Italy takes its sweets very seriously.

Swipe through to meet some of our favourites, the ones you’ll find in a proper Italian pasticceria, and right here at The Italian Pantry, Compton Acres.

Cantucci
Twice-baked Italian almond biscuits, made to be dipped in Vin Santo or a strong espresso. Crunchy, nutty, completely addictive. Try our Italian Pantry Almond Cantucci, baked to a traditional recipe.

Amaretti
Light, crisp, and intensely almond-flavoured. Eat them with coffee, crumble them over panna cotta, or simply eat the whole bag.

Cannoli
One of Sicily’s most famous exports. Crisp pastry shells filled with sweetened ricotta. A delicious selection of flavours available.

Ambrosiana Biscuits
Our Ambrosiana range, including the beautiful Fior di Pistacchio, are some of the most popular things in store. Try one, and you’ll understand why.

Come in and treat yourself. Or someone else.
