CannoliCrisp fried pastry tubes piped with sweetened ricotta cream, often studded with chocolate chips and finished with pistachio or candied orange at the ends.
SfogliatelleShell-shaped Neapolitan pastry with dozens of crackling, flaky layers wrapped around a semolina and ricotta filling scented with orange peel and cinnamon.

Cookies

AmarettiCrackly-topped almond macaroons with a bittersweet apricot-kernel aroma, chewy inside and dusted with powdered sugar.
Sesame Seed Cookies (Reginelle)Sicilian finger cookies rolled in toasted sesame seeds, with a crumbly, lightly sweet interior and nutty, toasty exterior.
Butter CookiesPiped spritz-style rings and swirls, some dipped in chocolate or sprinkles, with a crisp bite and a rich vanilla butter flavor.
StruffoliTiny fried dough balls tossed in warm honey and piled into a mound, decorated with nonpareils and candied fruit for Christmas.

Breads

GrissiniHand-stretched breadsticks, thin and brittle, sometimes rolled in sesame or flecked with rosemary, served alongside antipasto.
Italian Bread with SesameLong loaf with a crackling seeded crust and a soft, open crumb; a staple for sandwiches, garlic bread and sopping up sauce.
Semolina BreadGolden durum wheat loaf with a slightly sweet, nutty taste and a tight, buttery-yellow crumb, often topped with sesame.
FocacciaThick, olive oil-rich flatbread dimpled by hand and topped with rosemary and sea salt, crisp on the bottom and pillowy above.
