Wait, have you actually found this in the dc area? Share your secret! This isn’t something I’d ever try to make myself, so I only get them when I go back home to CT.


Italian store often has them.

This is really easy and would go well with the meal.

With pasta and meatballs I would want something light, like fruit. But it's kind of mean to serve just fruit for dessert so I would offer both fruit and tiramisu.

I would do the chocolate cake or tiramisu but not the cookies. I don't know anyone who actually likes Italian cookies from the bakery.

I really like a nice tray of “Italian cookies” from the bakery.

The cranberry trifle in the WaPo food section this week looked really good.

I’ve always been curious about those olive oil cakes. Maybe a lemon basil flavor would be good. If you feel up to experimenting, of course.

OP if you want to bring a bought dessert and support a local business, go to Vaccaro's cannoli factory in Silver Spring (Brookeville Rd). https://www.vaccaros.com

Cannoli cake if you want to bake. Or a simple chocolate tort. Or a lemon ricotta cake that you can just sprinkle powder sugar onto.

Costco has good cannoli kits if you want to bring.
