If you've never been to Romolo's in San Mateo, it's worth the trip. Their spumoni is delicious, and it looks like they just made a batch of tiramisu ice cream. Yum!

Angela and Augustine from La Biscotteria in Redwood City are offering pastiera again for Easter. "La Pastiera is a delicious ricotta cheese and grain pie, a very old Neapolitan specialty for the Easter season. It is made from a recipe which has two particular ingredients, making it unique: moisture taken from the orange tree blossom (al...so known to the Italians as "acqua di arance" or "fior di arance") and cooked wheat. This classic Neapolitan pastry has a sweet crust ("pasta frolla") filled with ricotta, candied fruit, pastry cream and cooked wheat berries, and is scented with orange flower water." My family had it last Easter, and we enjoyed it very much. You can buy one (or any of their other delicious treats) here: http://www.labiscotteria.com/

Traditional Italian bakery specializing in wholesale and retail sales of authentic Italian baked goods including biscotti, biscottini and panettone, shipped nationwide from Redwood City, California.
