Krispy Kreme This Ain't

Lunch at Jovia. Calamari Salad. Hand torn pasta with eggplant, tomatoes and mozarella. But the piece de resistance? The Bellisimi Fritti. Hands down, one of my top five desserts IN THE CITY. Now that's saying something. Small, fried doughnuts filled with mascarpone date custard, fresh and hot out of the over lightly dusted with large granules of sugar. Accompanied by a chocolate dipping sauce, coconut ice cream with granola crust and my personal favorite, passionfruit dipping sauce. Heavenly. I would return simply for this alone.

Josh DeChellis was in the kitchen, we smiled at him on our way in, but alas, I must admit that I think he did better at Sumile. He should stick to Japanese-style.
