Italy is a country known for its love of many savoury foods, especially pasta and pizza, but its pastries are equally irresistible. Visiting Italy without indulging in at least one traditional pastry is like skipping pizza in Naples or gelato in Florence. Trust me, you’ll want to taste them all.
There are countless delicious Italian pastries, each with unique flavours, textures, and stories rooted in regional traditions. Narrowing this list to just 10 was pretty tricky, but I’ve done my best to represent different regions and occasions—whether you’re looking for the perfect match to your morning espresso, a mid-afternoon treat, or a decadent dessert after dinner.
Prepare yourself for a sugar rush because this guide will help you decide which pastries are a MUST-TRY when you visit Italy. Some might be familiar, but others may surprise you.

I'd need so much coffee to wash all the sugar down. 😂
I'm going to look up Italian pastry shopin England now
I would love to import these pastries to my country. “Love them”
Hi Enzo. My mother and aunt used to make something they called "scalides" (sca-leeds) which were very light strips of some sort of pastry, deep fried I think, and coated with honey. I'm not sure of the spelling and haven't had any luck finding any videos on these pastries. Do you have any idea what it is I'm referring to here? Can you ell me what you think thy are and how to spell it? They made them in the fall, I think and when they did it they always made a million of 'em. The explanation was always "we only know how to do it that way." It was the same when my mom made bread. She said she was taught by my grandmother how to make 5 loaves at a time so that was he only way she knew how to do it. I guess arithmetic wasn't invented yet so no chance to divide the ingredients by 5.😁
My family always pronounced conoli "Ga' nool" Slang?
They all look so tasty, i can't choose, i have to try them all God help my waistline and diabetes , but you only live once😂😂😂
This will change your life, and your waistline. 😂
So, now you have to show us how to make them…
I love sfogliatelle, or at least the ones I ate in Naples (sorry, Napoli!) with the creamy candied peel filling. I also had a similar thing with thin slices of peaches in it – squisita!
OMG, I've been waiting for an episode like this🥳
I want to eat all of this!!!! Looks incredibly tasty.
Baba imported from France. Baba au rhum first invented in Paris, probably taken up in Naples when the Bourbons ruled it
Quel maritozzo sembra un mattone. Chi ha fatto l'impasto chiaramente non ha mai assaggiato un maritozzo. I maritozzi sono nuvole, non "dense". Gli altri son davvero ben fatti, ma quel maritozzo proprio no.
I like to think I'm a rather decent cook, particularly Italian as I was taught by my step-granny who was Sicilian and attended Cordon Bleu in Florence, Italy, I'll never be as good a cook as she was but I get by.
My main weakness however is baking desserts, I have to buy them for the most part although I learned to make a damn fine tiramisu as it's my favourite, lucky for me there's an authentic Italian bakery 2 blocks away called Hildegard's that makes every Italian sweet pastry I could possibly have a craving for, they even have a woodburning brick oven to make pizzas on weekends, best Italian pastries and pizza in Winnipeg.
😊I was born in Sulmona Abruzzi Italia. You missed the peach pastry. Li Pesche!
Oh my gosh thank you for doing this difficult task for us 😅 you are truly a soldier of good eats!! This is Koala Hugs by the way! Changed my username
Heavenly. Thank you for introducing pure concentrated Italian love to us in this way. Bucket list became longer now.
But, you weren't eating it "with us" but "in front of us", probably driving everyone crazy and drooling
Great video showcasing many pastries from Italy. Too bad you couldn't include the graffa. I agree with you La sfogliatella is my favorite one followed by the baba'
Should have a t-shirt that says "There's no Pea in Pasta" regarding Gordon Ramsey's habit of putting peas in 99.9% of his pasta dishes.
I live in Greece and I try once a year to take the ferry to Puglia Bari or Brindisi just to have pasticcioto!!! And of course espresso leccese! I hope someday you will make a video down south in Salento!
No cornetto vuoto (crema pasticcera), that´s outrageous!
Iris donuts are huge sellers at Tim Hortons, when people get boxes of mix & match items there's always a few iris donuts in the mix. Whenever I'd bring a box of Tim's donuts and Tim Bits to work for the crew there were often heated arguments and nasty words exchanged over the last iris donut, it's not a polite thing like the last slice of pizza that everyone politely declines and end up as a cold 2am snack, people get territorial over that last creamy donut.
All great stuff, Vincenzo. My two favorites in Sicily are Cartoccino’s and a Iris filled with ricotta.
Do you have recipes for Cornetto, Boconotto and the crostatina?
It’s really funny about European Pastries. Italians created the mother recipes for them. The Austrians stole them and created most of the popular ones. Consequently, the French stole all the Austrian recipes and rebranded them as French alla viennoise (made from Vienna) just to troll the Viennese. Finally the Italians stole back the French recipes and gave them an Italian twist just to give France the 🖕🤌.
You make me so homesick……………. I've made miles of pasta, a truck-load of pastries and cry because I miss my grandparents, the great grandparents and my mother.. I just want to tell you how great it is to remember.
