AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers praise Ditta Artigianale’s airy, buttery Croissant vuoto as a flawless, minimalist delight. The overall vibe is one of quiet, artisanal perfection.
“This is the best croissant in Florence, no doubt. Francesca Grillotti makes them by hand, with high-level butter and a complex artisan leavening. The outside is perfectly crunchy, the inside has an even, airy alveolation — not too big, not too small. It's a 75-80 gram croissant with 35-40% butter. I always get the plain one, empty, and it's incredible.”
