Worst hotel I've ever stayed at. First off the female "manager" ASSAULTED my mother YES ASSAULTED…read more her all because she thought she wasn't a guest at the hotel the lady shoved my mother. Surprisingly that wasn't even the worst part. We left our rental car with the parking service they provide and they crashed our car multiple times and they had the audacity to say it's not their responsibility. When we asked the manager to bring up the footage they admitted that the worker from the service they provided crashed the car but they on purpose kept going back and forth pretending like they didn't know what was going on to waste our time. They in Italian told that worker who admitted the fault to be quiet and brought in 3 other "managers" and some curly haired midget who tried acting all tough when in reality a gust of wind would've knocked the bitch over. They knew we had a flight back home we couldn't miss so they stalled and wasted time until it was time for us to leave. Worst hotel I wouldn't stay here again there if they paid me.

We stayed at Hotel Cesare Augusto while in Sorrento, Italy…read more I was skeptical at first to book here since it was outside the old town, but when we got there, I was completely surprised at how close the hotel was to the main town, approximately 5 minutes from the elevator or stairs that would take you to Sorrento beach and port. We booked a room with a sea view balcony. We found our room spacious and clean. The hotel serves a sumptuous buffet breakfast in the main dining room. We had a lovely stay here. The staff are helpful and friendly. The hotel is walking distance to many restaurants and close to the port if you are planning on island hopping. This hotel is highly recommended!

Dessert before dinner, always a winner…read more Ok that's not really a saying, though on the evening I dropped by La Sfogliatella Mary, it worked out! With Naples being the birthplace of sfolgiatelle, this shop (or stand really) popped up on several travel websites as one of the better places to try this local pastry. Located at the western entrance to the Galleria Umberto I arcade, it's a popular stop for both locals and tourists. While there wasn't a line, a steady flow of people came by to pick up treats. On a Saturday evening the crowds were out in full force, though since they close at 8:30pm, around 8pm they were starting to prep for closing, taking out some of the remaining pastries from the display. Fortunately I arrived when they were still taking customers, and the cordial staff was quick to grab a sfogliatelle riccia €2.50, ask if I was eating it here or taking it to go, heating it up slightly then passing it in a wax paper wrapper sprinkled with powdered sugar. While it looks similar to a lobster tail pastry, the texture is different and they originate from different parts of Italy. This spot offers both types of sfolgiatelle--the Riccia version: deep-fried, layered, with a crunchy outer shell shaped like a conical shell, and the Frolla version: similar filling with a tender short crust pastry shell in a rounded dome shape. Both are served warm with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. They also serve a variety of other traditional baked goods like pastiera, baba rum, zeppola forno, frolla sorrentina. Biting into the sfolgiatelle, the crunch factor was immediate, nothing subtle about that first bite of texture! The fragrance of orange permeates thru the ricotta filling, I'm a fan citrus infused desserts and really enjoyed the tidbits of candied orange peel and brightness coming thru. There was a generous amount of filling inside, so generous I wish there was more shell to balance it out! It was also on the richer side, especially with the pastry being fried, and the shell felt a tad more oily than I prefer. In general, from eating at other pasticerrias several days in the region, seems the typical sweetness level is greater than I'm accustomed to. That being said, I still ate almost all of it, and was glad for the opportunity to drop by and try this!

Super cute spot serving American-style breakfast, which is a rarity in Naples! I've been craving…read moreeggs for breakfast for days, and was finally able to satisfy my omelette craving here.

Since sfogiatelle is my absolute favorpastry, when I passed this pastry shop named La Sfogiatella,…read moreI had to stop in even though I had already eaten a sfogiatelle earlie that day! But hey, I'm in Italy and I can't get sfogiatelle in Portland, Oregon. Plus, the calories don't count when traveling! A sfogiatelle is made from laminated pastry cut into coin shapes, several coins layered on top of each other which creates a flaky shell. A mixture of ricotta slightly sweetened with powdered sugar and citron, typically orange, is paced on top and the coin is then folded over to resemble a clam shell. It's then baked and the shell is both buttery and super crispy while the ricotta is now slightly firm from baking. It's not too sweet which is exactly why I love them. Sfogiatelle originated by a nun in Naples and has become a symbol of Naples and they are found in abundance all over Southern Italy. Don't confuse a sfogiatelle with the American Lobster tail. While the outer shell is similar, the lobster tail has a larger shell and a dollop of Chou pastry is placed in the center before baking to puff up the core. Then after the shell is baked, pastry cream, not ricotta, is piped in. It's good, but it is not a sfogiatelle! They were created in the U.S. when Italian Americans could not acquire ricotta, so they improvised. Coming from an Italian family, my grandparents always brought a box of sf and cannoli for every holiday or special occasion. And of course we went to the bakery to get them even if it was not a holiday! So being in Southern Italy where my grandparents on both sides were born and lived, eating sfogiatelle and other foods from my childhood felt like they were still here with me as I visited the cities they were from. And the sfogiatelle from La Sfogiatella was superb in every way!
