7Maritozzo con la Panna
Perhaps Rome’s most iconic dessert is the maritozzo, a soft, sweet brioche bun generously filled with freshly whipped cream.
Originally enjoyed as a breakfast pastry or special holiday treat, the maritozzo dates back centuries and has experienced a remarkable revival in recent years. Modern bakeries now offer both traditional and innovative versions featuring pistachio cream, chocolate, coffee, or even savory fillings.
Despite these creative twists, the classic whipped cream maritozzo remains one of the city’s sweetest traditions and a favorite among both locals and visitors.
