Antico Forno delle Sfogliatelle Calde Fratelli Attanasio

Bakery

Located steps from Napoli Centrale railway station, Antico Forno delle Sfogliatelle Calde Fratelli Attanasio is a legendary Neapolitan institution renowned for serving Naples’ finest pastries since 1930. Famous for piping-hot, made-to-order treats, this bustling bakery specializes in two iconic Italian classics: the riccia—seashell-shaped pastry, shatteringly crisp, layered puff pastry—and the frolla, its buttery, tender shortcrust counterpart. Both are generously filled with citrus-scented ricotta and sweet semolina cream. Expect a lively line of locals and travelers alike, drawn by the irresistible aroma of caramelizing butter and orange blossom. Grab a ticket, take in the electric energy, and savor Napoli’s ultimate sweet tradition straight from the oven.
