Gelato

If you spend some time walking around any of the Italian towns or cities, you will see plenty of signs advertising gelato.

Tiramisu

Tiramisu is one of the most popular classic Italian desserts. It is made with mascarpone cheese and ladyfingers that have been soaked and coffee. Sometimes, is infused with liquor, but that is not a requirement. Finally, you will typically see it dusted with some espresso. Even though it is already popular in the United States, you will get the best Tiramisu in Italy. Regardless of whether you are in Rome, Florence, Milan, or Venice, you should not have to work very hard to find it!

Cannolis are fried dough shells that are filled with sweetened ricotta cheese. Then, there might be some other ingredients included, such as chocolate chips, pistachios, or candied fruit. Different regions in Italy have different toppings, so don’t hesitate to try a few cannolis wherever you go!
