snapshots of my travels |
Le Levain is a French bakery in Trastevere which serves all kinds of French delicacies from macarons and eclairs to Sablè Bretons and Croque Monseiurs.
The place is run by a chef from Puglia named Giuseppe Solfrizzi. He was inspired by French pastries and Belgian chocolates and felt a desire to open his own shop.
Upon entry, the aroma of fresh baked bread, butter, and the sweet smell of pastries engulfs you. It is warm and welcoming and always invites me to stay inside for a cup of coffee.
The prices aren't bad. Sure, each pastry is maybe twenty cents more expensive than the average bakery, but the quality of the food is much higher. I stop by here on my way to class about once a week. It has become one of my absolute favorites in Rome!

What a great find! Yes, it was a stark difference from France to Italy when it came to finding baked goods. I would forego the stale Italian snacks in a heartbeat.

My mouth is watering just reading this. Two things I love are French baked goods and Italy. This is definitely going on my bucket list

OMG I can practically smell the aroma through these pictures. It reminds me of a few bakeries I used to go to in Chicago. Unfortunately, I live in a tiny town in SC now and my only bakery is attached to the small grocery store. Thanks for the trip.

This looks like a delicious place to stop in for a treat! But then I'd stop in anywhere for an eclair - I love them!
