Casa Scaturchio In Napoli

Storica pasticceria nel centro di Napoli, sfogliatelle superlative, sicuramente le migliori che abbia mangiato. Prezzo nella media e personale cortese.

The desserts speak for themselves, anyone passing through Naples must pass by!

Spectacular simple Baba. Coffee too

Wide variety of excellent quality Neapolitan desserts accompanied by exquisite coffee and the kindness of the staff.

Best shortcrust pastry in Naples.

In a previous post, I mentioned that I let my son have gelato 🍨 without me in Napoli 🇮🇹. Of course there was a good reason for that. I was planning on having baba at Scaturchio! As you probably know, there is alcohol in baba, so my son couldn't have any. Baba is a Napoletan specialty. Well, it's also a French 🇫🇷 specialty and a Polish 🇵🇱 specialty. 😅 I read a lot about baba and its origin, and the most common theory is that it's a babka to which Stohrer (a pastry chef in Paris) added rhum to make it less dry for the French king. This was then brought to Napoli by the French and this is where it became popular. Of course I was not there at the time and everybody has a different version of this story. So don't get mad at me if yours differs, that's just the one that makes the most sense in MY opinion. 😇 I like baba a lot for 2 reasons: 1) I don't eat it often 2) it was one of my grand-mother's 🥰 favorites. That said, I think it's very hard to achieve a good baba. You need to find a good balance between sweet and alcohol in the syrup and you need to make sure the dough is moist enough so the syrup travels properly through it, but not too much so it doesn't fall apart. I think this one was close to perfect, if not perfect. 👍 The tart my wife had was not good, though, unfortunately. 👎 Plus it came broken and it was crazy expensive (€6 as opposed to €3.5 for the baba 😳). The total price was quite high, €15 for 2 coffees and 2 pastries, but we sat at a terrace in the middle of the tourist area so that was to be expected. 🤷 The service was kind of slow but correct. Now I need to go back there to try all the other types of baba cause that was just the classic one and they have lots of fancy ones! 😋 Quality & taste: 7/10 Quantities: 9/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Originality: 7/10 Ratio price / quality: 7/10 Service: 7/10 How I felt afterwards: 7/10

Cute cafe with delicious authentic desserts. Sitting outside in the large space, everything was perfect for me. It was tasty and the price was good. Would go there again. Sure it's a bit touristy and maybe a bit more expensive, but it's central with a great view. Overall, a great cafe.

If you are in Naples and looking for an authentic breakfast experience, Scaturchio is a must. Their Sfogliatella is simply perfect: crunchy on the outside, golden at the right point and with a ricotta filling scented with citrus fruits and cinnamon, which melts in the mouth, giving an explosion of flavours. Every bite is a journey into the Neapolitan tradition, a perfect balance between sweetness and lightness. Accompanied by a Neapolitan espresso coffee (I do not recommend the cappuccino), it becomes the ideal start to a day discovering the city. Highly recommended for those who want to savor the real Naples from the early morning! Rating: 10 and praise! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Zappetta I imagine from the previous day because it was a little ugly, I thought the ministerial was better. I don't know whether to recommend it or not. Go there and evaluate it for yourself. Prices a little higher than average.

Attesa ai tavoli un po' lunga, sfogliatelle buonissime così come il babà, caffe ottimo, conto nella media considerato il posto
