier. Gran Caffe Gambrinus, the oldest and perhaps grandest cafe in Naples, is one of the cafes in the city that practices this tradition.

"This is Napoli, and people look out for each other in the most creative ways." Stanley visits Chikù, a restaurant and catering company of Neapolitan and Romani women, each with their own unique food traditions, who formed a small community to mix the flavors of their cuisines together.

Standing defiantly away from the seaside crowds, Stanley visits Il Focolare, a restaurant that draws crowds thanks to its coniglio all'ischitana, made with local wild rabbit.

The Amalfi Coast is world-famous for its lemons, and Stanley visits a pasticceria whose specialty is a celebration of the fruit: the legendary Lemon Delight, a cream-filled cake, soaked in lemon syrup, and covered in a delicate lemon and limoncello whipped cream coating.
