What’s New at Gargiulo’s? Exciting Dessert Flavors to Try

Did you know that 38% of Americans consider dessert to be their favorite part of a meal? If you're nodding your head in agreement, then you're in for a treat! Gargiulo's, the beloved Italian restaurant that has been delighting Brooklynites with Neapolitan cuisine for over 50 years, has now opened its doors in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. And while their savory menu, boasting classics like Rigatoni Bolognese and Bucatini Cacio e Pepe, is undeniably tempting, we're here to spill the beans on something equally delightful: their dessert menu.

A Sweet Ending to a Perfect Meal

Gargiulo's dessert menu is a testament to the fact that Italians truly understand the art of concluding a meal on a sweet note. Let’s take a closer look at some of the stars of the show:

• Italian Cheesecake: Forget everything you know about cheesecake. This isn't your ordinary dessert. It's denser, creamier, and boasts a subtle hint of lemon zest that adds a refreshing twist to the rich, velvety texture. Each bite is a symphony of flavors that will leave you wanting more.
  

• Tiramisu: A timeless classic that never fails to impress. Gargiulo's rendition is a masterpiece of balance, featuring layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers that melt in your mouth, intertwined with creamy mascarpone cheese and a dusting of cocoa powder. It's a true indulgence for the senses.
  

• Flourless Chocolate Cake: Calling all chocolate lovers! This cake is an absolute dream. It's intensely rich, fudgy, and incredibly moist. The absence of flour gives it a unique texture that is both light and decadent. Plus, it's gluten-free, making it a guilt-free pleasure for everyone.
  

• Carrot Cake: This may be an American classic, but Gargiulo's puts their own Italian spin on it. It’s packed with fresh carrots, warm spices, and topped with a generous swirl of tangy cream cheese frosting. It's the perfect combination of sweet and savory.
  

• Gelato: Experience the true taste of Italy with Gargiulo's selection of artisanal gelato. Made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, their gelato is denser and more flavorful than traditional ice cream. With a variety of flavors to choose from, there's something to satisfy every palate.
  

• Affogato: Coffee and dessert lovers, rejoice! This delightful concoction features a scoop of creamy vanilla gelato "drowned" in a shot of hot espresso. The contrast between the hot and cold, bitter and sweet, creates a truly unique and satisfying experience.
  

• Tartufo: This hidden gem is a frozen delight that will transport you to the heart of Italy. It's made with rich chocolate gelato and a surprise center of hazelnut, all coated in a layer of cocoa powder. It's the perfect balance of textures and flavors, and a true indulgence for any occasion.
