Zio Rocco Lab Store - POMIGLIANO D'ARCO

As a baker and pastry chef myself, I have watched Zio Rocco’s stories every day and waited to have the opportunity to try his cornetti and brioche pandoro. Finally the time came for a trip to Naples… I was so excited! But my partner and I were completely disappointed. We took eight items in total, wanting to try a bit of everything, including of course the ischitano, brioche pandoro and the weekly special. The cornetti were clearly well made in terms of lamination and proofing but ultimately lacking in flavour and had a dry, chewy texture. The famous pandoro brioche definitely did not live up to its reputation as the softest you can eat. The creams, of which we tried quite a few, were overly sweet and rather tasteless. For example, the creams in the special L’Italiano cornetto were supposed to be: Tiramisu (fresh cream and mascarpone) and salted caramel. Let’s just say these flavours could not be tasted at all just a generic sweet cream. The Buffalo cream also had an unpleasant starchy taste and texture. As a pastry fanatic who was sincerely excited to try the products here (and first in line that evening), I was super disappointed.

Unico, inimitabile. Quando vai da zio Rocco non vai per mangiare un semplice cornetto, ma vai per mangiare IL CORNETTO . Dietro ad ogni singolo prodotto ce passione, lavoro, studio e voglia di esprimere la vera arte del cornetto ischitano. Per non parlare dei fuori menù, come ad esempio per chi come me ha avuto la fortuna di assaggiare in anteprima il Natalone pop può confermarmi che e una vera bomba di sapori che ti esplode in bocca sin dal primo morso. Il connubio perfetto tra dolce e salato. Semplicemente quando ti trovi a Pomigliano D'Arco e hai voglia di dolce Zio Rocco e l'unico posto che può veramente saziare questa voglia. Unico!!!

Ottimi prodotti il mio preferito l’ischitano da mangiare e rimangiare poi con l’apertura del labstore a via arenaccia veramente comodo lo consiglio

Molto buoni croissant ma ultimamente sta inserendo meno riempimento. Suggerisco di mettere un po' di più.
