    • Napolitano Pastries: Baked, Fried, Filled With Ricotta

      Napolitano Pastries: Baked, Fried, Filled With Ricotta
      Oct 24 2025
      How could we talk about Naples and not about the pastries? After all, this is why you listen to Only A Bag! After a few thousand years of outside rule, one of the few good things (which is a weird way of saying, "Thanks for leaving behind some of your food when you ruled over us with an iron fist.") that came from it is the introduction of pastries. Graffa from the Austrian krapfen, baba from the French (and earlier Polish) baba, and sfogliatella from the nuns of Conci die Marini and then through a pastry chef who purchased the recipe and the rights to sell it (which is far more wholesome!). And, of course, like any other sweet thing over the course of history, someone looked at it and asked the age-old question, "Yes, but can it also be fried?". With that, we introduce you to the wonderful world of Neapolitan pastries! If you're planning your trip to Naples and would like to help out Only A Bag, you can do so by booking through one of the links below!

    • Naples: Dinnertime, Street Food, and Pizza

      Naples: Dinnertime, Street Food, and Pizza
      Oct 22 2025
      (I apologize for the late upload! I (Nathaniel) got back into town late and got my days mixed up!)Continuing the Naples theme, we delve into dinner time, street food (like the famous pizza portafoglio, or pizza folded into a triangle) and the most famous dish to ever come out of such a storied city: pizza not folded into a triangle. We mentioned a list of the best pizzerias in Italy which can be found here: https://www.50toppizza.it/50-top-pizza-italia-2025/ If you're looking to plan your stay in Naples, consider some of the hotels below!

    • Naples: Where to Stay | Part 2: The Neighborhood Breakdown

      Naples: Where to Stay | Part 2: The Neighborhood Breakdown
      Oct 17 2025

      Welcome back to Staying in Naples as we delve into each of the neighborhoods, weighing pros and cons, and offering our insight into which part of the city might be best for you! We do want to mention that this is solely our opinion, of course. There's no "one best location for everyone" just as there's not hotel like that. However, we do try to give you as much actionable information as possible, whether you're a solo traveler, traveling with kids, or traveling with a partner.

      In this episode, we mention that we'll provide links to some hotels that we like, or hotels we've heard good things about but haven't gotten around to staying at yet. Each of the links are affiliate links, and if you book your stay through the link, we earn a small percentage of the booking platform's fees.
