Tony’s Pizzeria: Cozy Vibes and Gluten-Free Goodness

Tony’s Pizzeria is located a stone’s throw from Triumphpforte and just a short walk from the old town. It serves traditional and innovative pizzas, and a gluten-free base is available.

In addition to pizzas, the menu includes a variety of pastas and secondi dishes, offering something for everyone.

The decor strikes a balance between rustic charm and modern touches, with an open kitchen that adds a lively, inviting atmosphere. The staff were really friendly and welcoming.

I ordered a gluten-free Margherita pizza. The sauce was flavorful and fresh, and the mozzarella was light and creamy. The base was chewy and slightly dense, but had a satisfying crusty edge that gave it a nice texture.

Overall, Tony’s is a cozy and delicious stop for pizza lovers—especially if you’re exploring the area around the old town.

Pistachio Delights and Matcha Moments

Karaffu is a charming café known for its delectable pistachio pastries and cakes. The space is cozy yet compact, with a few small tables inside that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. For those who enjoy a scenic setting, two window seats outside offer a stunning view of the mountains, making it a perfect spot to relax with a coffee and pastry.

Given its popularity, Karaffu can get quite busy, so timing your visit wisely is key. I visited twice—once in the afternoon and once in the morning around 11 a.m. In the afternoon, the café was bustling with a line of customers, making it harder to find a seat. However, my morning visit was much more relaxed, with some seats available and a quieter ambiance, which made for a more enjoyable experience.

I ordered an oat milk matcha latte and a pistachio loaf. The matcha had a pleasant flavor, though I personally prefer a stronger matcha taste. The pistachio loaf itself was mildly sweet with a slightly dry texture, but the pistachio frosting truly tied it all together, adding a rich nuttiness and just the right amount of sweetness.

One of my favorite parts of the visit was sitting outside at the window seat, sipping my drink, and taking in the breathtaking mountain view. Whether you’re a fan of pistachio treats or simply looking for a cozy café with a beautiful backdrop, Karaffu is well worth a visit.
