Raspberry Chantilly Bigné This delicate choux pastry is filled with whipped cream sweetened with our house made pastry cream and flavoured with raspberry puree. A traditional desert from Piemonte.	Organic Naturally Leavened Breads Our line of organic bread is lovingly crafted daily. We do not leaven these breads with commercial yeasts, relying solely on our own 35 year culture which we feed and maintain with respect regularly	Cannoli Siciliani The recepie for our cannoli is inherited from our family pastry shop in Torino, Italy. We deep fry the shells daily as well as making the ricotta filling regularly. In addition to the traditional chocolate chips and sugar, we add our own candied citrus peel and a touch of cinnamon oil for further flavour enhancement.
Freshly Egg Pasta When we closed La Piola we kept the pasta machine that we now use regularly to make fresh noodles both for our menu dishes and for retail.	Front display case at the bakery We carry an expansive selection of pastries and cookies traditional from our region of Italy, Piemonte.	Daily Panini These have to be experienced to be believed. Easily the best value in the city and almost always sold out.
Thin Crust Pizza For now only available during the summer's Friday night late opening. Also following the tradition of La Piola who introduced this style of pizza in 2001 to the city.	All Butter Croissants Three kinds are available daily, Traditional, Chocolate and Almond. Always made with careful lamination and all by hand. Baked to perfection by our pros.	Special Occasion Cakes For those who have had our cakes, substitutes just do not cut it anymore. The flavour of the creams is subtle and not too sweet and each style is perfected from years of experience (since 1921 in Italy).
Breakfast Bun Another savoury treat that is by far the city's best and best value. Come and see why people are getting exited.	Classic baguette A staple in our bakery since the late 70s. Thin crust but not too dense and dry. The process of slow fermentation retains moisture and highlights flavour.	Gelato Artigianale Our authentic gelato is made in-house by Alberto and is a summer feature to cool and compliment the warm weather. We use only premium ingredients and source many seasonal inputs locally. Our ability to roast and paste nuts gives us added control to further emulate classical flavours of Torino.
Naturally Leavened Sourdough Round Only a few are shaped this way daily. Be one of the few to experience a bread that has no equals.	Daily Soup for the gods Our chef's creations are authentically Italian and seasonally inspired. Our ingredients are often seasonal and local, our job is to elevate them to the palate through imagination, experience and passion, we are bound to please.	Fresh baked goods If you join us in the morning ours you will experience a front table full of colour and scent that is seldom experienced anywhere in the world. It is another benefit of living in Victoria.
Grissini Traditional bread sticks made with loving and patient hands. Each is not only beautiful but also just as tasty.
