Casa Infante Via Toledo 258 01/16/2020
Michael U.

With several locations across Napoli, the most well-known on Via Toledo, Casa Infante is celebrated for thick Gelato made from seasonal ingredients, and thanks to high-fat Cream plus organic Eggs the texture may just be the city's smoothest. A part of Naples Food scene since the 1940s, and now in its third generation, Casa Infante began as purveyors of Almond & Pepper Tarallo, but having since grown wise to global trends the family now plies its trade in Pastry and Ice Cream. Recognizable by branding, a push-cart selling Baba parked out front, it is immediately upon entry that guests' eyes widen at some three-dozen flavors, classics present alongside decidedly "American" flavors like Oreo and more unique ideas such as Vesuvius Apricot Cake. Served in a variety of Cones, or even Brioche, it seems prudent for first-timers to invest in tradition, and although the "Pastiera" flavor was expectedly sweet it still maintained balance thanks to its richness while Pistachio and Nougat offered some textural heterogeneity and more subtlety.

Half yoghurt & Half Cherries! Both outstanding delicious
Julee W.

I cannot stop thinking about the gelato I had here! Was spectacular! I had the yogurt & dark cherry (had vanilla base with fresh cherries) the yogurt was perfectly tart, I like it very tart! And the cherries stole the show but together these flavors are harmonious.

It really is all that, and more! No trip to Naples would be complete without a scoop (or more!) of gelato. This place is worth making a visit to. A small scoop, which is a very generous serving, runs about €2.50. There are about 15-20 flavors to choose from. I had the Nutella and chocolate, which was so very satisfying! Dense and creamy, it was the perfect treat on a hot day. Can't think of anything bad to say, but if my arm was twisted, and I had to pick I would say the gelato is a tad too sweet. It's worthy of another trip here tomorrow, so I can't wait to try another flavor!

Cassata Siciliana and Torta all' Albiocca

Rating: 95/100 pts The second best gelato I had in Italy, and the best I had in Naples. I was full from having consumed the most amount of pizza I'd ever had in my life, and, I promise, had no intention of getting dessert just yet. Still, as I passed by this shop, its bright, almost gleaming interior clearly standing out from the more drab-yet-homely interior of most other shops in Naples, something inexplicably drew me in. And after trying an (unprompted) sample, I made one start toward the exit before turning around and making the correct decision to get me a cup of their gelato. Their flavor display is absolutely beautiful, but the creamy bite of the gelato is just as strong as its bark. The fruits are real, the flavor combinations are creative, and the base is so creamy that it seems to magically evaporate on your tongue. I tried their Pistachio, Cassata Siciliana, and Apricot Cake ("Torta all' Albiocca") flavors. I recommend NOT missing the latter, which used fresh apricots from the nearby Vesuvius. Using fresh, seasonal fruits is one of the true pleasures of Italian dessert culture, and it really shows here, as the apricots were so flavorful that it instantly propelled this to be one of my favorite flavors of gelato I got, anywhere. Although I randomly found it while walking down Via Toledo, there are a couple locations around town (--though I didn't see it in any other cities). It's a chain, but who cares, go anyway.

A Gelati a day was the goal and boy did I save the best for last! I had a double scoop of the Capri and Arancia, and what a perfect creamy mix. The arancia reminded me of the creaminess of creamsicles my childhood was made of. The lemon in Capri as fresh as the lemons I pulled from trees on the island the day before.

Giovanni Scaturchio - Giant cream puff

Just happened to walk by here and then after looking at the place on my map I saw that I had it…read moresaved because it had a good Pastiera. Unfortunately they were all out on the Sunday evening when we went so ended up getting a different dessert. It was a of giant cream puff with some creamy filling inside. It was perfectly sweet and the puff was also fairly nice. A nice late night treat split between 4 of us.

Dropped by on a Sunday morning around 9:30am, since I was in the area and recalled this name coming…read moreup as one of the spots that served single slices of pastiera, which is baked ricotta cheesecake* with wheat berries, flavored with orange essence and bits of candied fruit (orange in Scaturchio's case). Traditionally this is eaten during Easter time, though this bakery carries it off season too. Though I carried it around for several hours in my bag, the texture was still pretty good at the end of the day, moist, strong citrus in the flavor department. Lightly sweet and rich from the ricotta. The wheatberries add a slight chewiness to the texture. They also carry a variety of other traditional desserts like rhum baba, sfogliatelle riccia and frolla, zeppola di San Giuseppe, coda d'angostura (lobster tail), cannolo Siciliano and others. The shop isn't large, pasty displays on the right, register on the left. Seating outside in the open plaza across the walkway. Service was just ok, I wouldn't say it was stellar. The ladies at the counter seemed in frowning moods, not exactly welcoming. When I didn't know to insert cash into the machine to pay, she just pointed at it until I got the idea. *I'm unsure why no websites refer to it as cheesecake and instead call it a pie or dessert filled with a ricotta cheese mixture. It looks and tastes essentially like a type of cheesecake to me...the overwhelming ingredient is cheese. Feels kinda misleading to not classify it as such bc I was under the impression that there would be more crust as a pie, of which it barely had any.

Located near Porta Capuana, one of the oldest entrances to the city of Naples, L'Antica Pasticceria…read moreCarraturo has been in operation since 1837, and although founder Pietro Carraturo has long since passed his recipes live on in the form of a diverse collection of Pastries currently overseen by descendent Ulderico. Easily accessible from Napoli Centrale, and best known as one of Naples' most traditional Pasticceria, Carraturo opens its doors beginning at 06h30 Tuesday through Sunday, a diverse collection including several items no longer sold elsewhere available though Sfogliatelle remain the most popular choice by far. Producing Naples "little leaves" by the hundreds daily, and reportedly the birthplace of Sfogliatella Frolla which places Ricotta Cream inside a Shortcrust originally intended for "common people" unable to afford the better-known Sfogliatella Riccia, it is from Carraturo's elder oven that each warm Pastry is served, a cost of €1.50 amongst the city's cheapest despite unparalleled taste and texture. Built on tradition, at least six-dozen additional Pastries made on-site daily, guests will also find a full bar and Espresso offered inside L'Antica Pasticceria Carraturo L-shaped interior, the Torrone delightful with prominent Almond notes while Mostacciolo Duro is something like the consistency of Honeycomb dipped in a rigid Dark Chocolate shell. Confusing with Sapienza, a seemingly inedible Biscuit that actually drew blood on second-attempt to chew, it was setting this aside that Carraturo's Baba proved unforgettable thanks to Limoncello Frosting, while both styles Sfogliatelle made fans immediately want to apply for Italian citizenship and move in next door.

This is a good pasticceria but I have to point out that things are hit-or-miss here. The graffa is…read morefantastic, so is cream-filled croissant, and even gelato. However, the pasta di mandorle and biscottone are both incredibly dry and stale. Overall don't get any pastry that doesn't rise.
