Pasticceria Di Costanzo

Set on the wide Piazza Cavour, one of the main squares in Naples, Pasticceria Di Costanzo has been one of the city’s best-known pastry shops since 1980, serving sweet creations with striking colours and textures. Every day, the workshop crafts chocolate bars, pralines and treats to take away, perfect for an indulgent pause at any time of day.

Everything at Pasticceria Di Costanzo is made by skilled hands, bringing out the best in high-quality ingredients through recipes that respect tradition while embracing the contemporary, with creations combining avant-garde pastry and Neapolitan spirit. In the workshop, the team bakes classic Italian and Neapolitan specialities such as babà, tiramisù and cassate, alongside Saint-Honoré, Tarte au chocolat and éclairs. The chocolate bars are made from single-origin chocolate, spices, natural flavourings and premium nuts, yielding distinctive pairings like 70% dark chocolate with rosemary. Di Costanzo’s pralines feature fine chocolate filled with ganache in a variety of flavours, including strawberry and balsamic vinegar, tobacco, and salted caramel.

A standout example of this blend between tradition and modern flair is the Cassata nera, a reinterpretation of the classic Sicilian dessert featuring a dark chocolate glaze finished with chocolate and gold leaf, almond sponge, crisp almond shortcrust pastry, sheep’s milk ricotta mousse, blood orange marmalade and dark chocolate flakes.

The meticulous attention to detail seen in the pastries extends to warm, attentive service that wins over every visitor. Pasticceria Di Costanzo is the ideal address for a sweet pause while exploring the beauty of Naples.
