La Pansa

A marbled and mirrored fifth-generation cafe on Piazza del Duomo where black-bow-tied waiters serve minimalist Italian breakfasts: freshly made cornetti (croissants), full-bodied espresso and deliciously frothy cappuccino. Standout pastries include the crisp, flaky coda di aragosta con crema di limone, a lobster-tail-shaped concoction filled with a rich yet light lemon-custard cream.
