Sfogliatella done properly 🤌🏼 If you’ve ever wondered the difference between riccia and frolla, here it is✨
Frolla is softer and smoother. Made with a shortcrust style pastry so it’s more delicate, almost melt in your mouth🤎
Riccia is the crispy layered one. Flaky, golden and crunchy with that signature shell that shatters when you bite into it🤍
Same traditional filling, completely different experience.
We make both fresh by hand every single day at Pulcinella Cafe and it’s not something you can rush. It takes years of training and technique to get it right✨
Available in store and also to order
Which one are you picking?
