Full menu

Pastries

Lobster TailAn oversized, puffed cousin of the sfogliatella, its hollow crunchy shell filled with whipped cream blended with French custard.
PasticciottoSmall oval tart from Puglia with tender shortcrust pastry baked around a thick vanilla or lemon custard, sometimes paired with black cherries.
Zeppole di San GiuseppeChoux pastry rings fried or baked, filled with pastry cream and topped with an amarena cherry; traditionally made for St. Joseph's Day in March.
Cream Puff (Bignè)Light, airy choux shells split and filled with vanilla or chocolate cream, dusted with powdered sugar or glazed on top.

Cookies

StruffoliTiny fried dough balls tossed in warm honey and piled into a mound, decorated with nonpareils and candied fruit for Christmas.
PignoliChewy almond paste cookies rolled in whole pine nuts, baked until golden outside while staying soft and marzipan-like in the center.
Rainbow CookiesThree thin layers of almond sponge tinted red, white and green, sandwiched with apricot or raspberry jam and coated in dark chocolate.
Almond BiscottiTwice-baked logs sliced into dry, crunchy fingers studded with whole toasted almonds, made for dunking into espresso or vin santo.

Breads

Italian Bread with SesameLong loaf with a crackling seeded crust and a soft, open crumb; a staple for sandwiches, garlic bread and sopping up sauce.
Semolina BreadGolden durum wheat loaf with a slightly sweet, nutty taste and a tight, buttery-yellow crumb, often topped with sesame.
FocacciaThick, olive oil-rich flatbread dimpled by hand and topped with rosemary and sea salt, crisp on the bottom and pillowy above.
CiabattaRustic, flour-dusted slipper loaf with an irregular, holey interior and chewy crust, made from a very wet, slow-fermented dough.
