Handcrafted Italian Favorites
At Emporio Rulli, fall is one of the most flavorful times of year. Our pastry cases and online shop are filled with handcrafted Italian favorites—each made using time-honored techniques and the finest ingredients. This season, we’re celebrating the return of Panettone Genovese, along with beloved classics like Pan dei Morti and Crostata di Zucca. Each dessert honors our commitment to authentic Italian pastry, handmade in Larkspur and inspired by the masters who taught us.

Panettone Genovese
The Panettone Genovese is a special treasure in our collection. Denser than the Milanese version, it’s filled with pine nuts, candied fruit, and raisins. This traditional recipe was passed down to Gary Rulli by Genoese Master Pastry Chef Stefano Mantero—and every loaf is baked without preservatives, honoring more than 30 years of craftsmanship. Gary recommends pairing it with a homemade zabaglione for a truly elegant Italian dessert experience.

Pan dei Morti
Our seasonal Pan dei Morti has also returned, bringing warmth and nostalgia to late fall. Soft, fragrant, and rich with almonds, raisins, and pine nuts, this classic pastry celebrates Italian All Souls’ Day traditions. Available in-store or as a six-piece tray for nationwide shipping, it’s the perfect sweet to share—or to savor with a cup of espresso.
Another highlight of the season is our Crostata di Zucca, an Italian-inspired take on pumpkin pie. We blend smooth Rulli pastry cream with pumpkin, a hint of amaretto, and warm spices, all baked into a delicate all-butter short-dough crust. Whether enjoyed at home or shared at your holiday table, it captures the cozy essence of fall.
