Review:
Piazza San Domenico Maggiore is Naples’s most popular plaza, a lively gathering place for university students, tourists, and people watchers. On one side is the stunning San Domenico Maggiore Church, from which the piazza gets its name. The piazza is encircled by palazzi on three of its sides. An alleyway on the church’s side leads a short distance to Sansevero Chapel, another must-see. Palazzo Corigliano, part of the university, is along another side, and Palazzo Petrucci is on the third side, where visitors will find Ristorante Palazzo Petrucci – a Michelin-starred restaurant. There are lots of outdoor cafés lining the piazza. The locally famous bakery, Scaturchio’s, serves delectable puff pastries, rum cakes, and St. Joseph’s Day fritters.
