Although its name might sound similar to pizza, the pizzelle cookie resembles a waffle more than a pizza pie. Most of these light, delicate cookies have intricate designs from the often-antique waffle irons they’re made with. Dating back to the 8th century, Abruzzo’s pizzelle is considered Italy’s oldest known cookie. These wafer-like treats are cu...
Mostaccioli is the most popular dessert in this small, mountainous region in Southern Italy. The almond cookie is baked with the region’s speciality, vincotto (cooked wine), which gives it the signature dark brown color. Sweetened with honey and sometimes dipped in chocolate, the diamond-shaped biscuits are Basilicata’s favorite treat around Christ...
Occupying the toe of Italy, Calabria’s sun-drenched coastline is unsurprisingly the home of one of Italy’s best frozen desserts. Known as the city of ice cream, the small fishing town of Pizzo is filled with gelaterias, but nowadays the tartufo is just as well known. The story goes that after a local ice cream maker ran out of molds, he started for...
This rich almond and cocoa cake might be Italy’s best-kept secret – literally. In 1886, a pastry chef named Eugenio Gollini came up with a recipe for this light chocolate cake, and the bakery bearing his name has kept it a protected secret ever since. Today, Pasticceria Gollini, a pastry shop in the town of Vignola just outside of Modena, still cre...
Campania might be best known as the region where pizza was created, but its culinary contributions don’t stop there. Babà napoletano is a must-try for visitors to this region, especially for those exploring Naples. The small, spongy, mushroom-shaped cake is bathed in a citrusy rum syrup that’s as sticky as it is delicious. Bakeries along the Amalfi...
The name of this cookie is a tongue-in-cheek play on it’s appearance: Burutti ma buoni translates to “ugly but good.” They might not look like much on the outside, but one bite will have you hooked. Traditionally made with hazelnuts or almonds, the soft, chewy center is a surprise on the first bite, and the delicate texture is thanks to the cookie’...
Originating in the town of Mantua, sbrisolona comes from the Mantuan word meaning crumbly, and it’s easy to see why. The buttery almond tart is a cross between biscotti and shortbread, and sheds its fair share of crumbs with every bite. Don’t let that stop you though. This crunchy cookie, which is cut into slices like a pie, pairs perfectly with co...
These gnocchi from Friuli-Venezia Giulia (or simply Friuli) might look savory, but are actually stuffed with sweet Italian prunes, toasted in butter, and dusted with cinnamon. The region borders Austria and Slovenia, and its local cuisine is heavily influenced by the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Plum dumplings are common in many Eastern European...
Located in the North of Italy, Piedmont is known for great wine and stunning mountain views. It’s also the birthplace of panna cotta, one of the most universally beloved desserts to come out of Italy. Panna cotta, which translates literally to cooked cream, is a softly set pudding. It’s the essence of simplicity, and is one of Italy’s most versatil...
The region of Liguria is also known as the Italian Riviera, and these baci di riviera (or riviera kisses) are named after the famous waterfront. Also known as baci di Alassio, the bite-size cookies originate in the charming Ligurian town of Alassio. Made of two decadent chocolate hazelnut cookies held together by chocolate ganache, they are named f...

- Apple Strudel. South Tyrol in Trentino-Alto Adige. Traditional apple strudel may be the furthest thing from your mind when you think of Italian desserts, but in this vast northern region of Italy where the craggy peaks of the Dolomites tower over green mountain meadows and hearty fare like dumplings reign supreme on every menu, apfelstrudel is one of South Tyrol’s most beloved foods and one of the most traditional Italian desserts you’ll find.
- Gelato. Everywhere! Picture Italy and an image of an Italian walking around with a cup of gelato is probably not far off. This tastier alternative to ice cream is perhaps the most famous Italian dessert.
- Tiramisu. Treviso in Veneto. Made with coffee-soaked ladyfingers and layers of mascarpone cheese, this mood-boosting Italian dessert literally translates to “pick-me-up.”
- Cannoli. Sicily. The popular Italian dolci hail from Sicily and may be the most quintessential of Sicilian foods. The word cannoli is plural (cannolo is singular), so be careful not to ask for “one cannoli.”
