Dolce
 

Italian cuisine just wouldn't be the same without a cannoli or tiramisu to enjoy after the second course would it? Nobody loves sweets more than those of us in the cold, either. On frozen New England nights, while the wind whips snow over the cobblestones in the North end, there's nothing like leaning back in your seat next to an old brick oven filled with sausages and lamb, sauces boiling on the stove to the side, and sipping an italian coffee and savoring the crusts, fruits, and puddings of authentic italian dolce.

To tourists in the boston area, this daydream may seem like a pretty picture, but to regulars of the Boston North end, it is a fond memory of many nights.

There are many restaurants in the North end who make delicious desserts and coffees, and several who specialize in italian pastries, making use of centuries of experience cultivating the most delicious cheeses and breads ever created into the softest, most wholesome cakes and doughnuts imaginable.
