Tarallificio Leopoldo - Napoli

Although Zeppole di San Giuseppe is considered something of a signature at Tarallificio Leopoldo, its lack on Saturday morning did not make the Bakery any less memorable, everything from Tartlets with Fraises Des Bois to Chocolate Cake showing well while warm Sfogliatella were amongst the best in Napoli. Established in 1940, and open daily at 09h00, it is entering the shop on Via Foria that guests will find friendly customer service, English-fluency limited but adequate to explain several items which were still coming fresh from the oven at 09h30. Not offering seating, though those who wish to dine on-site will find a standing area up front, it was after teeth had shattered through layers of Sfogliatella Riccia that Frolla was tasted, a slightly longer bake than other spots adding an extra dimension in terms of texture. Happy to see several smaller treats, though whole Cakes are also available, it was finding both Baba plump and saturated with boozy Syrup that no clear winner could be decided, the Strawberry Tart equally praiseworthy while those seeking something richer will find the Sacher Rocher Cake and Lobster Tail with Chocolate Cream compelling.

There are cakes and then there are Italian cakes, my wife said I couldn't have cakes for lunch unfortunately nowhere else was open so cake it was. The local delicacy Sfogliatelle kept calling me back to the store and I believe I ended up there 5 out of the 7 days we were in Naples. Now I must start my exercise regime!! The staff were so friendly and so patient with my blend of Italian/English/Spanish if you do nothing else in Naples, go here, buy cakes, cross the road and go to the Botanical Gardens and sit and chill closest thing to food heaven I have found yet!!!

We have tasted a few kind of the cookies, but the truffle style chocolate with nuts was excellent. Worth to try if you love things like this.

OTTIMO LOCALE, BELLO VEDERE LA PREPARAZIONE DEI DOLCI E POI MANGIARLI, BABA' STUPENDO DELIZIA AL LIMONCELLO OTTIMA CONSIGLIATO

Il negozio di leopoldo di via foria è stato il primo ed è sempre lì che vado a comprare i taralli da mangiare mentre passeggiando per napoli o per portare a casa. Devo dire che li trovo sempre grandi e mi piacciono davvero. Ho anche assaggiato un dessert e ero emozionato.
