Every day, in the artisanal workshop located beneath the historic store, master pastry chefs bake both sweet and savoury Napolitan specialities using ingredients drawn from the region following historic recipes that have been preserved and handed down for more than two centuries.
Original Napolitan sfogliatella
since 1785
And Pasticceria Pintauro is its historic home.
Sfogliatella riccia
Warm, fragrant and always freshly baked. The sfogliatella ricci is prepared according to the original historic recipe: extremely thin crunchy leaves surround a filling of ricotta, semolina and candied fruit scented with citrus.
