Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and we’re fairly certain most people will be getting their hands on gifts like flowers, chocolates, or stuffed animals to impress their partners. But, if you’re looking to impress your S.O. with a huge romantic gesture, we reckon Pane e Latte’s massive pastry will do the trick. In the spirit of the upcoming romantic day, this casual Italian restaurant has created a giant raspberry pain au chocolat and cappuccino set ($198).
Available throughout February, this hefty treat has a flaky crust and a raspberry and chocolate filling. What’s more, the pain au chocolate is approximately the size of two adult heads, so you’d better invite a few friends to help you demolish this behemoth of a baked good. And that’s not all. Pane e Latte will release a new pastry and cappuccino set each month, so stay tuned to their Instagram to be the first to find out what they’ve got in store.
If you can’t hack this giant pastry and want something more manageable, the restaurant is also releasing regular-sized treats each month. This February, diners at Pane e Latte can sink their teeth into a Very Berry croissant filled with cream as well as a cookies & cream latte (each $58, $98 for both). Additionally, they’ve also whipped up other V-Day-related treats like heart-shaped bombolinis ($48) and a delightfully sweet strawberry latte ($58), exclusively available from now until February 16.
