Andreotti
Film director and Ostiense local Ferzan Ozpetek is such a fan of the pastries here, he's known to cast them in his films. They're all stars, from the fragrant almond biscotti and buttery crostate (tarts), to the piles of golden sfogliatelle romane (ricotta-filled pastries). There's even a supporting cast of savoury gems such as frittini (fried canapés) and cute-as-a-button bruschettine (mini bruschetta).

Valzani
The speciality of this humble cake shop, opened in 1925 and not redecorated since, is the legendary torta sacher, the favourite cake of Roman film director Nanni Moretti. But there are also chocolate-covered mostaccioli (biscuits), Roman pangiallo (honey, nuts and dried fruit – typical of Christmas) and Roman torrone (nougat).

Ciuri Ciuri
A Sicilian ice-cream and pastry shop where you can pop by for delectable homemade sweets such as cannoli (a type of pastry), cassata and pasticini di mandorla (almond pastries), all available in moreish bite-sized versions, and created using the freshest of ingredients. There are also rib-sticking arancini (fried rice balls).

Boccione
You’ll spot this tiny and ancient Jewish bakery by the queue. The burnished cakes erupt fruit and sultanas, and specialities include ricotta cake with chocolate flakes and cherries, marzipan amaretto biscuits, and mostacciolo romano (a kind of sweet biscuit) – all served by authentically grumpy elderly ladies.

Dagnino
In a marble-floored arcade off Via Orlando, this funky 1950s cafe serves delicious Sicilian treats such as cannoli Siciliana (ricotta-filled pastries) and moreish arancini (rice balls), though other morsels are a bit hit and miss.
