Perfect Cornettos!…read more We stumbled upon this pasticceria because our holiday home host invited us for coffee here. And our host also bought the cornettos here, which they delivered daily fresh for our breakfast. After the coffee we bought some cookies (were good) and pastry here. But the real treat here are the different varieties of Italian Cornettos (creme/chocolate filled croissants) you can buy here. They are absolutely divine! Fresh, crispy and different kinds of fillings. We enjoyed the custard and chocolate filling the most. These are - until now - the best cornettos we've ever had. We tried several other pasticcerias on our 5-week trip through Italy. Nothing came ever close to these croissants. Other products were fine too....but the cornettos are from a different planet. So, if you are in Formia....or anything closer than a 100 miles....check out this bakery! There are some tables too, in case you wanna sit down and enjoy a coffee or so. Prices - especially for this quality - were fair as well. Not to be missed!

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.
