AI summary of what 3 dish mentions say about the food
Canoa Bakery’s Baghettina ripiena di crema al burro earns raves for its buttery, indulgent cream filling, with reviewers praising the overall vibe as a cozy, artisanal gem that feels both nostalgic and refined.
“This is a little baguette filled with cream. The cream is very buttery, so I doubt it's custard. Looking at it, it seems like butter. It's buttercream, not pastry cream, so it's whipped and sweetened butter. Meanwhile it toasts nicely. The other reason I ordered it: look at the perfection of how the butter is inserted inside, it's beautiful to see. Fragrant, delicious. There's a lot of butter, but it tastes like cream. You want this.”

Bombolone Fritto con Curry Giapponese
This is a fried bombolone filled with Japanese curry. It's fried in panko, very nice. The Japanese curry is sweet, not spicy, it doesn't blow your mouth up like other types. It's very good. It smells like a bombolone but it's curry.
