Location: In Testaccio, a short walk from the equally awesome Volpetti.
The place: This is THE ultimate pastry shop if you want to eat superb cornetti or pick up delicious pastries for yourself or for hosts/family etc. Their desserts are so pretty, it almost hurts to bite into them. But you quickly forget about that after you taste what you're eating.
The sweets: Superb. I mean, we are talking serious pastry chefs here, people. I tried a plain cornetto that was so buttery fresh that it practically melted in my mouth. No chewing required (OK, that might be a little dangerous!). This was followed by the most perfect Tiramisu in all of Italy - a mini version served in its very own chocolate cup. Oh. My. God. It was divine. A perfectly created concoction.
Price: Budget-friendly, but this will depend on what you're buying. Obviously an entire cake will run you more cash than a simple cornetto!
By the looks of it, this place is very popular with the locals, which makes it a hit in my books.
