Lovely and welcoming staff. We ordered the most delicious pistachio and chocolate hazelnut filled cornettos and perfectly made espressos. Pausa deserves 5 STARS!
So very cute and GOLDEN inside! Fancy but not in a way that you need to dress up, more like an aesthetic kind of cuteness! Food was so flavorful and drinks were herbal like teas and lattes!
This is my favorite coffee shop/bakery in Norwalk. It’s as authentic as it gets. Only minor issue is that sometimes they close for almost a month at a time when the whole staff goes back to Italy and they only make hot lunch sandwiches on certain days… but they always have really good fresh baked sweets. Best place for dessert.

I'm definitely coming back with my friend who is of Italian descent. She would go nuts seeing all the goodies, sweets, spreads, sauces and …
