Pasticceria Poppella

OMG!! I dont like sweets but i'm in love with this place. One of the best sweets i ever ate. Very helpfull staff, many kinds of various sweets. And fiocchi di neve - heaven in mouth - delizioso

So sad I will not be able to have Fiocchi di Neve ?. It’s some angels food. I hope to visit Napoli and Poppella soon again.

You definitely should visit this place to try fiocco di neve! This is one of the best desert I ever tasted. Also if you want to save some money it will be cheaper to buy here for take away as if you will take a seat in the cafe you will get 50% higher prices.

Best known for their signature Fiocco, Pasticceria Poppella was born in Naples around 1920, and still family owned in the Rione Sanità Neighborhood it seems as though Ciro Poppella and Salvatore Scognamillo’s brand has rarely slowed but only become more popular following renovations that make the store stand out from crowded surroundings. Held in high regard by Neapolitans, and equally famous with tourists, it is at Via Arena della Sanita' 24 that visitors will find bright lights from 06h00 to 22h00 daily, staff the perpetually smiling sort with English fluency that makes ordering easy. A full-service eatery with al fresco seating, it is across tiered-shelves that Poppella’s good are displayed, usual suspects such as Cannoli and Tiramisu offered alongside Loaves of Bread, Entremets and Viennoiserie. Not a place for the indecisive, though fair prices and smaller-sized versions of Pastries such as Lobster Tails full of Chocolate allow guests to order a variety, it was in exchange for €10.90 that seven items were plated and served alongside Espresso, both Baba gone in two-bites and the one soaked in boozy Syrup less sweet than many. Of course serving Sfogliatella, though not warm-to-order like Napoli’s best, it was once shattering layers were separated and citrusy Ricotta consumed that Fiocco di Neve took center-stage, the “Snowflake” introduced around 2001 surprisingly light despite Fillings of Pastry Cream and Cheese in a variety of flavors from which the original Vanilla reigned supreme.

Our bed and breakfast offered coupons for this place to get coffee and pastries in the morning. We went every day ? Coffee was great and sweets too - especially the croissants with filling.

The pastry were all too sweet and hard, and the cafe cost €1,5 for one! Not sure was a good deal.

Legendary and utterly delicious pastries in Rione Sanita. Highly recommended!!! Read more: bittermansguide.com

Our Airbnb owner recommended to visit this place and joked that Fiocchi possibly have something addictive inside. And it is true. I can’t stop thinking about these pastries ever since ? they are soooo good! It is something everyone should try when in Naples ?
