This café dominates the scene on this beautiful and crowded piazza. It offers a good range of local desserts and savoury snacks, and excellent Neapolitan-style coffee.

Noted all over Naples for its wonderful traditional pastries, it’s a real treat to sample the wares while checking out this piazza. Don’t arrive too late or you may find they’ve sold out.

This café is reputed to have the best espresso in town, but if you don’t want it sweetened (alla napoletana ) then ask for a caffè amaro (bitter coffee). A hot-weather winner is the frappe di caffè (iced whipped coffee). You can also stock up on some wonderful coffee blends to take home.

Dating back to 1886, this place knows all about quality. Enjoy an espresso and a cornetto (croissant) at one of the outside tables – or make like a local and stand at the bar.

The perfect wine bar to sample an extensive array of Campanian wines, as well as some fine national selections.

This attractive little place features 30 different kinds of chocolate, granite (chunky sorbets) and many varieties of cappuccino . A great atmosphere.

The mainstay of Piazza Bellini and a good place to hang out and enjoy a drink. In warm weather it’s also a lively gay venue in the evenings.

Not just a great café with an appealing atmosphere, but a purveyor of delicious Arabic goodies and full meals.
