How gluten-free pastry works in Naples
Neapolitan pastry is made of wheat: sfogliatella, babà, pastiera, cornetto, graffa. On this page two places are dedicated gluten-free kitchens in our rating: the Leopoldo Senza Glutine pastry bar on Piazza Cavour and Casa Infante Zero Glutine in the Vomero. The others are bakeries and counters that also work with wheat and have a gluten-free line or a few gluten-free items.
In a mixed bakery the flour is everywhere, so two things count: where the gluten-free item is made, and how it is kept and served at the counter. The graffa and the classic cannolo shell are fried: ask whether the gluten-free ones go into separate oil.
At the counter, ask three things. Which sweets are gluten-free, and are they made here or in a dedicated lab? How do you keep them apart in the display and when you serve them? And for anything fried: is the oil only for gluten-free? Always say you have coeliac disease.

Leopoldo Cafebar Senza Glutine
★ Dedicated Pastry bar · gluten-free📍 Piazza Cavour 78/79, 80137 Napoli · Piazza Cavour, by the Archaeological Museum · Open in Google Maps ↗
Serves: The Neapolitan morning from the Leopoldo gluten-free line: sfogliatelle, babà, pastiere and other Neapolitan pastries, with coffee.
How they handle it: The Leopoldo pastry group lists this shop as “Leopoldo Senza Glutine Piazza Cavour 78/79 Napoli”. Its FAQ says “i prodotti gluten-free vengono preparati separatamente dalla pasticceria tradizionale napoletana per evitare la contaminazione incrociata” (the gluten-free products are made separately from the traditional pastry, to avoid cross-contamination), and the group names “ulteriori due laboratori di produzione, dedicati rispettivamente al senza glutine e senza lattosio ed alla produzione di taralli” (production labs, one for gluten-free and lactose-free, one for taralli).
Watch out: The group’s other shops in Naples sell its traditional pastry: for gluten-free, come to this one on Piazza Cavour.

Casa Infante Zero Glutine
★ Dedicated Pastry shop · Zero Glutine line📍 Largo Antignano 20, Napoli · Vomero, Largo Antignano · Open in Google Maps ↗
Serves: Neapolitan cakes from the brand’s gluten-free line, such as “Pastiera Senza Glutine” and “Crostata Caracciolo Senza Glutine”.
How they handle it: The Casa Infante brand sells this line on its own site under the heading “ZERO GLUTINE Delizie che possono gustare tutti” (treats everyone can enjoy). The brand says this for the line, not for this shop: its site doesn’t describe how the Largo Antignano shop handles gluten-free.
Watch out: Brand-level words only: ask whether everything on the counter is gluten-free, and say you have coeliac disease.
