San Giovanni & Testaccio

Named for the owner's beloved spaniel, French-inspired patisserie Charlotte bakes, caramelises and stacks edible wonders. Valrhona chocolate cake swirled on a biscuit base with raspberry filling, vanilla mousse with a cherry centre dipped in white chocolate, and robiola cheesecake topped with a tumble of berries are ultra-photogenic and make the case that room should always be saved for dessert.
