Antica Forneria Molettieri In Napoli

This was a very special find the bread they are amazing. The ready made foods are also great and the workers are very friendly. It’s my favourite bakery.

An excellent bakery to eat many varieties of quality food. Will be back!

*Entering the Antica Forneria Molettieri in Naples, in Corso Vittorio Emanuele 242, is like taking a journey through history and authentic flavours. Rodolfo, Barbara and Marcello Molettieri, children of art, have inherited not only the passion but also the mastery for this craft, observing their father who, with dedication, worked the dough. Today, they continue this family tradition with the same commitment and love for bread, carrying forward the ancient art of bread-making. In their oven, you will find over 60 types of bread, each with a story to tell, the result of a careful selection of the best grains and the use of sustainable techniques. Among their most innovative creations is bread made with sea water, with which they have achieved an extraordinary level of lightness and flavor. This bread embodies the authentic taste of the Mediterranean, managing to combine tradition and innovation in a one-of-a-kind product. Rodolfo's passion, together with Barbara and Marcello, goes beyond simple daily work: it is a real mission of taste and quality, and anyone who enters their shop can perceive the love and care they put into every detail. The bread they bake is truly "as good as bread", an expression that perfectly describes the work of the Molettieri brothers. Each product is an experience that combines tradition, innovation and, above all, the heart of a family that has made bread an extraordinary food for generations.*

We literally walked into this bakery during a one day visit to Naples. The owner was fabulous giving us things to try and taking time to show us his favorites. The custard cherry filled pastry (that we didn’t get the name of) was far and away the best treat during out 2 week tour of Italy! We even went to the oldest bakery in Rome and this was the best. Thank you Molettieri!

Delicious products made on the day and very attentive workers. A thousand thanks

Historic oven on Corso Vittorio Emanuele, a short distance from the central funicular stop. Many niche products or not easily found elsewhere. Not cheap, but the quality is high and justifies the price. Both the baked products and the delicatessen department are excellent. They also sell excellent mozzarella (clearly not made by them, they have it delivered daily). The main flaw (besides the price) concerns the opening hours, which are in line with those of the other shops in the area. If it were open late and especially if it were open on Sundays it would probably sell more.

Excellent food and lots of kindness
