| - I've learned that if you eat dinner in an ethnically-themed neighborhood (i.e. Little Italy), you should get dessert from the bakery down the street. In all likelihood, the restaurant is getting their desserts from the bakery and selling them at twice the price (with a scoop of gelato and a sprig of mint, of course). And so it was that I found myself at Presti's.
The desserts are beautiful. Eclairs, tarts, tons of cookies, cream puffs the size of my fist (and I have large hands). Having learned from previous botched bakery experiences, I ordered a cannoli and a piece of tiramisu to go. Both were outstanding - probably two of the best desserts I have ever eaten. I paid over $6 for the two items, which seems pricey, but it'll actually act as a deterrent for me going there daily to stock up on mascarpone-/ricotta-laden goodness.
So, when in Little Italy, dine at the restaurant of your choice, enjoy a glass of dessert wine senza dessert, and then walk over to Presti's.
