Description
Beyond the pastry selection, the kitchen turns out hearty sandwiches, milanesas, and homemade desserts. The sweet empanadas rely on real fruit rather than commercial fillings, rounding out an extensive mix of traditional and inventive recipes. The dining room carries that same personal touch, where Marcello or his daughter often greets newcomers and regulars alike with warm, easy conversation.
