Meals in Italy usually end with a strong espresso. That is, unless you want a scoop of ice cream “drowned” ("affogato" in Italian) in hot espresso. Affogato is an Italian classic that couldn’t be quicker and easier to make. Brew your espresso good and dark, and sip your sophisticated, after dinner sweet like you might do at a cafe after hours in Rome. It's the perfect ending to one of our traditional Italian entrees or hearty soups.
