Luminist is a French-style bistrot inside Palazzo Piacentini on Via Toledo, with excellent pastries and savory options, but it's pricey for Naples.

Pan Brioche con Panna Acida e Salmone Marinato
Now my savory choice: pan brioche, sour cream, and marinated salmon. Everything is superlative. The quality and also the abundance of this salmon portion is incredible, really top quality. The pairing with this sour cream, which also has lemon zest, is fantastic. And a special mention for this pan brioche, really super soft and with its own flavor, truly delicious.
Cannolo Sfogliato al Cacao con Ganache al Cioccolato
I almost didn't get this because on the menu I read 'cannolo'. As you know, I only eat cannoli in Sicily, but I didn't realize it was a puff pastry cannolo. This is basically a cocoa croissant shaped like a cannolo, filled with chocolate ganache. The thing about Luminist is that everything makes you enjoy it more than the last. But the puff pastry is atomic, just like the croissant's was. But you teach me that a well-made chocolate ganache would improve even a timbale of shoelaces, so imagine if you put it inside a cannolo with such good puff pastry. This is orgasmic.
Colomba al Cioccolato
Very kind of them, since it's Easter time, they let us taste a chocolate colomba. It's delicious, super soft. This is very dangerous because if you buy a whole one, you risk eating it before bringing it to the Easter lunch.
