Torta della Nonna is a dessert that evokes childhood memories and the scents of home. A classic of Italian pastry making, apparently simple in its composition, but which requires careful preparation and a skillful combination of ingredients. At Ristorante Sabatini, Torta della Nonna is prepared following tradition, with a touch of mastery that makes it unique and unforgettable.
The origins of Torta della Nonna are lost in Tuscan tradition, more precisely Florentine. It is said that it was born by chance, from the mistake of a pastry chef who, in an attempt to prepare a tart, obtained an even more delicious result. Since then, this dessert has become a symbol of Italian home cooking, loved by adults and children alike.
At Ristorante Sabatini, Torta della Nonna is much more than a simple dessert: it is an experience that takes you back in time. Our recipe includes the use of fresh and high-quality ingredients, to guarantee an authentic and genuine flavor. The shortcrust pastry is strictly homemade with fresh butter, flour, selected eggs and a pinch of lemon zest to flavour the dough. The pastry is then kneaded by hand to obtain a crumbly consistency and an unmistakable flavour. The custard, the heart of the cake, is prepared with fresh whole milk, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla, following a traditional recipe that makes it incredibly velvety and fragrant.
A generous sprinkling of pine nuts and toasted almonds completes the dessert, adding a crunchy and aromatic note. Each cake is prepared with care and passion by our pastry chefs, so that enjoying our Torta della Nonna means immersing yourself in a taste experience that evokes memories and traditions.
