Something tells me the weather tomorrow may be a little challenging. Perhaps it’s because NOAA is using the word BLIZZARD in its forecast. lol! We at L’Arte will remain open for as long as we can do so safely. Consider coming in today to stock up on goodies! #bakery #snowstorm
A great morning for a delicious frittata! Stop by L’Arte this morning and start the weekend right. #breakfast #frittata

Our “break the fast” Ramadan cookie trays contain Halal friendly treats. The cookies use fruits and nuts (pistachio, almonds, apricots, figs, lemon, orange) which were introduced into Sicily during the Arab period (827-1091). They are a great way to reward yourself for keeping the fast. #ramadan
We seasonally make our own high quality chocolate bar in the style of Cioccolato di Modica (PGI), which involves grinding cocoa and sugar together using a cold-processing method (around 45°C) that doesn't melt the sugar crystals, unlike modern chocolate. Try it! You will love it! #chocolate #modica
If you can’t get enough of pistachio we have the perfect pastry for you, Oro Verde. It’s made using Pistacchio di Bronte from Sicily, often referred to by experts as “green gold” and hence the name of our pastry! It’s a seasonal product at L’Arte so get them while you can.
Delicious Mpanatigghi cookies are back! Mpanatigghi posses a remarkable mix of flavors; the intense sweetness of Modica chocolate with savory beef! Yes Virginia, you heard right! A Sicilian meat cookie! The story of this treat is complex but we will explore it, in up coming posts! Buy one today!
Today is a one main meal kind of day. So I opted for the Carciofino panino. It’s delicious and filling; artichoke hearts, sautéed onions, crema di formaggio, our house-made tomato jam, castelvetrano olives, fontina cheese and arugula on a baguette. I recommend it so come in and treat yourself!
Ramadan Mubarak from your friends at L’Arte!
