There are some quite enjoyable Italian desserts available here. After working off our dinner by making our rounds of the slots on the casino floor we were ready for something sweet. There were several flavored cakes (tiramisu, ricotta, and peanut butter/chocolate), cannoli, and sfogliatella in their display case .
My wife selected the Ricotta Cake while I was up for one of my longtime favorites, Sfogliatella. I decided to also splurge and have a Cannoli.
The cannoli shells are pre-filled so the shell is not going to have that really crisp crunch when you bite into it. Since they had both a plain filled cannoli and a filling with mini chocolate chips, I went the way of the chocolate chips which were few, but with just enough flavor to enhance the filling which was rich, flavorful and all the way through the shell.
The Sfogliatella shell was really crisp and crunchy on the outside like it should be. The ricotta filling was in the right proportion to the shell with a nice contrasting texture.
My wife gave me one taste of her Ricotta Cake and it was rich, not overly sweet and perfect with the coffee that we also ordered.
Our bill for all of this came to $21.83 including tax before tip. read more
