Rome's 'millefoglie temple'. Ultra-thin puff pastry layers + rich vanilla custard. Near Villa Torlonia.
Via Nomentana, 285, 00162 Roma RM, Italy
Known throughout Rome as the city's temple of millefoglie — the classic Italian puff pastry dessert made with ultra-thin layers and rich vanilla custard. Cavalletti's version is considered the benchmark: crackling pastry shattering around a silky cream. Also excellent: tarts and seasonal pastries. Worth the trip to the Nomentana area for millefoglie devotees.
