Pastry restaurants in Venice

  1. A

    Pasticceria Tonolo

    Dire B&B breakfasts with packaged croissants are corrected at Tonolo, which serves flaky apfelstrudel (apple pastry) and oozing pain au chocolat (chocolate croissants). Chocolate-topped beignets and espresso are filled with hazelnut mousse as rich as a Venetian doge at tax time.

    Pasticceria Rizzardini

    Pasticceria Rizzardini ‘From 1742’ reads the modest storefront sign, and inside you’ll find the secret weapons that have helped this little bakery outlive America: killer cream puffs and dangerous doughnuts. Troll the biscuit section in search of wagging lingue di suocere (mother-in-law’s tongues), suggestively sprinkled pallone di Casanova (Casanova’s balls), and other dolci tipici venexiani (typical Venetian sweets) – but act fast if you want that last slice of tiramisu.

    Pasticceria da Bonifacio

    Just around the corner from the Palazzo Ducale and down a narrow alley, Venice takes a turn for the decadent at Bonifacio with a selection of pizzette (mini pizzas), petit-fours, and traditional Venetian biscuits including zaletti (cornmeal biscuits with sultanas), topped off with Bonifacio’s signature Americano cocktail (sweet vermouth, bitters, and soda).

  4. D

    Mauro el Forner de Canton

    A boutique of bread by the Rialto, with golden grissini (breadsticks), the ubiquitous bovoli (snail-shaped rolls), crusty loaves for all your pressing panini needs, and for some fibre and a change of pace, wholegrain breads.

  5. E

    Pasticceria Dal Mas

    Early departures and commuter cravings call for flaky pastries near the train station, devoured warm with a macchiatone (espresso stained with milk) : apple turnovers, krapfen (doughnuts) and the classic curasan (croissant).

    Pasticceria Rio Manin

    Pull up a chair along this sleepy canal and watch the occasional gondolier drift past, over freshly baked cheese biscuits, berry tartlets, and in the early evenings, a happy-hour spritz.
