There is always time for a coffee and cake... Will drag my mother down there for a treat one day. I am assuming they will be open on Christmas Eve?

Sorry to be naive, I know that sfogliatelle is a type of pastry, but what type?

The best type!
The pastry is very light, the filling is sweetened ricotta with a touch of nutmeg, or is it cinnamon? Either way, it is lovely.
This will give you an idea, though the shape of these is not as I remember them from Naples where they were scallop shaped:
