Pasticceria Santa Croce

A little dark and small place, little choice, not cheap cappuccino, good pastries.

They are good and perhaps among the ones I attend ... the best haim puttroppo at carnival .... do not and need to know what Venetian pancakes are!

Pastry very well known in Padua. It is located right in front of the Sanctuary of San Leopoldo Mandic and is not far from Prato della Valle. Outside it does not seem to know what but inside are sold amazing confectionery products. The pastries with the cream are a marvel. The place is not so big is that customers are used at the counter or along the mirrors. It is possible to observe the pastry shop, where confectioners work and prepare cakes and pastries. A show! In this bakery are sold cakes and cakes classic but delicious. In a sense it almost seems to go back in time. In the carnival period are also sold pancakes (with / without cream) and crostoli. Coffee and ginseng in the average. The strong point according to my opinion is just the pastry. Friendly and kind staff. Local newspapers available to customers. No private parking.

Do not be put off by appearance: it is the best pastry shop in Padua! The two brothers who own the pastry shop inherited the art of the best pastry from their father. They don't do stunts, cake designs, elaborate sweets that are so fashionable; theirs is traditional pastry, made with the best ingredients. To try ABSOLUTELY: caramelized cream puffs with eggnog; pastry crescents; shortcrust pastry with jam; rice paste; cream cannolo; Kranz; Chantilly cream brioche. The zuccotto and the saint honoré are exceptional. But everything is superlative here.

excellent pastry!
