WHERE TO EAT The best Bomboloni in the world (according to food experts)

"At Florence’s Cucciolo Bar & Pasticceria, freshly baked bomboloni appear continuously throughout the day like so many pilgrims to the Church of San Marco. Go in peace."

"You can enjoy an excellent cappuccino and maybe a delicious hot bombolone with cream, soft and light."

"Natural leavening, their own production, freshly filled according to your taste: these are the tricks up their sleeve that make cornetti and bomboloni of Elisa and Roberta the best ones on Piazza in Florence."

"For dessert, you can never go wrong with Italian donuts, especially these, which arrived almost too hot to handle, and flavored with banana. Dip them with abandon into chocolate-hazelnut and lemon cream sauces for a real treat."

"We went back every day for espresso and the addictive, single-bite bombolini alla crema (sweet Italian doughnuts filled with a bit of cream)."

"At 4:30am fresh from the oven bomboloni caldi (small, hot donuts) are available. They are light and fluffy yet cream filled goodness all at the same time. Absolutely the best in town!"

"This pasticceria's bomboloni [doughnuts] are incredible."
