That first bite of warm custard and buttery pastry… just wow!
Proper old-school Italian dessert. The filling was super creamy! Loved it!
Tried it fresh at the market and honestly blew me away. Not something you find just anywhere.
Never had one before and now I’m obsessed. That custard is next level.
Sweet but not too sweet, and the texture was bang on. Would happily eat two in one go.
