Pasticceria Giorgio’s Schiacciata alla fiorentina is the star, a delicate, creamy cloud of tradition. The overall vibe is one of warm, artisanal comfort that feels like a sweet embrace.
“Bad news — the classic was finished, so we only got the one with cream. It looks beautiful, much more filled than the previous one. You can see big pieces of orange. Smells very good, more flavorful than the previous one, you can taste the spices more. You can also taste the yeast a little, to be honest. The cream is much richer than the previous one, a bit fattier, very good. I really wanted to taste the empty one because I think there would be important differences. Still, a great little object. I like the cream a lot, it reminds me of home. The sponge is very tasty too, but the cream is a masterpiece. The orange peel comes through a bit. It's very creamy, almost like there's mascarpone inside. They have some secret they're not telling us.”
