Another delicacy from Sicily; the famous gelato is made of pure milk, cream and fruit puree. Similar as it may be to its U.S. imitator, what sets gelato apart from regular ice cream is its lack of air, leaving more room for satisfaction.

The pastry is a typical treat in Rome or Naples, and it’s far more than your average donut. It consists of a deep-fried dough ball of approximately 4 inches in diameter. The pastry is topped with powdered sugar and may contain a filling. Possible fillings could be jelly, custard, cannoli-esque creme, or even ricotta.

A coffee flavored treat that is composed of ladyfingers, another Italian delicatessen, made of a sweet egg-based biscuit. The ladyfingers are dipped in coffee. They are layered with eggs, sugar, mascarpone cheese (cream-based), cocoa for flavor and then whipped together. Its origins are often argued amongst the Italian regions.

It’s simply an almond biscuit which originated from the city of Prato in Italy.It consists of flour, sugar, eggs and almonds. It is twice-baked which allows for it to be stored long term. The biscuit has a dry, crunchy consistency and it is often dipped in a drink.

It’s a doughnut with a filling and it’s name hints to why it’s a guilty pleasure. The pastry is also called “bomba” in original Italian, which means “bomb”. In modern day, this would refer to a “calorie bomb”. So if you’re ever confronted with the decision of stuffing one of these babies in your mouth, put down that literal baby, and pick up one of these bomb pastries!
