    Traditional Easter sweets, treats abound in Naples

    Easter brings the opportunity to celebrate not just the religious holiday, but the arrival of spring and the chance to share beloved meals and desserts with family and friends regardless of beliefs. For those looking to include traditional Easter treats in their holiday feasts, a trio of Naples businesses— Altavilla Pizza & Trattoria, Taste of Poland and Mikkelsen’s Pastry Shop—offer specialty items ranging from breads and pastries to lamb-shaped pats of butter.
