Scaturchio
1905 pastry institution on Piazza San Domenico Maggiore
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
On one of the old city's most beautiful squares, Scaturchio has been a flagship of Neapolitan pastry since 1905, famed for the ministeriale, a chocolate-and-liqueur-cream medallion whose recipe stays a secret. Sfogliatelle, babà and rum-soaked classics fill the cases, best taken with a coffee at the outdoor tables under San Domenico Maggiore. A reliable benchmark in the heart of the centro storico.
Editor's Tip
Order the ministeriale here, where it was made famous, and sit out on the piazza.
