Largo Benedetto Bompiani, 8/10, 00142 Roma RM, Italy
A pastry laboratory unlike anything else in Rome: chef Walter Musco creates desserts inspired by contemporary art — cakes that reference Pollock's drip paintings, Fontana's slashed canvases, Burri's textures. The aesthetic is extraordinary; so is the taste. Located in the Ardeatino district south of EUR, it requires a conscious trip from the centre, but for anyone interested in the intersection of pastry and visual art, it is unmissable. Gambero Rosso consistently top-ranked.
