Exile in France at that time French France was ruled by Maria antonetta the one who was Beed the queen and Louis 16 and as the queen of France and the queen of Naples were two sisters everything invented in Naples and having a certain success was imitated also here in and the bab arrived here and it’s a kind of Brios which must raise three times it’s very difficult to be made at home after baking they soak it in the room which is not only rum I say homeopathic quantity of rum together with water and sugar they soak it they squeeze it and the ba is ready back to the depths of the kitchen to see more of the Baba process oh and he’s the fourth generation of his family wow okay okay so Baba is something with so much cultural significance in uh in Naples and it’s a cake but it’s really bubbly and Airy and you smell the aroma of the rum and there’s different shapes and sizes and even like different sculptures of Baba and it has so much cultural meaning and significance and it’s really a huge part of the culture though it’s only fitting that that’s what we’re starting with the B Baba 500 Baba per day oh and here it is in the in the oven baking many different sizes shapes all of these are Baba [Music] see so this is more rum or syrup no no this is the rum this is the rum with syrup with the syrup and sugar okay okay they have some seeding here on the outside oh yes this is it’s such a cool place it’s a Heritage and old school Bakery very locally popular and again they’re famous for the Baba all different shapes and sizes with such a cool history we got the classic just a personal sized which kind of looks like a giant mushroom and you can smell that Aroma as soon as you order it it’s already been soaked in the sugar syrup water and then rung out but then once you order he just showers it gives it another drenching in that sugar syrup water with rum and the aroma smells so good all right bonao so you just kind of dig in wherever or do you maybe the proof is that it must cry cry so who it’s really fluffy and spongy all that syrup look at that texture in there by [Music] mhm all the flavor of the rum mhm that is so good it’s so fluffy and spongy it’s so fluffy and spongy but it’s also so delicate you don’t perceive the uh the big quantity of rum it’s like you can really taste the flavor of the rum but it’s not that strong of R but the the flavor is there the sweetness is there it’s so juicy and wet exact that’s what makes it so good so juicy and wet really nice not a huge cake lover but this is really good because it’s like a a beverage at the

oh more octopus broth feeding it with that broth [Music] okay wow all the seafood broth goes into the spaghetti one minute okay 1 minutes and all the broth and parsley goes in wow oh Twirls directly onto the plate oh oh man those spaghetti making skills that’s in that is unbelievable so he he waits for the seafood to cook perfectly then he takes it out then he takes the the spaghetti out he puts them into the pan drains the juice the tomato juice the garlic the infused flavor of that Seafood into the broth and pours them into the noodles Cooks the noodles the the spaghetti until they’re through and then he combines them on the plate oh man this is this is spaghetti Paradise Antonio amazing amazing thank you thank you so nice so friendly oh I can’t wait to try ciao let’s start here spaghetti with uh bongol uh these are shells actually okay and they must be eaten uh very quickly because otherwise they start being fresh um they start being sticky spaghetti is you know it’s an Institute is O spaghetti oh man the Tomato Sal I’m going to try to twirl some some of that spaghetti and get oh there got one of those clams yeah all right oh wow Bishi man the flavor of the clams the flavor of the octopus broth the the tomato sauce in there all coming together coating every spaghetti it’s so good the spaghetto is crunchy yes it’s not sof like Americans toook alente perfectly it’s notal American I’m joing of course but normally outside from Italy but this is the way I like to eat this is how I like to eat pasta how I like to eat spaghetti chewy you really feel the texture of it it doesn’t get mushy on you it perfectly absorbs all that sauce and all that flavor that is stunning and then you can just nipp on the little the little clams that like they’re tasty but I think it’s the essence of the flavor of all those clams that just embeds within the spaghetti that makes it so good this is a mix of seafood with the c bonga octopus and canoli this is a typical type of shells you find here in Naples and it’s a I think in English a razor can you see the small sh are not bong they are called lupini oh oh octopus there’s razor clams in here yeah and then the Tomatoes the olives in here and one of the things that he did which I loved so much is that he when he finished it then he sprinkled on he drizzled on chili oil oh this is another just just beautiful spaghetti okay try that spaghetti first before trying that octopus so that’s this this is a good moment oh wow the Tomato the chili oil The Parsley again the octopus broth that mix of seafood the just completely released into the the spaghetti okay and now we got to try that octopus let me just bite it octopus is so tender so meaty that’s one of the greatest ples of spaghetti I’ve ever had in my life razor [Music] clam oh it’s so sweet oh they have some more chili pepper on the table oh I love this place little chili oh there we go oh I mean all of this I mean they’re all spectacular we still have one more to try one more pasta to try but that spaghetti with the mix of seafood I think is the the winner for me with that chili oil m m wow you get an olive it and that gives you that extra Savory like pickled Briny taste in your mouth to go with that that seafood and all those flavors oh this is really really something spectacular okay let’s try the next pasta this is called lailana it

within Naples uh they finally opened the first pizzeria indoor Pizzeria so the pizzeria date back into Naples are originally from napl and the Margarita Pizza Buffalo mozarella and San Marano San Marano the San Marzano Tomatoes go on parano parano extra oh basil oh this one is with salami he is so fast at making pizzas the dough is really gently kneaded and then on goes your variety of toppings and I love that stretch move onto the paddle directly into the oven it takes no longer than about a minute and a half 90 seconds for the pizza to cook and he just like monitors it so closely till the dough bubbles up that crust bubbles up perfectly uh chars on the edges and on the bottom and then he just does that that twirling rotation move just to make sure it’s all even and that also ensures that the crust Dr out evenly on the bottom Roman Pizza doesn’t exist that is for catcha not because there is so no Roman Pizza neapolitan pizza neapolitan pizza napl pizza the pizza was born in Naples Naples here the pizza here the concept of Pizzeria so a place where you could gather with your friends SE and have a pizza is ancestor so the first generation is the first one not only of his family but in general who brought the pizza in us oh really really in 1933 LOM New York oh and that’s why it’s called Lombardi and then in New York Jano Lombardi ah and in New York there’s very famous Legendary Pizza lombardis originates from it’s from your family wow same family so same family basically a lot of the pizza in the United States I mean it comes from Neapolitan Naples has its
