Alright, Bombolo. The idea? Genius. A hot, sweet, crispy schiacciata packed with dessert fillings? Say less. I was ready to ascend into a sugar-induced trance. But then… reality bit back.
First bite? Nice. Crunchy outside, warm inside — good contrast. But then you hit a pocket that’s just bread. Just… dry bread. Like the filling ghosted halfway through construction. I found myself wondering: did they apply the sauce with a paintbrush? Or a Q-tip? We need more. Drip it, drown it, dunk it — I don’t care, just give the insides some moisture, please. It’s a dessert, not a bread seminar.
To be fair, it’s not bad. It’s definitely sweet and comforting. You could absolutely eat it after a long walk around Pisa while pretending you’re living your best Euro Instagram life. But is it the kind of dessert that’ll haunt your dreams? That’ll make you hop on a train just to get another bite? Not really.
In short: Bombolo is like dating someone who’s hot but emotionally unavailable — it looks like it’s gonna hit all the right spots, but deep down, you know something’s missing.
