return to La Forchetta for some desserts

The purples returned to La Forchetta to celebrate a lovely couple's anniversary. We tried different dishes but this posting will be for the three desserts we shared.





from top left..


Classic Sicilian Gelato ($7)
Three scoops of Natural Italian Ice Cream

Traditional ‘In-House’ Tiramisu ($9)
with strong brewed espresso, Marsala desert wine, spiced rum,
cognac & kahlua finished with semi-sweet chocolate shavings


Twice-baked Warm Chocolate Cake ($10)
with a centre of warm chocolate ganache, topped with a Sicilian Vanilla gelato scoop
and drizzled with a Belgium white chocolate sauce

The twice-baked chocolate cake (left) was very sweet and rich in chocolate flavour. It had a warm chocolatey core which melted in your mouth like heaven. If you are a chocolate fan, this is a perfect dessert to go for.

The gelato was soft and mild tasting. It tastes like how you think vanilla gelato tastes like. I am not sure it is worth $7 other than the fact that it was presented in a martini glass topped with gooseberry. Which, by the way, all their desserts (at least the ones we ordered) were decorated with gooseberries. I liked it because gooseberry is juicy and tangy (nice palate cleanser after heavy sweets) and looks elegant placed in its shell.


The traditional tiramisu did not look like a traditional tiramisu. We thought it was actually two scoops of ice cream. It was fluffy like a mousse and did not have ladyfingers. It had rich espresso scent and taste which is always a plus when it comes to tiramisu.

And of course, the house rosemary bread. It is absolutely to die for. I did find it little bit saltier than last time but still my number one complimentary bread given at any restaurants in Toronto.
