It was creamy and paired well with my vegana jam filled croissant and made for a nice midday pick me up when I arrived in town.

We had an assortment, ranging from cold cuts, salmon to their local fish bakkalà. My son is allergic to lost fish so he gorged on the fried items, prosciutto and mozzarella, risotto rice, and ragu. We also had Prosecco and juices. Loved it so much we went back last night, but at 730pm there wasn't as much to choose from, especially the seafood ones. Off the beaten path and so yummy!

After looking around and smelling the goodness of the shop, we settled on these small puffs of choux pastry dough filled to the brim with fresh pastry cream. Now, you might be someone who exhibits a great amount of self-control, and you think you should only get one - trust me, go for two (2), because after all, don't they say having a dessert in each hand is a balanced diet? You could just tell these delightful, feather-light pastries were going to be amazing, and they were! When you go, just ask for the Cretia Chantilly, or point them out in the case. Just get there early, as these tend to sell out especially during the busy tourist time. Otherwise, you'll be just fine.
