Bar Tavola Calda Pizzeria Bellavita In Travacò siccomario

10/07/2025: Since I've known Pavia, I've also been to Pasticceria Demetrio, but I've never been to one of its branches before. This one, attached to the train station, is accessed through a small door that leads down to a spacious basement. As soon as I entered, I was almost dazzled by the wide variety of pastries and desserts on the counter. I would have tried them all. If it were for the service alone, this experience would have deserved five stars, given that a staff that shows no signs of slowing down during rush hour, considering the location and all the people coming and going through the shop, is a credit to their professionalism. Considering that there were also people of questionable mental health, continuing to work with the same speed and kindness earns me nothing but high praise for those ladies. The croissants, however, unfortunately didn't completely convince me. The pastry was too buttery even for a croissant lover like me, bordering on sickening. I appreciate the generous amount of cream, but the pistachio one didn't taste like pistachio, except for a slight hint. The white chocolate, on the other hand, was quite convincing, even if I found it sugarier than the others. They're certainly not bad croissants, but I've definitely found better in the city. That said, the various desserts, both mini and individual, are very inspiring, so I'll gladly return for a snack someday.
