Carraturo In Napoli

This historic pastry shop is a wonderful world where anyone who loves sweets like me can't help but get lost. The charming shop feels luxurious, so well-decorated and cared for. The products are high-quality, and you can tell right away, but there's also so much to choose from. I've been to Naples often and have never missed the sfogliatella riccia, but the one I tasted at this pastry shop far surpasses them all. The gelato is also excellent. The staff were friendly, and the quality/price ratio was good. Not going there would be a sacrilege ;)

Very good sfogliatella, but terrible welcome. We entered this pastry shop near Porta Capuana early in the morning. There were almost no customers, but the staff didn't even notice us. And anyway, when we finally ordered, the staff was sullen and seemed annoyed by our presence. There was no trace of the cheerful, sociable Neapolitans.

I had a Sfogliatella (d'asporto). It cost 2€ which is a very normal price, the taste was great and it was still warm. The staff was also very friendly and accompdating. 10/10 would recommend!

We went to a sort of bakery/restaurant and had some really excellent spritzes. They offered us food at every turn, and it was excellent quality. The place is very beautiful, and the staff is very kind and attentive. A truly pleasant experience, highly recommended!

The Pastry Shop "par excellence - at least for me - in the city. We lived in Via Vecchia Poggioreale, then Via Aquileia, in a "service" house of the SME. Dad was available 24/7. Industrial area, mechanical workshops, the "musoni" trucks, the "scasso" with war surplus cars and the "melon auction" at Porta Capuana in front of the Fontana del Formiello" (because under the square there is a formal (sorting tank) of the ancient aqueduct. An enormous watermelon" - the American melons "supplanted the "local and spherical black ones" - cost 100 lire, and we dragged it home wrapped in those shopping bags that looked like fisherman's nets... Next to the ancient water cooler where I enjoyed the wonderful "acqua ferrata", insisted Carraturo. And, I think I remember correctly, in the shop there was the photo of the ancient founder... It was It's already a must to buy sweets there, on Sundays and other occasions. Sfogliatelle... the enormous baked zeppole of San Giuseppe... At Easter, the pastiera, a superb specialty of Neapolitan pastry, likely the great-grandson of ancestral preparations of a pastoral civilization - wheat, ricotta and milk, candied fruit and millefiori water - probably celebrating Spring and the awakening of the fields and flocks... A dessert that today is eaten all year round and everywhere in the world... At Christmas, the abundant oversized tray with every type of sweet... cassatine, Divin'amore, paste reale, m' buttone, susamielli e sapienze, rococò and mustaccioli (originating from ancient Roman sweets mixed with grape must, before being covered in chocolate). And the formidable simple raffioli with a "not glassy" but soft icing that allows you to savor the layer of jam underneath. Easy to reach from Vomero by Metro, stop Garibaldi...now that for me, the time to walk down there is over...

I placed an online order to have a dessert shipped, and I was very happy with the service. They were very kind and helpful, and the shipping was fast! I recommend it!

Very friendly, very good quality of the dough of the frola, tasteful baba. Simply well rounded old-school shop. One of my favorites from now on in Napoli.

Extraordinary pastries and ice cream. Prices so much better than in the city center!

Eccezionale!!! Una pasticceria assortita e di qualità eccellente. Ogni colazione un'esperienza di gusti spaziali, tra sfogliatelle di tutti i tipi e paste tipiche.

Abbiamo fatto colazione in 4 più una bambina, brioche buone, caffè ottimo. Abbiamo preso da portare via anche 5 pizzette e una parigina. Straconsigliato e ottimi prezzi.
