Scaturchio

Cappuccinos come with complimentary arias at this sweeping, kitschy cafe, set inside Teatro San Carlo. Settle into a Chesterfield and sip away to Verdi, or – in the warmer months – kick back on the piazza and soak up the city's real-life opera scenes. While the cafe serves savouries such as arancini, opt for Scaturchio's top-notch espresso and cult-status minestriale, a decadent, dark-chocolate medallion.
