La Biscotteria — Restaurant in California

Updated review : updated from 3 to 5 stars after trying the biscotti! I tried the lemon biscottini, and they are amazing! Hard to stop at one ;)

My 10 year old set an alarm for Saturday morning to ensure that we could actually get these desserts! These are freshly prepared desserts and the restaurant prepares small batches which sells out fast.

For example, the owner asked us for our preference of cream in the Cannolis and took about 10 min to prepare them for us. The quality of cream is really good, and since they are not pre- filled, you get the experience of eating a really crispy shell with soft cream inside. Does not taste that great if you refrigerate them, so if I were you I would order only the amount that you would want to consume on that particular day.

The Sfogliatella was also very crispy, though I have eaten better ones in Italy.

The restaurant is following Covid protocols and you do need to ring the bell to be let in.

Love the endless variety of biscotti, the chocolate covered figs are divine, yummy Amaretti cookies dipped in dark chocolate, and even the simple breadsticks brought me back to my Nonna's kitchen. However, I will tell you that their PANETTONE is the STAR for me! It's the best I've ever had in any Bay Area Italian bakery or even in Italy, honestly! My favorite is the "Triple P" (pineapple, papaya, pear). I do not exaggerate when I say that every single person who said they do not care for panettone asked me for a 2nd slice. It's THAT GOOD! I also love to make French toast with it. It is so delicious that it doesn't even need maple syrup! It's fluffy, buttery, moist, slightly sweet, and crispy on the...

Just moved into the area and so happy this place is nearby. Tried it for the first time last Friday and will definitely be frequenting it regularly. Have only tried the biscotti, amaretti and the almond tarts so far, but they are all super delicious. Also Augustine is super friendly and nice, telling us about all their products and letting us sample the amaretti.

The almond tart especially is amazing, with some special imported cherries on the bottom. Even folks I have shared some with who normally don't eat much dessert could eat an entire tart themselves.

Planning to try more of their tasty goodies in the...
