Breakfast
pastry case
lemon ricotta morning cake
This cake works because the ricotta acts as a secret weapon, delivering unmatched moisture and a tender crumb while balancing the bright citrus. It achieves this perfect morning pastry profile through a specific combination of chemical reactions and baking techniques.$7.00mbriulata
Mbriulata (also called bignolata or briolata) works perfectly because of the fundamental culinary science of flavor balancing. The combination of savory sausage, briny olives, and sweet sautéed onions creates a masterpiece of taste and texture.$8.00salted caramel brownie
This dish works because the sea salt perfectly balances the heavy, sweet, and rich flavor of the caramel and dark chocolate. Salt actively suppresses bitterness and enhances sweetness, preventing the dessert from becoming cloying. This item is gluten-free.OUT OF STOCK$8.00strawberry rhubarb crostata
This dish works because it relies on the culinary principle of balancing sharp acidity with sweet, jammy fruitiness, all while building a multi-layered contrast in textures.$7.00cornetto
Pairing a cornetto with simple syrup works perfectly because the sweet syrup balances the dough's rich butter content, locks in essential moisture, and creates a glossy, bakery-style crust. It is the ultimate pastry pairing.$7.00pistachio cornetto
This dish works because it relies on the culinary principle of layered contrasts. It balances a rich, buttery pastry with the nutty, slightly salty profile of the pistachio, ensuring the dessert feels deeply satisfying without becoming overly sweet.$9.00prosciutto cornetto
This combination is a contrast of balancing salty, sweet, creamy, and peppery elements on a buttery pastry. Every bite hits a different craving.OUT OF STOCK$11.00tomato tart
This dish is an elevated, savory spin on the classic Caprese pairing. It succeeds because of the harmony between sweet fruit acid and creamy, rich dairy.$8.00chocolate chip cookie
A dark chocolate chip cookie topped with sea salt works because it creates a perfectly balanced sweet-and-salty loop that elevates a simple dessert.OUT OF STOCK$5.00blueberry lavender Poptart
