Populista - Sfizi e Tigelle In Reggio nell'emilia

14/03/2026: A good pastry shop, famous for its unique fruit-shaped pastries. They're genuinely tasty, but I think €8 each is a bit pricey. The pastries are good but average, the erbazzone is very good, and the service and staff are adequate. Recommended, but it's become a bit too commercial.

12/03/2026: On March 8th, caught up in the frenzy of TikTok reviews—so I'll leave you to guess—a friend of mine and I decided to travel quite a few miles to try the much-vaunted realistic fruit. We tried the downtown location. We paid €32 for four fruits: one broad bean, one hazelnut, one lemon, and one mango, which, considering the work that goes into it and the raw ingredients, is quite reasonable. The mango was really good, congratulations, the broad bean was nothing special, nor were the hazelnuts and lemons, but we probably made a mistake by going there in the afternoon... My 3 stars go to the guy who, after spending €32 and an hour's drive there and back, didn't have the heart to give me the large bag to carry the sweets because the small ones were sold out. It's not his fault I had to go all this way, but our choice. The inconvenience with the bags could have happened, but if it had been handled with courtesy and friendliness, I wouldn't have batted an eyelid, just as I didn't with the opposite treatment. Evidently, he had forgotten to restock the friendliness and friendliness along with the small bags.
