Dishes mentioned
Cipollina con Patate e Porchetta
This cipollina has a really good puff pastry, well made. I can taste the potatoes a lot, the porchetta a bit less. There might also be some cheddar inside. It's a popular item they sell a lot of.
Cipollina al Pistacchio
It's quite oily like the first one, so it feels rich. I can taste the pistachio but not as much as I imagined. There's more pistachio towards the center. It's good, edible.
Cannolo al Pistacchio
It's really pistachio-flavored. The wafer is pistachio, the Nutella cream is pistachio, there's pistachio crumble. They're turning me into a pistachio. Really good, I liked it.
Cannolo al Pan di Stelle
I taste a lot of Nutella and chocolate. Look at this, there's a really thick layer. Maybe they wanted to fill the cannolo but they threw it all here. It's completely full. There's more chocolate coating than Nutella inside. It's crazy, it's full full.
