Sfogliatella Riccia · Naples
Sfogliatella riccia is a shell-shaped pastry of thin lard-brushed dough coiled around semolina, ricotta, candied citrus and cinnamon, baked until shattering-crisp on the outside and custardy within.
Sfogliatella was created by the nuns of the Santa Rosa convent in Conca dei Marini on the Amalfi Coast around 1700; the recipe reached Naples in the 1800s when pastry cook Pasquale Pintauro adapted it for his Via Toledo shop, and the Neapolitan version became the city's definitive pastry. Today the canonical addresses for the riccia are Pasticceria Attanasio near the central station and Scaturchio in Piazza San Domenico Maggiore.
