Lemon-lime cheesecake made by the most warm-hearted and dedicated Italien pastry chefs I know! The first time we visited Elio's store we tried pastries filled with very soft and delicious creams. Especially the chocolate ones had a surprisingly smooth taste to it. Elio explained to us that he only uses the freshest and authentic ingredients which I appreciate a lot. That's why I decided to go for a customized cake as a gift. The lemon-lime cheesecake had different layers and textures. Not only the citrus note gave it freshness but also the cream itself which was soft and not too sweet. Also the base had a nice buttery taste. Highly recommend to check out this place, and do have a chat with Elio. This is as close as it gets to eating...
Read moreDuci is an Italian pastry shop the city has been waiting for. From home made cannoli to beautifully crafted home made cakes, chef Elio will greet you with the kindest of smiles and a big selection of amazing sweets that will make your mouth water.
Elio's life has been quite the story, the Sicilian born chef got aquainted with local food and pastries from a very young age. Food, taste, smells and beautifully plated dishes followed him throughout his life. We're very happy he chose to reside in our city, The Hague, so we can enjoy his amazing pasty as often...

The coffee was great but the dolci were the crowning glory. Intricately put together, these sweets are a real delight and I am sure I will bring more friends here to share...
