De Pascale In Avellino

Babà, graffa, and maritozzo. The podium, in my personal opinion, but the order between the three varies. Of course, it's not just these, but if you look for "that" flavor, you'll find it unchanged every time. The display changes with the holidays, with the punctuality of the San Martino nougats, the reliability of the mostacciolo al naspro—it couldn't be Christmas without them—with the certainty of the unsurpassed and always fresh almond paste desserts. It's difficult to find the bombarda anywhere else, except at De Pascale, which offers it unchanged and fused with the same timeless aromas. The secret of this pastry shop that has defied trends and remains fully in the tradition and history of Avellino and its Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, lies in the choice to respect the time of memories, with an eye to innovation. A coffee at De Pascale is not just a coffee, but a moment of conviviality. You'll meet Roberto at the house, Francesco, whose advice in the exquisite wine cellar is a true lesson, and Sara and Tiziana, always cheerful, between the workshop and the counter. No less beloved by customers is Teresa, who, with charm, manages even the longest Sunday lines. Some places are best left unchanged, serving as reference points for those who, alone or in company, have stopped there for refreshment.

The cakes and pastries are of undeniable quality and deliciousness. A special mention goes to the babà, excellent! In my opinion, the coffee could be improved, with a sour, burnt taste.

De Pascale's Babà is an institution in Avellino. Unbeatable!

Excellent historic pastry shop in Avellino, considered by many to be the best in the city.
