I started with the obligatory gelato affogato, in which vanilla gelato quickly melted into hot espresso. That got me into dessert mode and I stopped secondguessing my own gustatory fortitude. The tiramisu was traditional, with the right texture though a little sweet for my taste, but that cannoli. That cannoli was exquisite. A housemade pastry shell contained pistachio-infused ricotta with just a hint of sweetness. Paired with a very dark espresso, those flavors carried me into the gentle embrace of satiety, and there I realized that we had been eating and drinking for four hours (!).

I can’t remember the last time I spent four hours on a meal. Looking ahead, I can’t think of a place I would rather do so than at Trattoria Fondi. NH
