A beautiful, large pastry shop with excellent quality and value. The coda d'aragosta was exceptional, the babà was very good, but the diplomatico had a composition issue. Overall a solid 8.5, great value for money.

Coda d'Aragosta
Look how beautiful it is, how it crunches! The chantilly cream is wonderful. The puff pastry is incredible — it's like a disco in my mouth. The cream is very good. Excellent.
Diplomatico
The section looks beautiful, lots of sponge cake as I like it, well baked. But it's a bit dry — you can see only the puff pastry and not the sponge cake, the cream slides away. The baking is good, the cream is good, the sponge cake is good, the puff pastry is fresh and flaky. But the composition could be better — it's a bit dry because everything slides off. I'd say 8.5, but that diplomatico could be improved.
Babà
Look how it's soaked in alcohol — it seems like a good pastry. Very good. The pastries are very fresh, you can see they work well and have good production. The babà is very, very good.
