An Authentic Italian Desserts Menu from Maremma, Italy

Classic Italian Desserts: Biscotti al Cioccolato con Crema di Mascarpone al Caffe' e Semifreddo ai Frutti di Bosco

As with most restaurant dessert menus in Italy, this classic Italian desserts menu features the traditional Italian "Tiramisu", a variety of ice-creams (it is Italy!), sorbets and fresh fruit, plus a few home-cooked creamy and sweet puddings.

 

It is from one of my favourite restaurants in the seaside resort of Follonica: "La Lanternina 2 Palmieri Ristorante and Pizzeria".

If you would like to see the whole of the La Lanternina 2 Palmieri Ristorante menu, this Italian Restaurant Menu link will take you there. And this one - Restaurants Follonica - is the page where you can read my review of the restaurant.

The dessert in the photograph above by checcastef is one of her creations: "Biscotti al Cioccolato con Crema di Mascarpone al Caffe' e Semifreddo ai Frutti di Bosco" - chocolate biscuits with a Marscapone cheese and coffee cream and a soft ice-cream with fruits of the forest. I just love her photographs of food.
