Gran Caffe Gambrinus

When in Naples, don't miss the city's most prestigious caffe', the Gran Caffe Gambrinus. Located right at the corner of Piazza Plebiscito, the historic coffee house has been a haunt of intellectuals, politicians, and everyday folk since 1860.

The elegant Liberty Style building boasts marble, decorative ceilings, fine china and a bright interior. The caffe' is part coffee house, part pastry shop, part confectioner, and part cocktail bar - a refined spot to meet friends and chat that has been dubbed, "Naples' drawing room". There are also tables outside overlooking the bustling and beautiful piazza. Definitely try a Neapolitan coffee with the frothy sugar crema; in a city that takes their caffe' very seriously, this one is sure to measure up. Specialty drinks, chocolates, and diet-killing desserts are also offered.

Caffe Gambrinus is at the corner of classy via Chiaia and Piazza Plebiscito, near the Palazzo Real and the Teatro San Carlo.
