Good "turrón" in the North End?

  1. It's called Torroni in Italian and Modern is the place to buy it. Also can find it at Dairy Fresh Candies.

    1. I've also seen it spelled Torrone.

      1. Bob, I think you are right. Torrone is the correct spelling.

        1. Now that I see it written, I do recall seeing "Torrone". Thanks, y'all.

          Where is Dairy Fresh Candies?

            On Salem Street just off of Cross Street (next to Neptune Oysters)

              Woah, alca ... you've walked past it a gazillion times, I'm sure. I find it creepy that I know where a candy store is before YOU do.....

                Dairy Fresh is the place to go for many sweet and savory items, but Modern Pastry is THE place for Torrone! In fact, it's so good that even Italians take it back to Italy with them.

              2. I don't really have a big sweet tooth. :-[

                Across from Neptune's... how convenient. ;-)

                  Actually, next door, way too convenient! I buy Christmas candies and fresh nuts at Dairy Fresh, but I still think the Torrone at Modern is better.
