A certain pastry that we especially loved was Cafe Italissiomo’s take on a traditional Italian ‘sfogliatella’ or ‘aragosta’ (also known as a ‘lobster tail’ due to its unique shape). Most likely, you are unfamiliar with this dessert, as we also were, but the English translation is ‘small, thin layers’, which describes the flaky, stacked pastry of this Italian delicacy. Originated in the province of Salerno in Italy in the 17th century, it has truly been diversified and perfected by many different pastry chefs over the decades. Numerous types of fillings can be used, but some of the most common variations include citrus, almond or pistachio cream. The combination of perfectly baked pastry and deliciously smooth, creamy filling creates a truly indulgent and authentic Italian pastry.
Catering to your preferences, their flexible service is ideal for many occasions. The high quality and beautiful flavours are sure to impress anyone who tries the food available at this wonderful cafe.
