Via Quadronno's Tiramisu

This Tiramisu needs no introduction as it is the signature dessert at Via Quadronno in New York.  I love all the food here from the panini's to the pasta, but without fail, lunch or dinner, the Tiramisu calls.  It's perfectly fluffy, creamy and sweet.  There's no real way to describe it other than amazing. 

Tiramisu di San Dona

Via Quadronno is one of my favorite NY lunch spots because I love their paninis, but after all these years I finally tried this Deconstructed Tiramisu, one of their specialties. The lady fingers are served with a bowl of mascarpone pudding topped with cocoa powder (on the left) and a bowl of warm espresso (on the right). It was so fun to dip and portion out each bite. Obviously once the lady fingers were gone I finished the pudding with a spoon. Incredible.

Bottega Louie

A friend brought some treats back from Bottega Louie that were all so amazing! This was a Tiramisu, which was so beatifully decorated with powdered cocoa and fruit.

These French macarons were also so pretty and delicious.

An finally a hazelnut brownie torte, which was the epitome of every sweet I love.

Beau Rivage

We went to Beau Rivage in Malibu for Ilana's 25th birthday; The food was really good, and they had an amazing selection of desserts! We tried four different cakes:


Apple Tarte Tartin - This is not usually my thing, but I loved it!


Chocolate Cake - A good standard chocolate cake, but not the best I've ever had.


Tiramisu - I loved this! My second favorite of the night, it was so fluffy and flavorful.


Chocolate Pecan Pie - My favorite of all! It was so dense and crunchy with that perfect sweet/salty combo.

Serafina

Serafina was staple restaurant for my friends and I in high school, so I thought it was the perfect place to meet up with friends the one night I had free in NYC. It's simple Italian food, but SO good. I think it's my ultimate comfort food. After two pizzas and pasta, we ordered three desserts: a tiramisu, an apple pie and dark chocolate Nutella soufflé.







They were all great, but of course I liked the soufflé best.
