Il Giardino dei Sapori Perduti
A timeless shop
Just a few steps from the ancient canal port and the Piazza delle Conserve in Cesenatico, there is a place that seems to preserve the aromas of kitchens from the past.
Il Il Giardino dei Sapori Perduti is a small shop that tells a story made of traditional recipes, simple ingredients, and patient gestures.
A place where flour, eggs, butter and sugar become fragrant biscuits, traditional homemade cakes, and desserts that recall those prepared by grandmothers.
Among shelves filled with biscuits, jars of jams, and the aromas of freshly baked goods, the shop welcomes everyone who enters with the same warmth and naturalness as a home.
Here, time slows down and every taste brings back the memory of authentic flavours, those that seemed forgotten but were actually just waiting to be rediscovered.
Delights for every taste
Sweets… and savories
Il Giardino dei Sapori Perduti is best known for its sweets: buttery biscuits, fruit and chocolate cakes, generous tarts, and pantry desserts made with seasonal ingredients and careful attention to quality.
But anyone who steps inside the shop soon discovers another surprise. Alongside the sweets, there is a selection of savories an ironic and affectionate name that tells the story of the venue’s Romagna soul.
Savoury pies, flatbreads, breads and stuffed pizzas prepared with local ingredients and Mediterranean aromas, created for those who love alternating between sweet and savoury or enjoying a genuine snack at any time of the day.
It is precisely this balance between tradition, creativity and simplicity that makes the Giardino dei Sapori Perduti a small point of reference for those looking for authentic flavours.
The pastry chef
The boy with the rolling pin
Behind the counter and oven of Il Giardino dei Sapori Perduti there is Paolo Alessandri, pastry chef and host, capable of transforming simple ingredients into desserts that remain in the memory.
With his ironic and welcoming personality, Paolo has built over the years a shop that is much more than a pastry store. It is a place where people come in to buy biscuits or a cake, but often stay a few minutes longer for a chat, a piece of advice or a taste.
Here, Romagna’s convivial spirit is part of the experience: a spontaneous warmth made of smiles, stories, and aromas drifting from the oven.
And it is precisely this spirit, together with the artisanal care devoted to every preparation, that makes the Giardino dei Sapori Perduti one of those places that, once discovered, you always want to return to.
There are places where simply opening the door makes you feel instantly at ease.
