Rosso Sapore
Largo Argentina (behind the newspaper stand)
Rosso Pomodoro is adjacent to its mother restaurant and shares the same kitchen. Here you can pick up the delicious snacks which you see on the streets of Naples: pizzette rosse, suppli', calzoncini and sometimes panini

Ré Calamaro! (King Squid)
Piazza Delle Vaschette 14
(San Pietro area, off Borgo Vittorio)
In a city where take-out food is a relatively new concept and has generally been limited to pizza and suppli', and more recently to kebabs, this little business seems almost revolutionary. Here, on the way to the Vatican, you can pick up a paper cone filled with the freshest fried calamari rings (or just the tentacles if you prefer your food to be wispy), prawns, cod, potatoes, sometimes vegetable tempura and more. Prices very reasonable.

Mondo Arancina
Open 20 hours a day and not to be missed, Mondo Arancina is the closest you will get to fried-food heaven. It specializes in Sicilian arancini, (a close relative to the Roman suppli'), huge deep-fried cones of saffron rice filled with luscious, oozing centres, each one named for a Sicilan locality (Stromboli being my choice). If you were to spread one out on a plate with a fork, you would have a more than generous serve of risotto. Also try pannelle, sfincioni, pitoni (pythons?) and of course, pizza alla pala. There's nowhere to sit unfortunately, not even a panchina outside, but their stay-warm, keep-fragrant paper bags do exactly that so you can take your bulging parcels down to the nearby Tiber embankment where the city's turkey sized seagulls will entertain you.
