This is just a little bakery that really knows what they're doing! We went specifically for the ricotta and sour cherry tart and it was so worth seeking out. I read some bad reviews on Trip Advisor that specifically called out rude service but these bakers are not here to schmooze and give you attention. They are doing their job! I pointed to what we wanted and indicated how many slices, we paid, she handed me our tart on napkins and we took it to go. Simple as that!
It was SO GOOD! Absolutely loaded with the creamiest ricotta that balances out the sweet cherry filling just perfectly. My favorite part was that back end that's crusty heavy with just a bit of the cherry and ricotta. -

We came to this bakery located in the Roman Jewish ghetto specifically to get the ricotta and sour cherry tart. We had seen the pictures online and thought it looked amazing so we had to try it.
OMG this tart was everything we had imagined and more! It was absolutely delicious. The creaminess of the ricotta balanced out the tartness and sweetness of the cherries, and the crust was pure perfection. I wish I had gotten my own slice instead of sharing it with my husband, lol!
The ladies at the bakery were so nice and although they didn't speak much English, it was enough to understand and they worked with my broken Italian.
We also ended up getting another pastry that was recommended by one of them as being something we could only taste here in Rome. Of course we had to oblige and we didn't regret it. This second pastry had almonds and dried fruit, had a harder and crunchier consistency and it was baked to almost charred, especially at the edges. It reportedly has Roman-Hebrew roots (called pizza Ebraica) and while the ricotta tart couldn't be outdone, this pastry was still very tasty.
