Rome: an evening delicacy

Young Italians have a far more romantic tradition than stopping at McDonald’s early in the morning after a night on the town.
I remember winter nights in the disco of a small mountain town when, after closing time at about 4:30 am, we would make our way to the bakery to bathe in the glow of the light and the smell of freshly made, warm rolls.

You would stamp your feet outside to get warm while munching on bread that had just emerged from the oven.
For the Romans, there is a similar habit, while for others it’s a kind of urban legend.
The “sorchetta con doppio schizzo” is a late evening appointment and indulgence that you can find in only one place – a shop that supplies pastries and pizza.

As you can see from the photo this post-disco delicacy, or after a long stroll along the streets of Rome, is a horn-shaped pastry with nutella and cream.
We think that after your first taste, you will tempted back again.

You can find it in Via Cernaia, where there’s a queue on the footpath outside.

From the site, “La città delle Meraviglie” (The city of marvels), you can find the street heading north for about 200 metres from the Piazza della Repubblica metro station.
