Walked past this bar / pasticceria mist everyday while I was in Sorrento and the sfogiatell,…read morecannoli and other pastries in the window lured me in, calling my name! 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.
