Located under the ancient porticoes of Castel Bolognese, Pasticceria del Portico is the realm of master pastry chef Mirko, who has been transforming premium ingredients into confectionery masterpieces since the 1990s.
The shop’s philosophy is rooted in meticulous sourcing: from specially selected French chocolate and natural sourdough starter to fruit candied in-house through a slow fifteen-day process.
Renowned for its traditional holiday leavened cakes (panettoni and colombe) and delicate pastries, it offers a refined experience ranging from signature breakfasts to gourmet aperitifs. With its exclusive catering service, the bakery brings its craftsmanship to events and ceremonies, standing as a landmark for artisanal excellence.
