What to Order
Cornetto Mandorla
This almond croissant alternative is generously filled with roasted almonds and boasts a perfectly flaky, not-too-sweet pastry.
"Being a big fan of Almond croissants for as long as I remember, I finally found something even better and can never go back now! Forno Cultura’s Cornetto Mandolra is packed with roasted Almond and the pastry is so flakey and most importantly, just enough sweetness that doesn’t leave you feeling guilty and heavy. It is definitely superior and I’ll ditch almond croissants for this anytime!"

Mortadella Sandwich
A well-crafted sandwich featuring mortadella, served on bread with a satisfying crunch and rich flavor.
"Ok, so I just finished my sandwich and damn, it’s really good. I had the Mortadella and the bread has a nice crunch and flavour."
