Gelato!

As requested, here is more info on the Italian dessert that was served Saturday night...

Donatello (a basic chocolate flavor)

Stracciatella (strah-cha-TEL-lah)

If you think of this kind of like the Italian gelato equivalent of chocolate chip ice cream, you’re in the ballpark. It’s a fior di latte base with chocolate bits in it. The chocolate has usually been drizzled over the top of the just-made gelato and then mixed in after it’s hardened, so rather than uniform chocolate bits you end up with pieces that look like needles. This is a very common flavor. (source: http://www.italylogue.com/food-drink/italian-gelato-flavors-decoded.html)
