Ciao! I am Dani and CIAOBELLAKITCHEN is my fully licensed micro home bakery in Seattle! I am Italian, from Rome and my family is half from Naples, and half from Palermo. It means that everything I bake tastes like the South of Italy. I am committed to use only quality
CIAO, SOMETHING NEW IS COMING:
You might have noticed that some of my recipes are not showing up. That’s because they have been copied and used without mentioning me or my site. This is a food-blog without ads per my choice, this means that I get 0$ and still requires a lot of work. And
How to Make Italian Zeppole for Saint Joseph. Baked Version.
This is the recipe for traditional Zeppole di San Giuseppe. I would have never imagined publishing a post from my self-quarantine. I am trying to remind myself (and you all) to breathe through all of the anxiety and uncertainty. It’s scary. And we’re going to get to through it together.
Pink Pancakes Cake
Valentine’s Day Breakfast Pink Pancakes Sometimes Love is not perfect. Like these Pink Pancakes. I wanted to make them a Pinterest kind, but they came out crooked, burned somewhere, and falling apart. Exactly like Love. But this is only the outside. The inside is sweet, floral, and light.

How to make easy Italian Peaches Cookies filled with pastry cream and chocolate. Le Pesche Dolci
The story behind the Peaches Cookies. I grew up in a family from the South of Italy, with Zia Lavinia calling Italy the “mainland” like Hawaiians call Usa (unless it’s 2500 miles far away). She had slightly rigid traditional menus for holiday, and not one recipe was written down (this thing has
Classic Italian Tiramisù
How many Tiramisù an Italian eats in her whole life? I tried to make up a number thinking that I eat at least 10 Tiramisù a year between parties, eating out and un-birthday celebrations. The number is around 350 (I think I ate way more, but I feel shy today).
How to make the Tarallucci al Vino. Italian Sweet Wine Taralli.
A great Roman classic. Tarallucci is a traditional crunchy cookie from the Castelli Romani area (the Roman countryside) where every fraschetta – a cheap genuine rustic roman tavern – serves them at the end of the meal to be dunked into wine. They are also common in the rest of Italy with
Yuzu Hot Sauce Pound Cake
This Yuzu Hot Sauce Pound Cake will drive you into an “acid” trip and blow up your taste buds. It’s pretty common here in Us to find baked goods with lemon and poppy seeds, and I am a sucker for this combo. But I also love experimenting. So when I
Poetically Pudding. Sicilian Watermelon Pudding
Gelo di Mellone Watermelon pudding is a name that doesn’t do justice to this delicate and refreshing Summer dessert. Because Gelo di Mellone is more than a pudding, it’s a poem. What’s more poetical than a floral note given by jasmine blossom infused water? Or a pinch of cinnamon (freshly
Mini Pavlova. Berry Nice!
Meringue Extravaganza part 1 Mini Pavlova is essentially a hot date between a meringue and whipped cream. Take a crunchy but-light-as-cloud white shell, cover it with milky silky bubbles and give it a bite. You just tasted Nirvana. What can be a berry nice way to top Pavlova? (c’ mon
