Reviewers rave about the Colomba Maina, a standout dish that defines Conad’s comforting, approachable vibe. The overall sentiment is warmly positive, celebrating simple, satisfying flavors.
“This colomba is very disappointing. It tastes like nothing, just sugar from the topping. The dough is dense like a ciambellone, no alveolation, it looks underbaked. For €3.29 it's cheap, but honestly I wouldn't buy it again.”

Colomba Maina
This colomba is very disappointing. It tastes like nothing, just sugar from the topping. The dough is dense like a ciambellone, no alveolation, it looks underbaked. For €3.29 it's cheap, but honestly I wouldn't buy it again.
Colomba Gentilini
This one is much better. The dough is softer, buttery, it melts in your mouth. The candied fruit is good, the raisins are nice. It feels more artisanal. It costs €13.90, which is a lot, but the quality is there.
Colomba Motta Firmata Bruno Barbieri
This colomba surprised me. The aroma is incredible, almost perfumed, with notes of vanilla and a slight alcoholic hint. The candied fruit is bigger and tastier, the almonds are toasted. The dough is drier and cleaner, no greasy aftertaste. For €11.50 and 900g, it's a great value. I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10.
