On that rainy day we bought a couple of small patisseries - all very good - and three smaller slices of three different cakes. And two of them were especially good. They had some nuts and what I assume poppy seeds in them. Combined with jam and sour berries. It's a really good mix of nutty and sour flavours. And also quite filling. It's the kind of stuff you want to find and try when travelling. Something different, something that doesn't come of a mainstream producer. And that's definitely the case here. The patisserie was good, but it's the cakes that makes this place very special. Staff is very friendly and very helpful. Prices are on the lower end.

We found Panificio Dama when were walking down the city streets looking for something to drink and a quick bite to eat. Their window caught our I and we definitely had to stop in. They had all sorts of pastries, pies, and cakes as well as different type of Formaggios. There is not a lot of room in the bakery so we took our food to go. One plus, they do speak English.

They serve Italians first and then serve tourists with an attitude. We saw a group of tourists who wanted to sit together and they were not Italian and this place wouldn't move the tables together. They are rigid and inflexible. We were surprised since Monterroso is filled with tourists and this has not been our experience at other restaurants and places we have eaten at. Don't waste your time, save your money and put it to good use at other places that are very welcoming of Americans and tourists.

We walked over around 8:30 AM and found that it was still there, but it was closed and had a sign that said they opened at 9:00 AM. We walked by again around 9:15 AM and the place was still closed, completely dark, and with no signs of activity. I figured the business had gone away. We found baked goods elsewhere and went on with our day. Later that afternoon we happened to pass by again, and the store was open with a small selection of cannoli and some other sweets. So it seems like in its current state, this is a mid-afternoon bakery of confections. Or something. If you want bread, go to Crai.
