Pasticceria Santoro Giovanni In Ascea

13/07/2025: A repeat experience. We found it by chance, but I'd already read the reviews, so we decided to follow our instincts. The spartan atmosphere suggests it's family-run or at least locally owned. It's a restaurant and pizzeria, with a menu offering a good variety of pizzas (electric oven), specifically for Neapolitan pizza lovers. This isn't the place for that; here they make the Cilentana, thin and with a low crust. We immediately tried their antipasti platter, a perfect choice, with authentic and very pleasing flavors, and their own cheeses, which were truly top-quality. Vegetables, including broccoli, eggplant, zucchini, potatoes, and Swiss chard, were cooked and seasoned well. We asked for a second helping of cheeses and followed it with two pizzas: one called Parmigiana, one with eggplant and one with scamorza and eggplant. As I mentioned, the dough was simple and thin, but the flavor of the toppings made the combination truly high-quality. All this was washed down with a liter of their own red wine, an authentic wine! Refined palates, abstain! A rustic wine, simple like the dishes and delicacies we ate. Finally, a pleasant surprise: a dessert prepared by them, with shortcrust pastry and a delicate lemon cream, but it surprised us. It's a flavor we'll remember for a long time. We really enjoyed it, accompanied by the inevitable Amaro and Annurca apple liqueur. In the end, we paid the right price. There had been a misunderstanding about the appetizer service, but they handled the issue very well and proved to be very attentive to their customers. Thank you, and we'll definitely see you again.
