Mitì Vigliero

"First baci di dama, born in 1893 in the award-winning pasticceria Zanotti in Tortona; for more than a century they kept the same shape and composition: two semi spheres made from almonds, sugar, butter and flour that embrace a disk of dark chocolate and, one curiosity, the true baci di Tortona must weigh exactly 11 grams."

Theresa Murphy

"It was in 1893, behind the façade of the Pasticceria Zanotti in Tortona, a city in Italy’s Piemonte region, that these baci came into being; and their original form — 2 semi-spheres (or lips) united by a dollop of melted dark chocolate — has been faithfully kept to this day."

Dolciaria Padova

"Pasticceria Zanotti is located in Tortona, in the province of Alessandria and for generations it has been delighting us with the original baci di dama."

Manuela Colagiovanni

"There is no sweet more romantic and sensual than baci di dama: a layer of chocolate hugged by two crumbly buttery biscuits, made even more delicious due to the sweet pastry with the hazelnuts."

Corso 101

"The pasticceria Zanotti from Tortona has been keeping the same form and the same composition of mythical baci di dama for over a century now, made from two hemisphere-shaped cookies with almond united by a layer of dark chocolate, just like two lips united in a kiss."
