Cafés, snacks and ice cream
1 Attanasio Vico Ferrovia 2/4, off Via Milan. Bakery that specializes in delectable sfogliatelle (ricotta-stuffed pastries).
2 Chalet Ciro Via Caracciolo 1–2 This Mergellina institution is known for its babá and other pastries as well as delicious ice cream. Its marathon opening hours make it a dependable early morning or after dinner pit stop for sweets. Opening time: 6.30am–2am
3 Café Letterario Galleria Principe di Napoli 6–7 An elegant café inside the galleria, within striking distance of the Museo Nazionale. Also sells books and posters, and has internet access.
4 Gambrinus Via Chiaia 1–2 The oldest and best-known of Neapolitan cafés, founded in 1861. Not cheap, but its aura of chandeliered gentility – and outside seating on Piazza Trieste e Trento – makes it worth at least one visit.
5 Gay Odin Via Benedetto Croce 61 One of several locations around town, the Spaccanapoli branch of this long established chocolatier also sells decadent ice cream.

Remy Gelo Via F. Galiani 29/A Off Via Caracciolo, near the hydrofoil terminal in Mergellina, this place does superb ice creams and granite.
