PASTRY SHOPS<br />

Founded in 1896 by the great-grandfather of Pier Luigi, the present owner, the Roletti<br />

cake shop is an Art Nouveau jewel in the center of San Giorgio Canavese. The<br />

place still conserves all its original décor, including a lovely 1920 counter, and the recipes<br />

are original too, handed down over the years from fathers to sons. The confectionery is<br />

typically Piedmontese with a vast assortment of biscuits and mignon cakes, all baked<br />

daily using only the finest ingredients. House specialties are biscotti della duchessa, small<br />

crumbly cocoa-flavored biscuits. The shop also has a small bar where you can enjoy a quiet<br />

breakfast with freshly baked croissants.<br />

In summer the shop sells artisan ice-creams and in winter Pier Luigi bakes sourdough pan-<br />

ettone in three versions: classic, with Piedmontese chestnuts and with chocolate<br />

Closed Monday morning and Wednesday.<br />
