AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers praise the Mimosa as the standout, calling it a light, ethereal triumph. The overall vibe is one of classic, unpretentious Italian pastry perfection.
“This mimosa is completely different from the classic one I'm used to in Rome. It's basically a mega bignet, a choux pastry shell filled with an incredible chantilly cream — the cream is really good, maybe a bit too cold because it's from the fridge, but I love it. The outside is grated sponge cake, so conceptually it's a dome of cream with sponge grated on top. The pastry is made by them, you can tell from the colour. For tradition, for typicality, for being good, for history, and because it's nothing like the mimosa we know in Rome, I give it a 9. Bruce says it's a 10 for him.”
