Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

Three classics on a Caffè Italia napkin: a crème brûlée with a torched top, a cocoa-dusted tiramisu in a glass and a chocolate-dipped cannoli with pistachio-crusted ends.

Always a must after dinner is about as clear a house rule as a caption gets. This was not a first visit — it was a ritual, and the order covers the full Italian café trio in one go.

The quick critique
