Pintauro
The Via Toledo birthplace of the Neapolitan sfogliatella
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Founded in 1785 and a fixture of Via Toledo, Pintauro is where Pasquale Pintauro adapted a monastery recipe into the sfogliatella riccia and frolla the city now lives by. Reopened in 2026 after a careful restoration, it again sends warm, shatteringly crisp pastries across the counter. A pilgrimage stop for anyone serious about Naples' signature sweet.
Editor's Tip
Buy a riccia hot and eat it on the spot; this is the original, not an imitation.
