PASTRY SHOPS
Manuel Durighello set up business 18 years ago in a small craft workshop, which he
has recently expanded to create this attractive shop. As you enter you’ll be impressed
by the Art Nouveau furniture and the display cabinets filled with biscuits and mignon cakes and
classic and filled brioches. A treat not to be missed is the house specialty, the durighello, is com-
posed of a base of biscuit, a layer of mousse coffee and one of dark chocolate ganache. A small
room through from the cafeteria is devoted exclusively to chocolate in all its shapes and forms,
including a vast assortment of pralines with Piedmontese hazelnuts. The excellent gianduiotti
are served in elegant packaging with reproductions of black-and-white photographs of Turin.
Other specialties are tarts, meringue cakes and, in the Christmas and Easter periods, naturally-
leavened panettone and colomba. Recently the shop has begun to buy in fine organic, whole-
grain, Kamut, rice and maize flours from select mills. Open every day from 7.30 am to 7.30 pm.
