Pasticceria Il Boccione In Roma

The famous ricotta and sour cherry cake is good but you must surely be a lover of ricotta which is predominant compared to sour cherries. Nice discovery, the Jewish pizza rich in dried fruit, not heavy when you eat it but when you hold it in your hand and I believe this also influences the price.

Arrived around 11:15 on a Friday. It’s best to get here early as there was a que down the road when I had left also they run out of food later on the day. On a Friday they close early and aren’t open on Saturday engaging Sabbath. One downside they had some burnt ‘pizza’ I wasn’t going to buy it but the old lady went to the back and brought out a freshly baked one that wasn’t burnt and the younger lady started telling her off for it saying they had to sell the burnt ones first… Other than this good experience and lovely food. The shop is very small and no outdoor seating.

Pastry and cookies are excellent here! Long lines for a very small shop. Strongly recommend that you stop here!

Small shop with only a few items but the cherry tart is really good

The ricotta and sour cherry cake is excellent

Solid! Jewish pizza (cake) is very soft, full of nuts, gel candies, and fruits, ~€5 for a slice. Two ladies run the shop, they’re very nice if you try to speak Italian with them; she said the two most popular dishes are the Jewish pizza and ricotta cake.

Update 2025. It's always a joy to savor these unique flavors again!!! Boccione It is the historic oven of the Limentani family, also known as "Forno Boccione", which has around 2 and a half centuries of history behind it. Mrs. Vilma, the owner, is the custodian of very ancient recipes. it was his grandmother Grazia's great-grandparents who started this business. Five generations who to this day continue to keep the Roman-Jewish confectionery tradition alive:. Here you can taste true "kosher" cuisine, which respects Jewish dietary rules. My grandmother and then my father always came here to get the inevitable bruscolini with a unique flavor due to the way they make them! Then what can I say... not least the almond sweets with cinnamon, the ricotta and sour cherry/or chocolate cake and tart, the Jewish pizza and obviously their panettone, a real delicacy. As a child it was a regular stop here with my grandmother who would take me here to get pasticciotto with sour cherries. Years have passed... and now I love coming back here to pick up the same things that my grandmother made for the whole family. For those who complain about the prices, I would like to point out that all these desserts They require a long process (it's not a bakery!) not to mention the fact that all the ingredients are top quality like the ricotta. If Mrs. Vilma can't find fresh ricotta for her cakes, she doesn't make them and consequently you won't find them. This is to make you understand the honesty and love with which they carry on this tradition.

Historic pastry shop in the heart of the Jewish Ghetto, Il Boccione is an unmissable stop for those who love authentic desserts. The cakes, prepared by hand according to the ancient Jewish tradition, are simply delicious. Simple ingredients, intense flavor and an atmosphere that tells of Rome. Highly recommended.

Mi sono recata in questa pasticceria forno per la decantata crostata di visciole devo dire la crostata buona ma dovrebbero curare più la pulizia perché vetrine e banconi alquanto sporchi niente guanti e poi registratore di cassa e scontrini non esistono peso della crostata con vassoio senza scalare la tara ci sono da rivedere molte cose

Se c'è sempre fila un motivo ci sarà...ed è quello che questo antico forno regala emozioni. Poche cose ma buone, secondo la tradizione. Sapori che rimangono e che ti danno la voglia di tornarci ogni volta che passi da quelle parti.
