Sfogliatelle

Even better than the cheese danish--and they are to die for, the best in the city--are the sfogliatelle. Sfogliatelle are flaky, shell-shaped semolina pastries filled with ricotta cheese. Citrus-flavored, not too sweet. La Fiorentina's have bits of candied angelica in them. The sfogliatelle are only available at La Fiorentina on weekends. A huge treat for me is a Sunday morning stroll for cappuccino and sfogliatelle. If you can't be in Napoli, Roma, or Palermo for breakfast, La Fiorentina is an acceptable substitute. And as long as you stay inside, you might think you're actually in one of those other places.
