Vigoni In Pavia

Unwelcoming atmosphere. I went in for the first time thinking it was the best pastry shop in Pavia, but I had to change my mind. They didn't take me into consideration and my requests fell on deaf ears as if they didn't care about selling! I'll never go in again!

A historic pastry shop located on Pavia's main street, just a few minutes' walk from the Visconti Castle and practically across the street from the university. It bakes a variety of delicacies, topped by the legendary "Torta Paradiso." Named after the name!

We came here for breakfast, as it was sponsored by friends from Pavia. The breakfast was good, the setting beautiful, and the staff friendly. Other than that, I can't say I'll remember this place for any particular things or tastes. It's not cheap, but we knew that before we went in. We had different expectations. Tomorrow we'll try something else.

We went to Vigoni, a historic establishment in the center of Pavia, known for being the originator of Torta Paradiso. The space has been modernized, but the chosen style doesn't really reflect the older, more traditional part of the place, losing some of the charm we were expecting. I did order Torta Paradiso, but unfortunately, the slice served wasn't very fresh and was rather dry. The coffee also didn't convince us. Furthermore, the pastry buffet was very limited and didn't showcase their historic excellence. Added to this, the bill was quite high: €14 for a breakfast that, overall, didn't entirely satisfy us. A shame, considering the significant history and name of this pastry shop.

The best Torta Paradiso in Pavia. The Baci di Dama are also excellent. Friendly staff.

I tried the famous paradise cake and I have to say it's not bad

Excellent desserts, the historic Torta Paradiso. I bought it from Take Home, and the cake came in two sizes, but while both were very good, they were a bit dry... the cake is probably even better on site. I've tasted other traditional desserts there, and I can confirm the quality.

Visiting Pavia, Don’t miss this liberty style cafe bar! A treasure in front of the university.

A magical place with a breathtaking atmosphere where time stands still... (and where the most beautiful designs are drawn on cappuccinos 🤫)

As a foreigner, I was intrigued by this historic pastry shop! A pleasant experience, located on Pavia's main street, across from the university and just steps from Piazza Duomo. A well-made cappuccino with a slice of the historic Torta Paradiso. Reasonable prices, prompt service. Highly recommended!
