06/04/2026: La bottega del goloso (The Gourmet Shop), a fitting name for this pastry shop and café that pleasantly impressed me.
The first positive thing I noticed upon entering this place was one of the things I value most: the owner/customer relationship. I must say that Monica, the owner, is incredibly friendly and personable. She immediately establishes a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and after a few minutes, you feel like you're having a pleasant conversation with a long-time friend.
She's extremely knowledgeable in her role and ready to satisfy even the smallest needs or requests.
The place is spacious, and you can comfortably dine at a table in complete tranquility in a spotlessly clean and familiar atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease; an atmosphere I adore and rarely find elsewhere.
Let's get to the most interesting part for anyone reading a review: the quality of what's on offer.
I opted for something I've almost never found to be excellent: the cappuccino, and I was incredulous. It was the best, the creamiest I've ever had. Giving their cappuccino a 10 out of 10 is an understatement; I'd call it superb!
I then asked for a recommendation on one of the many croissants available, and I must say that the quality here, too, was excellent. All freshly baked artisanal brioches, the dough risen to perfection, and most importantly, they were free of that excessive, nauseating sweetness I'd unfortunately become accustomed to. I tried a saccottino and a girella, both incredibly good!
It's Easter time, so it's impossible not to buy a Colomba and a Neapolitan Pastiera, my wife's favorite dessert, and unfortunately I can't show you the delighted expression she had while devouring it.
The various cakes are very beautiful, aesthetically speaking, and I'll try them sooner or later.
We've only been going here for breakfast for two days, and I regret not having gone sooner; it would have saved me a lot of disappointment and heartburn.
Furthermore, their products are reasonably priced, especially considering the quality!
The pastry chef is also incredibly friendly, and I hope you'll excuse me if I forget his name.
I encourage anyone passing through La Loggia to stop by this pastry shop for some essential culinary treats. It's definitely worth it!
