The art of confectionery in Florence
Florence's Antica Pasticceria Sieni is rooted in a confectionery heritage that extends far beyond the city's temporal boundaries. With origins dating back to the Etruscans, Tuscany's confectionery tradition is a fascinating mosaic of flavors and ingredients, where honey and fruit are transformed into delicacies like the historic "Stiacciata con l'uva." This passion for sweetness found a new expression in the early 1900s, when Vittorio Sieni, with his innovative vision and artistic talent, opened his shop on Via S. Antonino. His dedication to the art of pastry making led him to create desserts that would become iconic, not only for Florence, but for the entire Italian tradition.

Among his most celebrated creations are the Fedora, a dessert that embodies the sophistication of the 1930s, and the Zuccotto, created specifically for the renowned Zocchi Restaurant in Pratolino. These desserts, along with the Torta della Nonna and the Amor di Polenta, represent a sensory journey that blends the highest quality ingredients with recipes passed down through generations. Every bite tells a story, every dessert a work of art that celebrates Tuscan tradition, with an eye for innovation.

Today, Antica Pasticceria Sieni continues to honor Vittorio's legacy, keeping tradition alive through a selection of specialties that delight the palate and the eye. Meticulous attention to ingredient selection, combined with absolute respect for the original recipes, allows for masterpieces such as Millefoglie, Croccante, and Brutti e Boni. Tuscan holidays wouldn't be complete without Panforte and Torrone, while the Cioccolateria Artistica stands out for its quality and creativity. In every Sieni dessert, you'll find not only flavor, but also the story of a passion that lives on in the heart of Florence.
