Viale Europa, 20 Roma
Opening hours: 7:00 – 21:00
Note: coffee is here more expensive than usual
The pastry shop has been baking cakes for the Romans since 1951. According to legend, Queen Elizabeth had Cavalletti’s Millefoglie sent to Buckingham Palace every year.
The cake is prepared daily with quality ingredients. Although the secret to the goodness of this Millefeuille has yet to be revealed, the only thing that is certain is that the recipe remains that of Sergio Cavalletti’s recipe from many years ago.
Although it is a typical French dessert, the Napoleon cake (it is also called this) is very popular in Italy and Rome. It is the contrast between the crunchy puff pastry and the delicate Chantilly or pastry cream that makes our taste buds go crazy.

Chiesa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo
Piazzale dei Santi Pietro e Paolo, 8, 00144 Rome, Italy
The design of the church, built on the highest point of the district, where it is believed an oratory of the Archconfraternity of the Pilgrims dedicated to the two apostles stood, was entrusted to the architects Arnaldo Foschini, Alfredo Energici, Vittorio Grassi, Nello Ena, Tullio Rossi and Costantino Vetriani. The project was approved in September 1938 and work began in April 1939.
During the Second World War, work slowed down until it was suspended after a bombing that affected some structures in 1943. Work on the building resumed in 1953 and it was discovered that large quantities of construction material had been stolen from the building site.
Opened for worship in July 1955, the church received the dignity of parish in December 1958 and the title of cardinal on 5 February 1965. In June 1966, the church was dedicated by the titular cardinal Franjo Šeper and the following year elevated to the dignity of a minor basilica.
