Campo SS. Giovanni e Paolo

The pasticceria on Campo Santi Giovanni e Paolo stands in Castello, facing the Basilica and beside the Colleoni monument. It has a small room inside with seating and tables out on the campo, much appreciated on fine days.

Pastry has been made here for generations. It was formerly Pasticceria Fersuoch, run by the Fersuoch brothers, born into the trade, who lived on the floor above. In 1995 the business passed to a branch of the Rosa Salva family, which relied on the firm’s own production; in 2009 the shop was acquired and brought into the company.

Work has been kept light, improving the technology without altering the historic character of the place: the fittings are largely the original ones. The gelato counter from the previous management was kept, and in the meantime the range of artisan pastry and savouries has grown.

It is the only shop where we make artisan gelato — the one thing on our counter we cannot ship. Try the gelato coupes, the croccante basket, the hot chocolate with zaleti and the frozen zabaione with baicoli.
