TARTS
Please order a week in advance; some tarts may be available with shorter notice.
Our authentic tarts are made from scratch in small batches using our favorite recipes from across Italy, each a tradition in their region. You'll find flavors that are perfectly balanced, and never overly sweet.
Most of our tarts start with a buttery shortbread crust — our signature recipe that we've perfected over time — that is rolled out by hand and then filled with flavorful ingredients like fruit preserves, lemon and dark chocolate.
These tarts are wonderful for dessert, of course, but they also hit the spot at breakfast and as a snack alongside coffee and tea.
Our tarts are sold whole and in individual slices at farmers' markets, grocery stores and other shops, and whole tarts can be made to order.
FRESH FRUIT TART
Underneath all of that fresh fruit lies a layer of vanilla pastry cream, making for a light, refreshing dessert held together by our signature shortbread crust.
CROSTATA
This classic tart is enjoyed throughout Italy, and its fruit filling varies by region. With a shortbread crust and lattice top, ours is filled with either apricot or raspberry fruit preserves.
LEMON TART
Silky, souffle-like lemon filling cradled in a shortbread crust. Lighter and airier than most lemon bars, thanks to fluffy whipped egg whites. Lots of fresh lemon zest and juice give this tart a superb flavor.
Blueberry Tart
Vanilla pastry cream and organic blueberries fill this torte made with a sweet, flaky butter crust.
CAKES
These aren't your standard buttercream-frosted cakes.
From top to bottom, each layer has been given careful thought — we promise an unforgettable mingling of textures and favors. You can expect authentic Italian fillings like decadent pastry cream and mascarpone custard paired perfectly with lighter layers like spongy cake and crunchy, ethereal meringue. Premium chocolate, coffee and fruit lend pure, natural flavor.
Our cakes are perfect for a wedding down to a dinner for two, and everything in between: birthdays, holidays, dinner parties and other celebrations. Each cake is elegantly decorated to fit the mood.
MANDORLATA
A single-layer cake loaded with almond flour and draped in dark chocolate ganache. A touch of espresso coffee is added to the batter, which intensifies the nutty and chocolatey flavors.
