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

Rainbow CookiesThree thin layers of almond sponge tinted red, white and green, sandwiched with apricot or raspberry jam and coated in dark chocolate.
Almond BiscottiTwice-baked logs sliced into dry, crunchy fingers studded with whole toasted almonds, made for dunking into espresso or vin santo.
Anise BiscottiFirm, lightly sweet twice-baked cookies flavored with anise seed, offering a licorice note and a snap well suited to morning coffee.
AmarettiCrackly-topped almond macaroons with a bittersweet apricot-kernel aroma, chewy inside and dusted with powdered sugar.

Breads

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.
Italian Bread with SesameLong loaf with a crackling seeded crust and a soft, open crumb; a staple for sandwiches, garlic bread and sopping up sauce.
