I heard so many good things about this pasticceria that i had to try it. In particular I was…read moreinterested in trying the Torta Enrico, their signature torta and the Zurich Torte, which definitely caught my eye on the website. They were both delicious, but I have to say that they did not meet my expectations. Maybe I had to high of an expectation you might say and you might be right. Anyway, the torta Enrico is a sweet pastry crust (pasta frolla) filled with dark chocolate and pears. The crust is really good, but overall it didn't deliver the amazing experience i was expecting. It was just really good. Same thing for the Zurich Torte, a sweet pastry crust filled with baked pastry cream and apples, very very good, but not sublime as i was hoping. Anyway, this is a classic pasticceria in Milan that delivers very high quality desserts and pasticcini, you can't go wrong with it.

Founded in 1945 and having maintained a homey interior where the full pastry kitchen can be seen through glass behind the counter-top, Pasticceria Castelnuovo opens every day except Monday at 08h00 with a focus on Italian classics given a Milanese focus, several items not previously seen in Venice or Parma soon to become regular findings including a Brownie-dense cake entitled Torta Enrico that marries Pears to Chocolate with almost no additional sugar making for a bold, bittersweet taste. Offering several styles of Petit Fours, Tartlets and Cookies, those with Marzipan and Nuts a beautiful balance of textures that saw sweetness tempered by natural savory notes, both the Cream and Jam Croissants were still toasty warm with well-separated layers of lamination beneath their golden exterior, a tiny Layer Cake of Rice infused with Rum also quite pleasant.
