Naples - Being a pastry lover, I had heard about the ubiquitous Neapolatin pastry in Naples called Sfogliatelle.

And once I tried I bite, that's the only word you need to know when traveling in Naples. Well, pizza as well.

Sfogliatelle has a delicate, crunchy pastry shell shaped like a large clam. The filling is a sweetened ricotta cheese.
Layers of deliciousness!
As soon as I ate one for breakfast, I immediately was wondering how to create that type of layered pastry shell, which reminded me of thin apple slices created by a hand crank device.

Well, if you are traveling in Naples, all you need to know is the word: Sfogliatelle.

Here are several Neapolatin pastry shops recommended by food blogger Katie Parla.

We've had lovely weather here in Naples, Italy, for our 36-hour stay.

I think we've walked about 10 km every day since we've been in Italy! But we've seen a lot this way.

I wish we had more time to spend in this busy, character-filled city and eat more pizza and pasta. However, today we are renting a car and driving down the Amalfi coast. No time to rest!

Time to grab a Neapolitan pastry for the road and head out.
