Italian pastry, where to taste the best products

Italian pastry and bakery are famous for their quality and taste. In Italy, we have so many different cakes, tarts, desserts, donuts, and bakery products representing each regional tradition. Many of them are linked to a specific period of the year like Christmas time, Carnival or Easter. For example, in December and January, you can find panettone and pandoro in most bakeries and pastry shops in the main towns.

Today I want to suggest to you where to taste some excellent sweets and salty bakery products in Rome. And for those who can’t travel now, please find out some cool recipes in this article.

Where to eat good Italian pastry

“See Rome and then die”. Does it sound wrong to you? Yes, I know, the original version of the sentence by J. W. Von Goethe was “See Naples and then die” but I’m sure it’s worth the same! So if you are planning a visit to the Eternal City – and I think you should – it’ll probably include a Vatican tour. After a long walk, you risk sitting down at the first nearby restaurant to get fed as soon as possible. Please don’t do that. Unfortunately, the St. Peter’s Square area is doomed by many cheap and unjustifiably expensive restaurants, bistros, and bars. If you cross St. Peter’s square and walk just 5 minutes more towards Porta Cavalleggeri, you won’t regret sitting down to eat at the roman bistro I’m telling you about right now.

Cresci roman bistro and bakery

The philosophy of the entire Cresci menu is to offer customers home cooking in a public place. This was born as a bakery, a small and genuine neighborhood shop, where to buy amazing pizza, bread, and bakery products. Year after year, thanks to its success, it became a restaurant, bar, and bistro where to find so many choices from day to night. The location is welcoming and the atmosphere will win you over: a small oven in an open-plan lab, working to research the best flavors. Chef Danilo Frisone created a simple menu for lunch and dinner.
