Casa Infante

Eerste van der Helststraat 78h, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Casa Infante is a Neapolitan pastry shop that's been doing its thing since 1940. Three generations of the Infante family have been passing down recipes and techniques, and honestly, the dedication shows. This isn't some generic bakery, it's a family legacy in edible form. The whole vibe is traditional Neapolitan, with a focus on quality ingredients and artisanal craftsmanship. You're looking at pastiera, tortano, babà, and their famous taralli. They've got everything from the classic 'nzogna e pepe to creative spins like friarielli and genovese. There's also a solid zero gluten line, so everyone can get in on it. They take their time with things too. Natural yeast, slow leavening, and ingredients like Vesuvius Pellecchiella apricots. It's the kind of place where the recipes are treated like actual treasures, because they kind of are. If you want to taste what real Neapolitan pastry is about, this is it. No shortcuts, just generations of doing it right.
