Pearimisu - My New Year's Eve Dessert

Adam and I shared a delicious dinner experience for New Year's Eve 2009. We dined at Fresco Italian Cafe in Salt Lake. It's specifically in the Sugarhouse area and wow... I loved it.

Sometimes when a dining experience is just so special, I absolutely limit the amount of pictures I take ... especially if it's a romantic evening out like this dinner.

I did however, capture a photo of our dessert. It's called Pearimisu and it was delicious. I can't say enough about Fresco Italian Cafe... and I will say I highly recommend it.

Here's what we ordered:

Complimentary:
Breads and Balsamic Butter with Sea Salt (this balsamic butter was practically my favorite thing there! I will be trying it out my test kitchen!)
