    We were walking around Roma exploring the sights when we decided to check out the Jewish Ghetto - I…read morehad heard that this was a noteworthy spot in the city and since we w ere relatively close we only thought it was natural to make our way over. Boccione landed on my radar as a noteworthy bakery in the area, so we decided to check it out. The Jewish Ghetto contains several sights, restaurants, and shops - Boccione stood out at first glance due to the line that was formed outside into the street. Don't let that detract you, as the bakery itself is very small so only 3 or 4 people can be inside at a time. There's not much charm or decor inside - it's pretty to the point. They have a small selection of pastries to choose from, with the most noteworthy being the crostata di ricotta e visciole. This is a pie-like dessert that's filled with ricotta and currants. I saw this on several dessert menus throughout Italy but this is supposedly where it originated. They offered two flavors, currant and (I think) chocolate and we went with the former. The crostata was good - the ingredients tasted super fresh and it wasn't heavy at all. Service was efficient, and overall this was a real treat. I would definitely recommend Boccione if you find yourself in the area.
