In relation to well-known bakeries in Rome, CasaManfredi rapidly made a reputation for itself when it opened in Aventino in 2015. The cornetti are a number of the greatest in Rome, made with imported French butter. And the ache au chocolat? Arduous for me to overstate how a lot I really like these. And to high all of it off, the sophisticated muffins and confections additional showcase the skills of pastry chef Giorgia Proia.
The Aventino location advantages from prolonged outside seating alongside the road, however inside is standing room solely. That is among the issues that makes the opening of CasaManfredi Teatro in Ostiense so interesting: the pastry laboratory is 300 sq. meters (over 3,000 sq. toes). There are 40 seats at communal tables main as much as the gleaming counter.
The brand new location – which is on the sting of Testaccio, close to the non-Catholic cemetery – has all of the breakfast favorites as the unique café. (Did I point out that I like to recommend the ache au chocolat?) In addition to nice espresso from 1895 Lavazza. However there’s additionally a number of pre-made savory dishes for lunch.
Although there’s a good quantity of seating within the lengthy and slender house, many of the laboratory is given over to the cooks, who’re engaged on the bakeries famed pastries – and seasonal goodies like panettone (Christmas cake) and colomba (Easter muffins).
Lastly, there’s wifi at CasaManfredi Teatro, so it might be a great place to work from for a few hours with a espresso and a cornetto on the facet.
