Bakeries & Pastry in Naples

Sfogliatelle and rum baba run through this list of Naples pastry shops and bakeries. Mary’s Sfogliatella is a small counter at the entrance to Galleria Umberto I, where reviews talk about babà, pastiera and pastafrola; it closes on Tuesdays, as does Sindaco Naples Delicacies on Via Benedetto Croce, the Spaccanapoli stretch of the old town, whose reviews mention pistachio sfogliatelle and babà and graffe, the Neapolitan doughnuts. Pastries Leopoldo on Via Chiaia adds taralli and zeppole, and F.lli Tommasecchia Pasticceria on Via Basilio Puoti sells traditional pastries by the kilo, cash only, from 7 AM to 5 PM daily. Di Pinto’s Bakery on Via Arangio Ruiz is a bistro-bakery with breakfast pizza, bread and parmigiana. In Vomero, Bakami Bakery reopens in the evening, until 1 AM or 2:30 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, for cornetti and cinnamon rolls; at the other extreme, Pasticceria Cafora on Via Ferrante Imparato works mornings only, from 5 AM to noon.
