Pasticciotti. A delicate package of warm custard encrusted in sweet dough. A pastry I haven’t devoured since Puglia. Everyone on that trip had sparkles in their eyes at the very sight of them. And for someone like myself who doesn’t choose custard for dessert, this isn’t one to pass up.

La Cometa bakery was the after school pit stop in Ugento, Puglia. But I took my adventure there on the weekend if I was staying local. It was probably one of the best spots to venture in such a quiet town.
