Dessert at our Italian dinner was a traditional afogato, called a Piccolo Affogato al Caffe (espresso poured over gelato). Our friends Ben and Laura from Van Leeuwen brought a vanilla flavored ice cream from their shop. If you haven’t tried Van Leeuwan ice cream yet – you must ! Their yellow trucks are scattered throughout the city and the have a little shop in williamsburg as well. The best part is that they use local and organic products to hand make all their ice creams. Alongside the gelato, we served an array of cookies from another local fave – One Girl Cookies. And with this we end our Italian dinner posts – thanks again to all our friends and vendors for participating in such a wonderful day !
Mmmm…. that looks wonderful, and makes me wonder: Would Starbucks be willing to drop some gelato into my morning espresso??
beautiful!
je trouve dommage que tu aies changé le look de ton blog, je le trouvais plus percutant auparavant, là, il semble un peu fade et pourtant tes photos sont toujours aussi réussies, mais elles sont moins en valeur, il me semble.
The old tray is such a perfect backdrop for the coffee and biscuits. Simple yet stunning!!
Love your blog, the afogatos caught my attention-they look delicious-one of my favorite drinks during the summer,

We add a small splash of amaretto or sometimes kahlua to our affogato.
