Chocolate Volcanoes

Tired of ice cream dates, or froyo runs. I have a solution. Gelato. Gloria's Little Italy has a back counter full of desserts and gelato and you can order them a la carte. There is even a private sitting area just for the dessert crowd. Gloria's has all types of flavors, from Animal Cracker to Nutella, nutella being my personal favorite. Glorias makes it an expereince by serving you in little glass cups and topping your gelato scoop with yummy wafer crackers. Also in the dessert counter are something I like to call Chocolate VOLCANOES! But for reals, ask the waiter for a chocolate volcano and they'll know what you're talking about. This dessert is definitely to share, because they are massive once they have melted. They start out as a chocolate ball a little bigger than a grape fruit. Once the waiter puts it in the microwave it melts to cover your whole plate in a gooey chocolate, brownie, creme mess. And if you are really nice to your waiter they can top off the volcano with raspberries and raspberry sauce. Just typing about it is making want to go get another one.
But what is a date without a theme right? Turn it into an Italian night.

Start the night off by making an Italian Dinner (again Pinterest it).
