“This peno cioccolato is as big as my face. The puff pastry is very well executed, buttery but not too buttery, not too greasy. The chocolate is noticeable and melted very well. Look at that honeycomb structure inside.”

Dishes mentioned
Peno Cioccolato
This peno cioccolato is as big as my face. The puff pastry is very well executed, buttery but not too buttery, not too greasy. The chocolate is noticeable and melted very well. Look at that honeycomb structure inside.
Canestrello con Ananas, Uvetta e Crema
I don't know how to describe this puff pastry with pineapple, raisins and cream. The little crown on top is super crunchy and underneath it's super soft. The pineapple, the guy at the counter told us, is only used to soften the bottom part. Here too, the puff pastry and butter are excellent.
Pasticcino con Burro e Crema Pasticcera
Look how cute this little pastry is. It has butter and custard cream. It's super soft, has the consistency of banana bread. It's more spiced than I imagined. The custard is very good.
Girella con Sesamo Sfogliato, Mozzarella e Prosciutto Cotto
This is a savory swirl with sesame puff pastry, mozzarella and cooked ham. Good. The main characteristic of Fola is that they know how to puff pastry anything. Super light, and nicely honeycombed. There are fantastic little pieces of cooked ham that do no harm. It tastes a lot of sesame because it's completely covered in sesame. Inside it looks like the Fortress of Solitude of Superman. Those columns are all mozzarella. Really good.
