Bombolini
These are little donuts made from flour, sugar, eggs, butter, creme fraiche, whole milk, black pepper, and yeast. They are fried to order and tossed with a citrus sugar (orange zest, grapefruit zest, sugar). Served in a caste iron skillet with a brown butter caramel sauce for dipping (sugar, water, brown butter, creme fraiche).
Chocolate Torta
This is a gluten free chocolate cake made from (chocolate, butter, vanilla, salt, sugar, eggs and aperol). It is made light and fluffy by whipping the egg whites into a meringue and then folding them into the chocolate mixture. Baked in small mason jars, they're cut in half to order and 'filled' with a ricotta crema (ricotta, egg yolks, sugar, cinnamon, whipped cream), and candied pine nuts.
Affogato Ventuno
This is a cross between a dessert and a cocktail and is an homage to the classic affogato (espresso, and ice cream). Affogato is Italian for drowned. We're replacing the espresso with a house espresso liqueur (sambuca, braulio, coffee), and pouring it over top of an amaretti cookie ice cream (amaretti cookies, cream, sugar, egg yolks). Amaretti are cookies made from either almonds or apricot kernels, sugar, and egg whites. We're using ones made from apricot kernels which are therefore nut free. Apricot kernels do contain trace amounts of cyanide, but they're completely safe to eat. Some pregnant women avoid them, however these same pregnant women should be avoiding alcohol so no issues there. The plate is comes with a hazelnut and apricot biscotti (flour, sugar, eggs, hazelnuts, lemon zest, apricots, and grains of paradise).
