AI summary of what 3 dish mentions say about the food
The brioche salate earns consistent praise for its buttery, savory perfection, while the overall vibe is one of refined, rustic comfort that feels effortlessly elegant.
“This butter brioche is toasted and the cheese has melted inside. The first bite is a bit dry to be honest, but the pastry itself is fresh and nice, and the cheese, salami, and ham are quite nice as well. The middle of the sandwich is a bit better because that's where the melted cheese is.”

Dishes mentioned
Cornetto con crema pasticcera
I still haven't reached the custard cream, but the pastry is amazing — fluffy, full of air, very very crunchy, and it has a lemony aftertaste that I really like. Usually anywhere in Italy these are overfilled with crema pasticcera, but this one has just a little bit in the middle and you have to chase it. Otherwise it's a nice croissant, the only thing it's lacking is more custard.
Brioche Salate
This butter brioche is toasted and the cheese has melted inside. The first bite is a bit dry to be honest, but the pastry itself is fresh and nice, and the cheese, salami, and ham are quite nice as well. The middle of the sandwich is a bit better because that's where the melted cheese is.
Aristo (puff pastry sandwich)
This puff pastry sandwich has prosciutto cotto and a couple of slices of cheese. The pastry is a bit tastier and a bit better than the brioche, and it's also fresh, but there's no spread inside. I think this is a local thing, probably how panini are made here, but it turns out to be dry as well. It's okay, it's nice, but not really the best experience I would wish for.
