Pasticceria Sandri
Sandri dal 1860
Founded in 1860, Perugia's oldest pastry shop is listed among Italy's historic establishments, featuring frescoes and wooden counters.
Located at Corso Vannucci 32, this is the oldest pastry shop in Perugia and is listed in the registry of historic Italian establishments. Founded by Swiss immigrants from the Engadin valley, it retains late 19th-century frescoes, inlaid wooden counters, and crystal chandeliers, and was reopened by local partners in late 2021. The signature is the Torcolo di San Costanzo, and they also sell torcione, chocolates, and Pompadour cream puffs. Standing at the bar for a coffee is the easiest option, though there is also a large outdoor seating area. Reviews of the coffee and pastries vary; the historic atmosphere is the main draw.
