Vaso Azzurro

"A friendly taste of Northern Italy" from Mercury News
Saturday night before we played Rock Band, we went to Vaso Azzurro for dinner. The taste of Vaso Azzurro is friendly but not its price. If you want to have a warm welcome and authentic Italian restaurant atmosphere, Vaso Azzurro is a good choice.

I particularly like Vaso Azzurro's dessert menu. We four people ordered three desserts and two drinks. Among three desserts, Zabaglione occupied two shares. In addition to Zabaglione, we had one Affogata. These two desserts absolutely looked good and tasted good.

Affogata ($5.9)
Vaso Azzurro's Affogata is a vanilla gelato topped by espresso coffee, chocolate sauce, whipped cream and shaved chocolate.

Zabaglione ($5.9)
Vaso Azzurro's Zabaglione is better than Il Fronaio's in my opinion. Il Fronaio's Zabaglione is already the best among the best. So, you can imagine how wonderful Vaso Azzurro's is. Vaso Azzurro's is filled with fresh berries and covered with homemade creamy marsala wine sauce.

I ordered a raspberry latte with white chocolate. This latte is by far the best I have ever had. People like Totof who does not like coffee can appreciate it as well. I wonder what coffee bean and coffee machine Vaso Azzurro has. The dessert menu dazzles me.
