Zeppole

Recommended by Giulia Scarpaleggia and 7 other food critics.

"A miracle: zeppole! In this case, they were fried in extra virgin olive oil and not in lard! Nutritional benefits are not counted, but they sure didn't lose any of the taste, on the contrary!"

Recommendations

"They have the best babà with rum."

on Baba au rhum

"Another very good sfogliatella that I have tried, and even brought home, is that of the famous pasticceria Scaturchio in Piazza San Domenico Maggiore."

on Sfogliatella

"For me to have a lunch break at the university, meant stopping by Scaturchio and filling myself up with sfogliatelle. Ricce, frolle, with or without sugar, once in front of the counter of the pastry shop I did not care about the quantities and I must say that I miss those good old times."

on Sfogliatella

"Their zeppola is really fragrant and always fresh. Great non-heavy cream. You have to try it."

on Zeppole

"Excellent zeppole di San Giuseppe."

"A fundamental step for those visiting Naples is Scaturchio, a true institution. The sweet that represent Scaturchio is the Babà Vesuvius, shaped like a volcano."

on Baba au rhum

"Choreographed and extremely dangerous for the figure, the Vesuvius shaped babà is a temptation which is very hard to resists, it is better to start from the base, consisting of many small babàs and slowly climb towards the top for a crescendo of goodness."

on Baba au rhum

"One of the best babà in Naples. Soft, succulent and soaked just right for a unique experience in the world. Every day in the Scaturchio's showcase you can see the ultimate creation of pastry masters, babà Vesuvio: an explosion of beauty for the sight and we are sure, for the palate also."

on Baba au rhum

"But the king of their masterpieces is he, the mythical babò Vesuvio, that can be admired in the shop window. For those who have seen it, it is a caress for the palate and also for the eyes!"

on Baba au rhum

"Scaturchio is perhaps the most famous pasticceria in Naples. Among their specialities you can find those typical for the Italian pastry tradition: zeppole, babà and sfogliatelle."
