Full menu

Pastries

  • CannoliCrisp fried pastry tubes piped with sweetened ricotta cream, often studded with chocolate chips and finished with pistachio or candied orange at the ends.
  • SfogliatelleShell-shaped Neapolitan pastry with dozens of crackling, flaky layers wrapped around a semolina and ricotta filling scented with orange peel and cinnamon.
  • Lobster TailAn oversized, puffed cousin of the sfogliatella, its hollow crunchy shell filled with whipped cream blended with French custard.
  • PasticciottoSmall oval tart from Puglia with tender shortcrust pastry baked around a thick vanilla or lemon custard, sometimes paired with black cherries.

Cookies

  • Butter CookiesPiped spritz-style rings and swirls, some dipped in chocolate or sprinkles, with a crisp bite and a rich vanilla butter flavor.
  • StruffoliTiny fried dough balls tossed in warm honey and piled into a mound, decorated with nonpareils and candied fruit for Christmas.
  • PignoliChewy almond paste cookies rolled in whole pine nuts, baked until golden outside while staying soft and marzipan-like in the center.
  • Rainbow CookiesThree thin layers of almond sponge tinted red, white and green, sandwiched with apricot or raspberry jam and coated in dark chocolate.

Breads

  • FocacciaThick, olive oil-rich flatbread dimpled by hand and topped with rosemary and sea salt, crisp on the bottom and pillowy above.
  • CiabattaRustic, flour-dusted slipper loaf with an irregular, holey interior and chewy crust, made from a very wet, slow-fermented dough.
  • Pane di Altamura-Style LoafLarge round loaf of remilled durum semolina with a thick, dark crust and a dense, fragrant crumb that keeps for days.
  • GrissiniHand-stretched breadsticks, thin and brittle, sometimes rolled in sesame or flecked with rosemary, served alongside antipasto.
