Pasticceria Dal Mas

Venice


This historic Venetian bakery-cafe sparkles with mirrors, marble and metal trim, fitting for the pastries displayed within. Despite the perpetual morning crush, the efficient team dispenses top-notch coffee and cornetti (Italian-style croissants) with admirable equanimity. Come mid-morning for mouthwatering, still-warm quiches. The hot chocolate is also exceptional – hardly surprising given the sibling chocolate shop next door.
