Chicago | Hidden Dessert Gems in an Italian Supermarket! 🛒
✨ Shop Vibe Eataly is more than just a supermarket—it’s an Italian-themed experience full of authentic flavors and artistic decor 🎨🛍️! Every visit ends at La Pasticceria & Venchi dessert section, where I indulge in freshly made treats or take some home 🍮✨. From classic Italian pastries to chocolates and gelato 🍦, everything is crafted with perfection! 🍽️ Dessert Highlights 1️⃣ Bignola al Pistacchio ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A delicate cream puff filled with rich pistachio cream 🧁🌰. Crispy on the outside, bursting with nutty flavor inside—utterly addictive! 2️⃣ Semifreddo ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Soft sponge cake layered with smooth vanilla mousse 🍰🌿, topped with fresh raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries 🫐🍓. Light, refreshing, and perfect after a meal! 3️⃣ Toro ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hazelnut overload 🌰💥! A crispy tart base loaded with whole hazelnuts and nutty cake crumbs. A bit sweet for me—best paired with coffee ☕️. 4️⃣ Fruttino ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A mini fruit tart 🥧 with a buttery crust, rich custard filling, and a fresh raspberry on top 🍓. Crispy, bite-sized, and delightful! 5️⃣ Tiramisu ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A classic done right 🏅️! Moist, creamy layers infused with coffee and cheese flavors 🧀☕️, finished with a dusting of cocoa powder 🍫. Generous portion—always a must-order! 6️⃣ Cannoli ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sicilian specialty filled fresh upon order 🧑🍳. Crispy shell stuffed with smooth ricotta cream—I chose the dark chocolate version with 70% cocoa chunks 🍫, balancing sweet and bitter perfectly. 7️⃣ Venchi Chocolate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A longtime favorite since my days back home! Highly recommend the Dark Truffle Chocolate 🍄🍫—rich, bittersweet, and utterly luxurious. Stock up if you love chocolate or truffles! 🛒 Tips Fresh desserts sell out fast—visit early to get the best picks! 🕙🚀 💰 Around $10 per treat 📍 Eataly Chicago 43 E Ohio St, Chicago, IL 60611 #HiddenDessertGems #SweetToothHeaven #ChicagoEats #UniversityOfChicago #ChicagoLife
