The "La Bomboniera" pastry shop was founded by a Jewish family. Since 2019, it has been owned by the Faggiotto family, master chocolatiers renowned throughout Italy.

In the beginning, confectionery and pastries were made, and subsequently, only Austro-Hungarian pastries, enriched by the craftsmanship and professionalism of a Hungarian pastry chef, called especially from Budapest.

This continued until the Second World War, when the Jewish owners were forced to emigrate, and the shop was left in the hands of the Hungarian pastry chef. The Hungarians, father and then son, carried on the tradition until the year 2000.

Today, nothing seems to have changed: from the wood oven, a unique characteristic of Italian pastry shops, to the recipes and the atmosphere. Time seems to have stopped here, offering those who take a walk through the streets of Trieste a taste of eighteenth-century atmosphere both for the gaze and the palate.

Rigojancsi, Dobos, Lettere d’amore, Prenitz, Putizza, and Pinza, are all familiar names in Trieste homes, where memories of important moments linked to these delicacies are jealously kept and remembered with love: a birth, a birthday, a wedding, a simple Sunday walk.

The Bomboniera is among the most beautiful pastry shops in Italy. It is history with a capital H.

The most successful union was that between the tradition of La Bomboniera and the pastry shop Peratoner. Hard work and passion were shown in the ancient splendour where the Austro-Hungarian and Trieste history gave life to the uniqueness of centenary recipes.

The Faggiotto family is now the owner of the La Bomboniera pastry shop, confectioners, and chocolatiers of international fame honoured to carry on the tradition of Trieste.

La Bomboniera is more than a pastry shop, it is a childhood memory, tradition, family...Trieste!
