Bar Pasticceria Pina
"BAR PASTICCERIA PINA" is a true institution in Castiglione del Genovesi, serving the local community for 30 years. The bakery is renowned for its production of dry sweets made from chestnuts and hazelnuts harvested from the surrounding forests.
Behind the delicious creations is Mrs. Pina, owner of the establishment. Every year during the Christmas season, the place becomes even more special, thanks to the delicious "pastarelle" and the traditional "castagnaccio" made with chestnut chocolate. However, the real magic takes place all year round, with extraordinary creativity and delicacy in the confectionery production related to the fruits of the forest.
Among the dishes you will find on their platters are hazelnut and chestnut cake whipped with ricotta cheese, seasonal fruit tarts, dry biscuits and biscuits with cream.
The restaurant is centrally located, right on the main square of the hamlet.
Its terrace offers a panoramic view of the sea, making it an essential stop for anyone visiting Castiglione del Genovesi. Many visitors from other places come specifically to enjoy the delicacies offered by the 'BAR PASTICCERIA PINA', especially during the warm summer evenings, when it is possible to enjoy the pleasant coolness compared to the city.
However, as the terrace is in great demand, it is strongly recommended to book in advance to secure a table.
Today, Pina carries on the tradition supported by her son Angelo, who with his friendliness and sympathy has won over many customers, as the many positive reviews show.
