Italian food made in brothels!

You’ve probably ordered this pasta without knowing what its name actually translates to.

📍 Spanish Quarter, Naples, Italy

Legend says ladies of the night in Napoli needed something fast to cook between customers: tomatoes, olives, capers, garlic, chili, whatever was cheap and quick. The dish became known as spaghetti alla puttanesca, spaghetti in the style of a prostitute.

Here are 4 tips:

Try it at Osteria della Mattonella, a small traditional spot in the Spanish Quarter.

Go at off-peak hours, it’s tiny and fills up fast.

Pair it with a Neapolitan classic like fried pizza to round out the meal.

The Spanish Quarter is walkable from most central Naples hotels.
