My favorite. My mom got me hooked on these. Just had one a few days ago at the Italian market and cafe. My mom taught me to say it like this…sss-fig-a-del’. Every Italian baker has known what I’m asking for. Love them.
The beginning is a f-plus-hiss-O and the glia is “yah” and the end is not hard but in real Italian you pronounce BOTH l’s with a tiny pause between them. As noted above, “del’ is the colloquial version. Yummy too.
I remember having this in Italy. Our guide disappeared for half an hour and came back with enough for everyone. Sooo delicious. I guess it’s pronounced like tagliatelle but with a sfo instead of the ta.
Yes, I think that’s the right way, like tagliatelle. It’s actually fun to pronounce and you feel so proud when you get it right at the bakery. I used to get them at Ferrara’s in Little Italy in NYC.
Sweet ricotta custard inside the flaky crust.
I can’t pronounce it but I could definitely eat it!
Looks good, with it’s big name!
Who needs to say it – just enjoy it!

Wouldn’t even attempt to say…just point and open mouth 🙂

Thanks Sylvia. I know they were wonderful!
I’ll take the whole tray – wrap it up!!! 🙂
Just wishing it was inside me. Looks mouth-wateringly good.
It’s name wouldn’t matter once I’d wrapped myself around it!
I have never heard of these before – but they look delish!
