Trust me, I used to be a chocolatier and baker.
Just another run of the mill Italian bakery shop filled with hundreds of colorful cookies with the same ammareto flavor and nondescript "pastry" items none of which stand out on their merit.
Their chocolate mouse "pastries" are just junky, over sweetened, artificial tasting filling enrobed in a thick gooey "chocolate" skin that tastes like fondant. No real quality ingredients...if you mix quality molten chocolate with whipped cream you will know what real mousse or ganache tastes like.
Inside tastes like readi whip or frosting, mixed with amaretto essence and/or nutella. The raspberry chocolate mousse has no raspberry filling or mousse, just a dollop of jam decoration. Their case was full of all these fancy names giving the illusion you have so many choices, but they're all same with just slightly altered taste or decoration. The jam cookies were dry and crumbly.
Everything tastes like fridge smell...pastries and chocolate are notorious for absorbing other smells.
We ate 1 spoonful of each pastry and threw it in the bin knowing the clawing junkiness will not satisfy any human need.
And the girl who works there got chocolate grease all over the box without even noticing.
I got better chocolate or passion fruit mousse in ShopRite for half the price and astronomically more delicious French pastry for the same price in Princeton.
