Emozioni Pasticceria — Restaurant in Capitola

Emozioni is by far and away THE BEST meal of my life, but there will be additional flowery adjectives and prose to ensure that anyone reading this or looking at the pictures will get their tushy there like now.

Here are the highlights: Special Naples Style Pizza. If a prosciutto pizza and the world’s flakiest most buttery delicious croissant had a baby, this is what you would get. The co-owner Michele shared this is the reason they became business partners due to both being from Naples, and this one of a kind pizza. My finger ensured that no crumb was left alone on the plate. You will never find another pizza anywhere except Naples or at Emozioni that has a pastry crust on top. Three extra slices got buckled safely into my ride.

Zucchini, potato, and Bechamel pizza slice. Hey mom, I am not eating my veggies, and I am loving every minute.

Their salami one has some good spiciness and the pizza was covered with salami.

Passionfruit Sorbetto tasted exactly like the lilikoi fruit that a farmer in Maui gave me from his tree.

Strawberry Sorbetto = As Barry White would say, “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love Babe.”

My wife loved her Chocolate and Coffee Gelato, and of course I had to do some qc and the gelato more than passed my incredibly high standards.

The pastries were completely insane as well, and they could have easily been talked about first: Chocolate Mousse Marvel, Cherry Mouse Jubilee (their attention to detail even laboriously took out the seeds), Kiwi Sensation Tart, and Lemon Heaven Tart. These are not the official names.

Michelemade our trip even more memorable with his genuine friendliness and how he treated us feel like family. Everyone I saw walking to the store looked so happy and left even happier.

If you are looking for a true taste of Italy - allora non cercare altre - which means: then look no further.

Enzo has the herbs and MIc has the verbs...come over and meet them yourselves and taste their excellence.

Order any choice of focaccia and you cannot make a mistake.

I had the Strawberry Mousse Ball and it was the bomb for sure - sooo good - I wanted one for each hand.

Have a coffee and sit down and talk to them or to their friends.

And non dimenticare di portarne un po' a...

If you want authentic Italian pastries, this is the place to go. The bakery is small(inside a restaurant), but the staff is amazing - they can tell you a story about each dessert, and every day they have something new, so you can never get bored of the selection. As for the desserts themselves, they are just spectacular - my wife and I tried about 5 different ones and each one had something I remembered. Just go and taste...
