Lonely Planet review for Pasticceria Natalina
A bright green awning announces the little bakery of Natalie and Nick Zarzour, who achieve the most authentic Italian sweets in the city by importing the hard-to-find ingredients (including pistachios, rosewater and Sicilian sheep’s milk ricotta) from the motherland. The creations change daily, though all are made with unfailing attentiveness. The luckiest visitors pick up cassata, a Sicilian liqueur-soaked cake filled with sweet ricotta cream, and a box of old-fashioned Sicilian lemon cookies – bites of buttery, crumbly goodness.
