Book your stay in Lucca
There is a new phenomenon in the city. Just outside the walls of Lucca, the pastry art of Atelier Damiano Carrara is conquering everyone's palate.
One more reason to book a stay at Hotel Ilaria, visit the historic center and be seduced by the sweets of the well-known television face.
A new experience of pastry art
Aesthetics, design and taste are three elements that bind each delicacy of the Atelier, which has now become famous throughout Italy.
The pastry shop boasts collaborations with small artisan realities, which supply products at km 0 and of the highest quality.
At the heart of the philosophy of the founder Damiano Carrara is the search for food inclusiveness. All recipes are gluten-free and lactose-free. All production uses rice flour, rice or corn starch.
The line of desserts includes baked cakes and fresh cakes, pralines, single-portion desserts, dragees and spreads (hazelnut, pistachio and almond flavors). For chocolate lovers, exquisite bars (70% dark, Papua New Guinea Latte 204 and White 211) are on sale. The rich offer is completed by jams (with figs and peaches snacks and pink pepper) and jams (with apricot, vanilla, lemon and turmeric flavor). The spearhead of the business is a special fragrance, created by Carrara himself, with vanilla extracts and cinnamon flowers.
The open laboratory intrigues passers-by, who more and more stop to admire the staff intent on preparing desserts.
A few days ago the Atelier also inaugurated an outdoor space and a cafeteria service. Not only that: now you can also enjoy ice cream, Damiano's new artistic expression, always in the name of food inclusiveness.
Return to Lucca in the name of excellence
A dream come true for the famous pastry-chef of both worlds. After opening three businesses in California and becoming a successful face of Discovery TV shows, Carrara decided to return to his hometown by opening his first atelier.
A return home, in the sign of love to the place where it all began and where Damiano found his roots. In short, a return dedicated to enthusiasm and passion.
The pastry shop immediately conquered everyone. A few days after the opening, which took place last October, the front rows were already forming to wait for their turn to enter to taste the goodness of the Atelier.
The unmissable appointment with sweets and delicacies is set in Lucca, in via Matteo Civitali 559.
Stay at the Hotel Ilaria in the name of good taste: enjoy the breakfasts in the hotel of the starred chefs and let yourself be conquered by the desserts of Damiano Carrara.
