The buttery cookies with a red or green candied cherry in the middle or half dipped in chocolate are simple yet divine! Especwith an espresso drink. In addition to the assortment of butter cookies, they had other Italian pastries - cannolI, sfogiatelle, baba, raffiola, fruit tarts - and sandwiches and an espresso bar. Located right off Piazza Tasso in the heart of Sorrento, it's on a quieter street than the alleys overflowing with shops and cafes. Great spot for a snack and a little reprise from the hustle & bustle.

The price was great as they didn't gouge us like most bakeries on the main strip do, and the strawberry was the best I've had. The crust was soft contrasting the typical dry crust with fruit tarts, and it was just so fresh.

Their sandwiches are on another level, like sinking your teeth into heaven. Every single bite somehow delivers the perfect balance of each ingredient, and the pizza bread is toasted to absolute perfection: crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. I don't say this lightly... it's quite possibly the best thing I've ever eaten. The spot itself is quaint, tucked into one of the many charming alleyways of Sorrento, and if you're lucky, snag one of the few bar-height seats along the wall to enjoy the ambiance and full experience. If I lived in Sorrento, I'd be a regular without question. The black truffle pate...the sun-dried tomatoes...puglia baratta... And the owners? Next level. Genuinely appreciative of every compliment, which somehow makes the whole experience taste even better.

It was absolutely delicious! We were pointed in the right direction of what we had sampled. As we were walking along, I received another sample that was a lemon chocolate about the size of two M&M's put together, and it had a tiny bit of lemoncello in it. So yummy. I had to get some of those as well! Great service, cute shop, and very efficient. We will be back!

I have not been offered so many samples in my life, and I frequent Costco on the weekends. Not only were we able to try a variety of things (various chocolates, almonds coated with hazelnut/pistachio/caramel/limoncello, balsamic vinegar, oils, limoncello, various jams), they were actually amazing quality and that really sold themselves I would visit here just for the experience, not to mention the amazing service from everyone giving you samples. The store is also beautiful from the inside and bigger than it looks from outside. Needless to say, I would 100% go back to see what else I can try!

When it comes to sfogiatelle, I have zero will power! And with all the miles I was walking daily, I told myself it was ok to indulge, can a,ways restrict calories when back in the states. I mean, I'm in Italy where the food is incredible and a big part of the experience. The outer shell of the layered clam shaped shell was nice and crispy; the ricotta cream flavored with orange citron inside was super creamy, slightly sweet and absolute perfection! In Italy it's common to have sfogiatelle and other pastry for breakfast but we always had sfogiatelle for dessert so I would get one for a late afternoon treat along with a cappuccino. Heavenly. My friends enjoyed croissants, cannoli and gelato, many went back daily for the gelato. They also serve meals - panini, pizza, salad, pasta - but we were there strictly for pastries and gelato.

I also picked up a small can of coke and a small bag of potato chips. The cakes are packaged up for us to take away. I used a card to pay and it was €36 but I was not shown the price on the machine. The woman just pushed a number and held it high over the counter so I couldnt read the amount. I speak some italian and thought I must not have heard her correctly when she mumbled the price. When i got back to our hotel i checked the receipt as I thought surely I must have heard wrong. Nope, blatant rip off! The receipt was in the bottom of the bag so found she rang up everything as pastries so it covers up what she actually charges for. But, studying the receipt it must have included the small can of coke for €5! The cakes cost €25 plus another €5 on the bill and extra €1 - so 2 small eclair type of pastry cost €12.50 each! The chips must have also been €5. Chips, small pack cost .70c in the supermarket. Coke she charged me €5 for is those small skinny cans, 0.79c in the supermarket. Assume she must have charged me €1 for the bag the cakes were in. In the 6 weeks we have been travelling all over Italy this is the worst rip off ever! The cakes were ok, not the best we have had but ok. Its the blatant tourist rip off I cannot believe. Before I wrote this review I saw others hsve experienced this rip off as well. How to kill a business, blatant rip off of the customers. Shame on you Pollio!
