Cerasella: Italian Delights

"In Italy, 'we would call this a bar,' Caterina Pepe tells us. We're chatting inside Cerasella (pronounced 'Chair-ah-Sell-ah'), the small pasticceria e caffetteria she owns with her husband, Luca Schiano, not far from their home in Long Island City. In New York, of course, a bar is typically adults-only, and rarely known for its food. Using that name for Cerasella, Caterina adds, would lead New Yorkers astray — but happily so, once they found themselves in front of the pastry case." Shown here: an exquisite sfogliatella riccia made with Neapolitan semolina, Calabrian orange and Apulian buffalo ricotta, coupled with an espresso. Read more on Culinary Backstreets.
