We've been frequent visitors of "Olive Garden" restaurant lately..since my toddler turned a year about a year ago..mainly because the place is kid friendly (crayons and scribbling papers are life-savers!), plus I love the Minestrone soup they serve and their bread is not bad at all and my husband is a fan of the never-ending pasta bowl! We never really bothered looking at the dessert menu, until today that is. We went to OG for our Sunday lunch today and for some reason I decided to give the dessert menu a quick peek. And what caught my eye were the newly introduced mini desserts, what they called "Dolcini'" or little dessert treats. There were six flavors to choose from and we decided we'd give it a try...particularly after I saw the words "dark chocolate" "cake" "caramel sauce" and "chocolate mousse" all under the same item! I ordered the Dark chocolate cake with Chocolate mousse and caramel cream (delicioso!) and my husband ordered Chocolate mousse with Dark chocolate cookie crust(yum). They were just the right size..not too big where you'd feel like you over-indulged and not too small where you hardly take a bite and you are done. Just enough to really get all the flavors of chocolate and the cream. Mine was a good balance of bitter dark chocolate and the sweet caramel cream, my husband's was slightly more bitter, but good rich-dark-chocolate kind of bitter.They had some other interesting flavors too..I am going to try the Amaretto Tiramisu with Almond cookie crumbles next time!
