At Pasticceria Rebecca, the croissant al cioccolato earns rapturous praise for its flaky, chocolate-laden perfection. The overall vibe is one of cozy, indulgent warmth that feels like a true Italian pastry haven.
“We're at Pasticceria Rebecca, which personally attracted me because there were wonderful croissants, one with chocolate and one with vanilla custard. The dough is already very good. Now I have to catch the filling too. It's delicious. This classic is without butter and with a vanilla custard without lactose. The puff pastry is good as if there were butter. How do they do it? Magic.”

Mignon Colazione Genovese
It seems that for the third consecutive day we're not having breakfast with Genoese focaccia and cappuccino, but today we do it with a modern twist because here at Pasticceria Rebecca they invented the single-portion mignon of the Genoese breakfast: Genoese focaccia base, salty with oil, salt, and all the color, and a cream of milk, coffee, in short, cappuccino. The idea is very cool, the execution even better. In the mouth the taste is exactly that of cappuccino with Genoese focaccia. Genoese focaccia that maintains its crunchy consistency. It tastes of milk, tastes of coffee, the hint of oil, hint of salt, Genoese breakfast, just the portion.
Maritozzo con Panna e Crema di Pistacchio
I went to film the counter and there were maritozzi. And what does one do? Doesn't one take a maritozzo? For the other I want to point out that the croissant I took was lactose-free because I said this morning let's be precise, and instead maritozzo with cream. There's also a pistachio heart. I forgot to tell you. A lady cream, one of those creams you remember for life. The pistachio cream, even if you put it on the paper napkins we're using, would be good. The maritozzo, now I'll tell you why so far I haven't eaten the cream: a cloud. Even in Rome it's difficult to find maritozzi this good. You got it, Rebecca? And Rebecca also goes into the list of places we recommend. Absolutely, absolutely yes. For everything you saw, we spent €17.50.
