"The smell of freshly ground espresso and baked bread hits you first when you step into Santi Sebastiano E Valentino, a spacious bakery in Salario. We love sitting at the long marble communal table in the back during winter, or enjoying the front patio when warm weather hits. There are plenty of great choices, including the flaky Danish dotted with tiny dark chocolate chips and the bomba—a yeasty roll filled with pastry cream, topped with even more cream and a dusting of powdered sugar. Then there’s the zesty lemon-poppy apple muffin that’s so rich and flavorful, you’ll swear the baker is lying about it being dairy-free. photo credit: Maela Bonafede photo credit: Maela Bonafede photo credit: Maela Bonafede photo credit: Maela Bonafede Pause Unmute" - Annie Replogle
