Mozzarella Fritta: Flash-Fried Breaded Fresh Mozzarella with Artist Palette Condiments – $9.00

Mozzarella Fritta: Flash-Fried Breaded Fresh Mozzarella with Artist Palette Condiments – $9.00

This comes on a “palette” with an assortment of dipping sauces. The green sauce is pesto, while the brown is balsamic vinegar, possibly a glaze. The red sauce tasted like marinara to us. The pink sauce is an aioli. There’s nothing special about this. The breading is of a poor quality. The cheese isn’t memorable, though the presentation is fun. We’d pass on this. It’s just not worthwhile. We rate this a 1 out of 7.

*NEW* Tricolore: Cheese-Filled Ravioloni, Pomodoro, Cream, and Pesto Sauces – $8.75

Tricolore: Cheese-Filled Ravioloni, Pomodoro, Cream, and Pesto Sauces – $8.75

The ravioloni themselves are cheese-filled but otherwise unremarkable. The pomodoro sauce was bland. We couldn’t taste any spices whatsoever; it was like plain tomato sauce from the grocery store. Picky eaters or children might enjoy it. The cream sauce still wasn’t anything special but it had a little but of richness that we appreciated. The pesto was pretty good. It’s not high quality but it’s definitely better than the other two. We rate this a 3 out of 7.

*NEW* Hazelnut S’more Cannoli: Cannoli Shell Dipped in Chocolate and Graham Cracker, Chocolate-Hazelnut Cannoli Cream, and Toasted Marshmallows – $5.50

A hand holds a cardboard tray with a dessert featuring a pastry shell filled with chocolate and topped with toasted marshmallows, capturing the creative spirit of the Festival of the Arts.
Hazelnut S’more Cannoli: Cannoli Shell Dipped in Chocolate and Graham Cracker, Chocolate-Hazelnut Cannoli Cream, and Toasted Marshmallows – $5.50

The cannoli shell is crispy, a little on the thick side, but decent. Putting graham cracker on it makes it a little dry. It’s not bad, but it’s not a great cannoli either. We rate this a 4 out of 7.

Peroni Pilsner (5.1% ABV) – $6.50 for 6 oz., $11.00 for 12 oz.

Peroni Brewery describes their beer as “a crisp and refreshing beer with a delicate balance of bitterness, citrus and spicy aromatic notes, combined with a fast and clean finish.”

Italian Red Sangria – $12.00

Italian Red Sangria – $12.00

Have you ever put red wine in the microwave? That’s what this is. We thought sangria came with ice and fruit, but this was just a room temperature liquid. The flavor was fruity, so it could have been really good, but as it got hotter, it was just too warm to drink. We rate this a 1 out of 7.

Italian Margarita with Tequila, Triple Sec, and Fabrizia Limoncello ($20/bottle) – $12.00

Italian Margarita with Tequila, Triple Sec, and Fabrizia Limoncello ($20/bottle) – $12.00

The margarita was quite good as it tasted almost like a melting lemon ice dessert. However, there didn’t seem to be much liquor in the drink, as we didn’t taste much besides the faint hint of tequila. Overall, this is a tasty drink, but don’t expect to get much alcohol for your money here. We rate this a 5 out of 7.

*NEW* Mela Spritz: Apple Schnapps, Prosecco, and Sparkling Water – $15.00

A hand holding a champagne flute filled with bubbly drink celebrates the Festival of the Arts, set against a serene background of greenery and water.
Mela Spritz: Apple Schnapps, Prosecco, and Sparkling Water – $15.00

This tastes like alcoholic apple juice in a bad way. We don’t recommend this. We rate this a 2 out of 7.
