Paolo from Cafe Catene in Fornoli has recently brought in a new pastry chef. The man is a genius!
As well as delicious pastries and cakes they do excellent sandwiches.
Make sure you drop in to say hello…and sample some of the delights…the coffee is good too.
Bella Bagni di Lucca 
I second this , excellent place for a quick refuel
Paolo is a delightful man, and the pastries are divine…2 good reasons to go.
It looks yummy!,,
We will meet there one day soon. You will be impressed.
I have had the pleasure of coffee, pastries and sandwiches from Paulo’s and yes his new pastry chef is wonderful. Both Paulo and Janyema are also wonderful hosts who run a very welcoming Caffè.
You are correct Janyema and Paolo are both excellent hosts. Everyone is made very welcome.
Oh …yum! One day I shal drop in.
You should.
Cannot wait to return and try the pastries. I would love to learn how to make the local pastrie with Riso which are my favourite. Yum Yum
Oh surely this is pastry porn, Debra, as I found myself imagining the taste of each one as I scrolled 🙂 Beautiful!
What a delightful pastry selection. Looks very yummy!
