Le Frappe al Cartoccio sono l’ultima novità della nostra pasticceria!
We thought of transforming the typical sweets of the Carnival tradition into a delicious street food dish to be consumed at any time of the day, even while you are walking in the nearby streets of San Giovanni or in front of the Basilica of Santa Croce, a stone's throw from our restaurant.

Frappe have a very ancient origin which seems to date back to ancient Rome where, during thesaturnalia,frictilia, strips of pasta fried in lard, very similar to modern frappe. Over the course of history, this simple and delicious dessert has undergone many changes, not only in the ingredients or manufacturing process, but also and above all in the name.
Cenci, chiacchiere, bugie, sfrappole…sono solo alcuni dei nomi con cui conosciamo questo dolce tipico e spesso la sua denominazione dipende dalla regione italiana in cui ci troviamo! Basti pensare che al sud più frequente chiamarle chiacchiere, mentre al nord l’appellativo più usato è bugie.
In Rome we know, these strips of fried dough, crunchy and delicious, are called Frappe!
How did the idea of making Frappe al Cartoccio come about?
We were inspired by the Neapolitan cuoppo di fritti, a paper cone containing many delicacies, from mixed fried foods to fried fish. It is a type of product that is consumed quickly, perhaps while walking, and has always been combined with traditional frying dishes. Since frappe are also a fried and super crunchy dessert, why not make them in street food format?
And here the Frappe al Cartoccio have come to life in our laboratory!
But we are not satisfied with so little, this dish had to be a real delight, both for the eyes and the palate! So we decided to enrich it with a pour of chocolate, pistachio or honey cream with a dried fruit topping of your choice (hazelnuts, almonds, pistachio...)
We are sure that you cannot resist a such temptation!
