Pasticceria Vannelli — Restaurant in Cortona

My husband and his family have been coming to Vannelli's for over ten years and it is truly the thing they look forward to the most whenever they're in Italy. When I joined the family, I immediately understood why! They serve some of the best coffee and pastries I've ever had and easily beat out their competition in the Tuscan region.

What's even more impressive is that the Vannelli family is always so generous and kind. It only takes a few visits before they consider you a regular, a part of the family.

Grazie mille...

They were cool though. Look for the covered seating area on the shady side of the street. Go...
