Italian desserts can be considered as romantic and smooth
and Solaire’s signature Italian restaurant, Finestra gives us an exceptional
treat. Their resident Chef, Salvatore de Vicentis presented us with two of his
finest creations – gelato trio of Homemade Nutella gelato with biscotti crumbs
and candied walnuts, Homemade Strawberry coconut gelato with strawberry coulis
and pistachio biscotti, and Homemade Mascarpone Gelato and the rich and creamy
Panna Cotta.

Gelato is Italy’s version of the ice cream but theirs is
finer and creamier. Finestra’s Chef Salvatore outdid himself with this winning
gelato combination. The Nutella is a sure favorite of both chocolate loving
kids and adults. The garnishing of biscotti crumbs and candied walnuts provided
wonderful texture to the smooth and creamy gelato. This gelato sampler easily
filled us to the brim especially if you have to finish all the flavor creations.
But you cannot ignore Chef Salvatore’s next dessert creation – the Vanilla Panna
Cotta. I’ve tried other similar desserts but Finestra’s version was made with
coffee cream and served in a delightful bowl with a slice of chocolate
biscotti. This bittersweet dessert must be his masterpiece and a sure winner
for coffee lovers. It is sweet and creamy with a tinge of bitterness. You truly
can never say no to these Italian desserts!
