Goodies that you get to taste. As soon as you enter there are staff members offering all kinds delicious treats filled with tasty goodness. They have coconut balls with lemon cream inside, green covered chocolates with limoncello inside, they have salted caramel with chocolate, Cappuccino cookies with coffee flavor cream inside, they have limoncello, melon cello, and my favorite peach cello to drink. I bought a lot to take back home, but also I just enjoyed the samples they kept offering me...MY HAPPY PLACE, especially after many Dixie cups of cello sampling. They are still trying to get there online ordering up and working. I tried for the past year to order on line. One great service they offer is mailing your purchase back to your home. The cost is really reasonable too. I mailed a large order back home for 55 Euros. I have mailed a box from California to Boston and it costed me more.

Followed by a delicious, soft, crumbly cookie by a friendly young man. The sweets were amazing in and of themselves, but I also sampled varying forms of pesto. I ended up getting pesto with truffle oil for my sister and pistachio pesto for myself after having sampled them with gnocchi. The samples, staff, and shop itself are amazing.

Ahhh Pasticceria Vannelli, I love you. We were a bit confused as there was a location on the…read moreopposite side of the street with the same name which was closed. The owner of our Airbnb recommended we visit PV for the "world's best coffee", he said make sure you see the older lady and tell her "Augusto sent us". We were a bit overwhelmed upon walking in as it was very busy. They had lots of beautiful pastries, cakes etc. I grabbed a table and asked my wife to get me a cappuccino and a "bonbo", i believe that's what the cream filled donut was called. When she arrived at the table I had to take a pic of the wonderfulness we were served. The cap was deelish and the bonbo was fresh and lovely. When we finished eating, i went up to the register to pay. I noticed the older, very pretty lady Augusto spoke of. I asked about the worlds best coffee. She said they didn't have that specific blend although she did offer an alternative, which she had ground fresh for us. We chatted a bit about the location across the street owned by her sons which they solely use for preparing, then she said her sons own a restaurant and proceeded to pull out a menu. It was very nice chatting with her, she was great. No complaints with exception that I live in the US and will not be back there any time soon.

The freshness and quality is outstanding. Everything contains some type of chocolate. Either milk, dark, white or nutella. We had a white chocolate thingy with pistachios that had me swooning. In total, we tried 4 different items and they were all delicious! Grand total was 4€. It's a cute shop, hidden in a less busy street in Montepulciano. But definitely worth the effort to find it. Super friendly service as well. We will definitely return!
