Naples: a city of tradition, beauty and, above all, temptation — especially when food is involved.
Between iconic alleyways you should see at least once in your life, such as the Spanish Quarters or bustling San Gregorio Armeno, the hidden treasures waiting to be discovered are endless, especially when it comes to food and wine. It’s practically impossible to leave Naples without trying at least one local speciality: from pizza, zeppole and panzerotti to ragù and sfogliatelle, your food tour can quickly turn into a whirlwind of endless tastings.
Delicious, of course… but there’s a catch. If your trip to Naples lasts more than a couple of days, there will almost certainly come a moment when you feel the need for something lighter, fresher and easier on the stomach. But in the middle of all those pastries and fried delights, where can you find something healthier that still satisfies your craving for flavour? If you’ve been wondering what to eat in Naples besides pizza, fried cuoppo and pastiera, here’s the answer. There’s no better moment to come to your rescue with our mini guide to 5 places to eat healthy in Naples.
Bowl Napoli – Conscious Food
Fast, practical and, above all, healthy. Bowl Napoli is a healthy takeaway spot specialising in meals served “in a bowl” — the famous bowls. These are complete dishes created with a balanced mix of carefully selected ingredients, drawing both from local tradition (such as salt cod) and from international food cultures (like açaí). Meat, fish, vegetarian, vegan, almost all gluten-free and many lactose-free, our bowls are designed to satisfy every craving and every kind of palate. In short, Bowl Napoli is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a place to eat healthy in Naples without ever giving up on flavour, and with all the speed and convenience of takeaway service. After all, time is money — especially in a lively city like Naples.

Hoop Bagel & Salad
A fully green concept is at the heart of Hoop Bagel & Salad, which uses high-quality ingredients and locally sourced produce. Its signature item is right there in the name: the bagel, a ring-shaped bread with the taste of a sandwich, available in both savoury and sweet versions, always perfectly crisp. An innovative alternative to the classic Neapolitan snack, with flavour combinations that are anything but predictable.

Don Alfredo 1946
Before rushing to the metro after a long walk among the nativity scenes of San Gregorio Armeno, it is impossible not to stop for a refreshing all-natural break at the king of fresh juices. Don Alfredo 1946 is now a true institution when it comes to juices and smoothies — all natural, of course. Banana, apple, raspberry… the freshness of fruit is always just a glass away.

Sbuccia e bevi Vegan Art
At Sbuccia e Bevi, vegan food finally gets its moment to shine. Every dish created by chef Domenico Grieco follows a fully vegan philosophy. That means babà, torrone, tarts and cakes of every kind are reimagined in a vegan version, so that absolutely everyone can enjoy some of Naples’ most iconic delicacies. The menu offers plenty of healthy and flavourful dishes, but it is the artistic desserts that have truly won over the vegan community. After all, a sweet finishing touch is always appreciated.
