Pintauro

Only tried the sfogliatella. It was great with a very balanced mix of flavors. There was a long queue so I left and came back a bit later later and it was empty.

Exceptional pastry! Dropped by for the sfogliatella, was crispy on the outside, fluffy ricotta filling, and the perfect touch of lemon peel.

Good but not exceptional. My friends told me to try the caprese, which was good but like any brownie that you can find in America. Very nice staff!

Oh, the sfogliatella was SO SO good! Crispy and still warm and lightly flavored! So glad we skipped the other pastry shops nearby and stopped here. No seating though.

If you're looking for fresh tasty and authentic sfogliatella this is the place to go Great sfogliatella!

That is the best sfogliatella in Napoli. You must be try.

The sfogliatella is very good! It taste good and all layers seems to be connected together in a single line!

Ok, so this was the weirdest food experience in Napoli. read a lot of good things about the place, a "must see". Hahaha there were 2 guys who looked so depressed you thought you'd brighten their day by walking in and buying something. There were about 5 sfogliatelle inside. We asked what fillings they had, they said one (OK, no problem, I like it simple!). One of the guys said the price and took our money. The other one reheated our 3 sfogliatelle and handed them to us. Nor one word, not one smile, no other soul in the place, and their looks almost made me want to apologise for buying the pastries. Eerie. Pastries were nice though.

Sitting in a dark and humid apartamento round a little table eating sfogliatelle the size (and weight!) of bricks with two Sofia Lauren look-alikes espousing the virtues of our sfogliatelle while the radio murmers "honesty is such a lonely word" against the hum of scooters and the constant din of inconsequential arguments drifting from the street. A scene like this can only happen in Naples. The substantial yet delicate (it's the subtle hint of orange blossom that does me in!) sfogliatelle held in such high esteem? From the age old sfogliate Napoletane, Pintauro across from the elegant Galleria Umberto (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/80613-Galleria-Umberto-I-Neapel) . And what could make such a deliciously Neapolitan moment even more luscious? To get up from that little table amble down the apartamento's half-finished stairwell and trot along the cobbled streets with these belle napolitane , pass the shrines and the trash to another little table at a quaint and noisy pizzeria (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/576785-Manfredi-Naples?hide_related=true) where alici and pizza fritta and glorious moscardini affrogati await!

Pintauro has existed in this location since the 18whatevers and for good reason. This is the best place for traditional Neapolitan pastries such as sfogliatelle, caprese, mostaccioli, roccoco' (at Christmastime only) and others. I make a pilgrimage here everytime I'm in town.
