Ciao Gloria in Brooklyn Is Pastry Heaven and There Are Rainbow Cookies | Bon Appétit
"Technically called a Neapolitan tricolor bar, the signature rainbow cookie layers cocoa, vanilla, and strawberry sponge with tangy raspberry jam between the layers and is enrobed in a bittersweet chocolate shell that snaps like a candy bar — fudgy without being dense and sweet without being cloying. Owner Renato Poliafito and pastry chef Ginger Fisher Baldwin stock a Mediterranean-blue counter overflowing with standout treats: limoncello bars on a salty shortbread–pistachio crust, espresso-tinged coffee cakes, flaky croissants filled with pistachio cream, and banana bread best enjoyed with whipped mascarpone. Overall it feels like pastry heaven for lovers of well-executed, balanced baked goods." - ByAlex Pastron
