Pasticceria Tonolo — Restaurant in Venice

Tonolo Pastry is my absolute favourite bakery in all of Venice. Known as the best pastry shop in all of Venice, particularly during the festival period, this place offers some truly amazing cakes and baked delicacies. There is so much on display here and everything looks mouthwateringly delicious that it's hard to pick what to eat. A popular spot in the morning for breakfast for coffee and a Brioche, this place is also very well known for its Venetian Doughnut - the frittella, a gorgeous doughnut with whipped cream inside and a chocolate coated shell on top.

I don't remember this from the years past that I've visited Italy, but it seemed to happen in a few places we went to for pastries this time, so maybe they use something like palm oil rather than butter? Either way, my hot drink would typically wash away whatever it was and all-in-all, I enjoyed the experience. Would...

Just adding to the pile of good reviews because the HYPE. IS. REAL.

When you walk in and have no idea what's going on and everyone is doing things you know you've stumbled across something truly local and unique.

And does it deliver. Just absolutely anything you get here is just good. It's some black magic dust but it's true. The highlight was the cream puffs, which isn't overly sweet allowing all the subtle flavours to come through.

Surprisingly the croissant sandwich I had to double back to notice it was baked with cheese. So much subtle flavour. Well worth weathering the storm to get to. Despite being a bit...
