25/06/2025: Good evening, the sandwich is good. But the owner doesn't check his account. I would like to make him understand how you can eat a sandwich with 20 centimeters of greaseproof paper. Make him pay for the paper towel. And then a pinch of imagination, the salad is seasoned, it enriches the taste of the sandwich. IT IS NOT A REPROACH. IT IS A SHAME TO MAKE THE TASTE OF THE DISH LOSE.
12/06/2025: An Ode to Porchetta: The Sandwich of Champions Outside the Maradona!
If there is a place where football is religion and food is pure ecstasy, that is Naples. And if there is an experience that unites these two passions in an unforgettable union, it is biting into the sandwich with porchetta "specialty of the house" from that delicatessen or kiosk located a few steps from the Maradona Stadium. Not just a sandwich, but a work of gastronomic art, a hymn to tradition and authentic flavor that conquers you at the first bite.
As soon as you get closer, the air is filled with a scent that captures you: hints of slowly roasted pork, spicy notes and a light scent of freshly baked bread. The sight is a prelude to pleasure: a counter full of porchetta that is crunchy on the outside and very soft on the inside, expertly cut before your eyes, almost in a sacred ritual.
The secret of this sandwich, you understand immediately, is the porchetta itself. It is not just any porchetta, but what I would call the "porchetta of champions": succulent, tasty, with the rind that crunches under the teeth, releasing an explosion of flavor. Each slice, generous and fragrant, is a hymn to perfection.
And the bread? Ah, the bread! Not just a container, but the ideal partner for this symphony of flavors. A rustic bread, with a fragrant crust and a soft crumb that welcomes the porchetta in a perfect embrace. It doesn't get soaked, it doesn't crumble, but it lives up to its task of enhancing the protagonist without ever overwhelming it.
But it's not just the quality of the ingredients that makes this sandwich memorable. It's the atmosphere that surrounds it, the joy of enjoying it between one chat and another with the fans who swarm around the stadium, the vibrant energy of Naples that pours into every bite. It's the sandwich you eat before or after a match, the one that recharges you, that consoles you or that celebrates a victory.
In short, if you are in Naples, near Maradona, and you are looking for a culinary experience that will warm your heart and fill your stomach, you absolutely cannot miss this porchetta sandwich. It is not just a meal, it is a piece of Naples that you carry inside you, an indelible memory of true flavors and authentic passions.
