Nestled in the historic streets of Urbino, L’Aquilone has earned a 4.7-star reputation among locals and visitors alike for its masterful crescia sfogliata. Street-food expert Sentieri Golosi, on a tour of Italian street eats, calls it “a great spot” where “the classic combinations are unbeatable and the quality is excellent.” The menu highlights two versions that have earned his approval: the Crescia Sfogliata con Prosciutto Crudo, Stracchino e Rucola and the Crescia Sfogliata Urbinate con Prosciutto Crudo e Caciotta—both simple, traditional, and expertly executed.

Crescia Sfogliata con Prosciutto Crudo, Stracchino e Rucola
This is very tasty, very fresh, and very hot. It's very indulgent. I like it. This combination is a discovery for me, I think I'll eat it often. The sfogliata is very tasty, soft, with the first layer slightly, just a little bit crunchy, and the combination inside is unbeatable. If I weren't eating like a pig these days, I'd take another 12.
