After 29 years of “making ice creams
and desserts I can tell you the most popular
are tiramisu and profiteroles,” say
Luca. He understands that part of the
reason for the popularity of both these
dishes is that they are usually familiar
to diners, while desserts with more exotic-sounding
names such as Panna Cotta,
Cream Catalana, Fragola and Amarena
are not so well known.
The latter pair (Fragola and Amarena)
are part of a selection of desserts
classified as Semifreddi. These dishes
are a meringue-based cold dish which
consist simply of sugar, milk and cream,
with the flavor (chocolate,strawberry,
etc.) blended into the cream. Simple yet
tasty and filling.
.............................................
As an accompaniment
to a dessert dish,
Toscana also has around
35 different varieties of
grappa with an alcohol
content of anywhere from 38 to 43 percent.
They are blended as smooth as
possible so the alcohol doesn’t burn
your throat.

The restaurant serves liqueurs, including
Irish Coffee (made of course
with Jameson Irish Whiskey).
........................................................................
In keeping with the aim of running a
restaurant which is as friendly and relaxed
as possible, Luca says, “some
customers, when they’ve finished their
main meal, might like to go outside and
have a cigarette or a cigar. We have no
problem with that and they are welcome
to have their coffee or dessert served
outside where they can sit down and enjoy
the evening.”
