Macgowan In Ravenna

06/05/2025: A Sweet Hidden Gem in Ravenna. Don’t Miss It! At the beginning of May 2025, I visited Ravenna with my sisters. The city is a treasure box, full of historical wonders, vibrant energy, friendly people, and restaurants to die for. But among all the beautiful discoveries, one of the most special for us was this amazing pasticceria. The first thing that draws you in is the incredible aroma on the street and the irresistible display of sweet and savoury treats in the window. We stumbled upon it while searching for a place to have breakfast. We grabbed our coffees from the bar next door and sat outside the pasticceria, which they warmly allowed. We could enjoy our drinks while choosing cakes, biscuits, and savoury bites from their delicious selection. That in itself was such a friendly and welcoming gesture. What can I say about this place? Absolutely unforgettable. If you don’t visit, you’re truly missing out. They offer so many local delicacies, all freshly baked with love. The staff are incredibly friendly and generous with their time and knowledge. We asked many questions, and every lady behind the counter answered us patiently and kindly. We were even curious about one particular cake, and the lovely lady went above and beyond; she came out with a handwritten list of all the ingredients and explained them in detail. We bought many goodies to bring back home, and our families absolutely loved everything. This pasticceria isn’t just a place to grab something sweet; it’s a whole experience of Ravenna’s heart and hospitality. Warm, authentic, and delicious, don’t miss the chance to visit this gem!

01/05/2025: We received the desserts from this bakery as a gift, precisely because it seems that they are original from Ravenna or in any case from the area, and what can I say: we were enchanted by them. In its simplicity and delicacy, the ricotta donut with corn flour is just the right amount of filling; I love its grainy texture. The other dessert, however, whose name unfortunately I don't know, really won me over: the pastry, together with the chocolate and dried fruit, offers a divine combination of taste for the taste buds. When I pass through the center of Ravenna, I certainly know which place to rely on for another moment of sweetness at home.
