TortaPistocchi
Via del Ponte di Mezzo, 20

Since 1990, Claudio Pistocchi has been crafting his masterpiece: the Dark Chocolate Cake, soft and creamy, made exclusively with extra dark chocolate, unsweetened cocoa, and a touch of milk cream—without sugar, eggs, butter, or flour. Today, the tradition continues to evolve, even at Easter: decorated eggs, bunnies, and chicks made of milk, dark, or white chocolate, along with elegant decorations like flowers and bells. Each piece is a small, edible work of art—elegant and delicious.

Named after the artist Lietta Cavalli—sister of fashion designer Roberto and an icon of experimental fashion in the 1970s and 1980s—we find Caffè Lietta. During the Easter season, they prepare delicious chocolate eggs, while year-round you can order their fantastic torta della nonna or the “pirulo”, a unique pudding made with shortcrust pastry filled with ricotta, available in different variations depending on the season.

For dark chocolate lovers, Cioccolateria Ballerini is a must-visit; they use high-quality 75% dark chocolate for their eggs. Of course, for those with a sweet tooth, there are also eggs made with milk or white chocolate. The creativity of this chocolate shop is truly remarkable: ranging from ladybug eggs to penguin eggs. However, the ones decorated with a delicious mix of dried fruit remain a must-try...beautiful to look at and delicious to eat! A year-round favorite is Pan di Lino, a leavened pastry soaked in vinsanto and raisins.
