I came to Neapolis for the zeppole. I stayed for everything else. That includes the company of chef/proprietor Pasquale Illiano, whose roots in Naples, Italy, show in all he does. They are also evident on all the shelves and display cases.

At this Italian food emporium, most of the packaged products are imported, organic or artisan. He relishes telling customers about his exclusive line of jams and tomatoes grown in the rich soil by artisan farmers around Mount Vesuvius.
