    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.

    I'm usually cautious about extremely positive reviews, but I think in this case it is more than…read morewarranted. Many other reviewers have mentioned that this is the best meal that they've had in the entire country and unfortunately, without sounding like a false advertisement, I absolutely must agree. This was the best meal I have had in the entire country and I have traveled Italy extensively. They only have a couple of tables, the brothers, along with mama and Bridget, deliver an incredible meal, incredible experience, and the way the patrons feel after the experience cannot be matched. What the hell if we ordered Caesar salad, then meatballs, then gnocchi, then seafood with linguine, then the local catch of the day which today was amberjack, then ribeye, then dessert. I'm not alone in my prayer of this restaurant, my wife and my three children are unanimous that this was the absolute best meal that they have had in Italy. I strongly recommend this restaurant, but I would mention that you need to get there early because they do not take reservations. Please feel free to joke with Bridget about her Texan roots and her hallmark story which caused her to settle in Positano!

    Posides was one of the most memorable meals of our trip. We had a cozy table for two on the terrace…read moreoverlooking the most stunning Positano views, the kind that make you pause and soak in every moment. The food was outstanding. The Caprese salad was fresh and bursting with flavor, and the prosciutto salad was beautifully balanced with just the right mix of savory and sweet. Every ingredient tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The drinks were equally impressive. The house Posides Spritz was refreshing and perfectly balanced made with a cherry liquor, and the limoncello spritz was smooth, bright, and easily one of the best we've had in Italy. We finished with an affogato that was the perfect finale, rich espresso poured over creamy gelato for a sweet, satisfying finish along with the seasonal cake. Service was warm, friendly, and attentive throughout the evening, making the experience feel personal and relaxed. The restaurant is a bit of a walk from the city center with a few stairs to climb, but it's absolutely worth it. The stroll back down afterward is the perfect way to walk off the meal. Between the amazing food, stunning terrace views, and kind service, Posides is a true Positano gem.

    It's hard to miss when you're walking around. I have no idea how long they've been around, but they…read morelook like one of those "I've been around for 200 years but recently got a facelift" type of vibe. SFLOGLIATELLA is one of the signature items. It's crispy, thin, and has a crunchy texture. I sampled many of these throughout Naples, and liked the one from this place the most. Now that I think about it, it looks like a gigantic Turtle chip. Pro tip: go in the morning versus night time--it tasted way better fresh. Also, I think they can heat it up for you so that it's slightly warm. I got asked one time and not the second, so when they speak Italian and you have no idea what they're saying, just give them a nod. They might be asking if you want it heated up.

    Dessert before dinner, always a winner…read more Ok that's not really a saying, though on the evening I dropped by La Sfogliatella Mary, it worked out! With Naples being the birthplace of sfolgiatelle, this shop (or stand really) popped up on several travel websites as one of the better places to try this local pastry. Located at the western entrance to the Galleria Umberto I arcade, it's a popular stop for both locals and tourists. While there wasn't a line, a steady flow of people came by to pick up treats. On a Saturday evening the crowds were out in full force, though since they close at 8:30pm, around 8pm they were starting to prep for closing, taking out some of the remaining pastries from the display. Fortunately I arrived when they were still taking customers, and the cordial staff was quick to grab a sfogliatelle riccia €2.50, ask if I was eating it here or taking it to go, heating it up slightly then passing it in a wax paper wrapper sprinkled with powdered sugar. While it looks similar to a lobster tail pastry, the texture is different and they originate from different parts of Italy. This spot offers both types of sfolgiatelle--the Riccia version: deep-fried, layered, with a crunchy outer shell shaped like a conical shell, and the Frolla version: similar filling with a tender short crust pastry shell in a rounded dome shape. Both are served warm with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. They also serve a variety of other traditional baked goods like pastiera, baba rum, zeppola forno, frolla sorrentina. Biting into the sfolgiatelle, the crunch factor was immediate, nothing subtle about that first bite of texture! The fragrance of orange permeates thru the ricotta filling, I'm a fan citrus infused desserts and really enjoyed the tidbits of candied orange peel and brightness coming thru. There was a generous amount of filling inside, so generous I wish there was more shell to balance it out! It was also on the richer side, especially with the pastry being fried, and the shell felt a tad more oily than I prefer. In general, from eating at other pasticerrias several days in the region, seems the typical sweetness level is greater than I'm accustomed to. That being said, I still ate almost all of it, and was glad for the opportunity to drop by and try this!
