Delicious Desserts and Antipasti
In addition to pizza, Girotondo serves classic antipasti dishes, such as Italian cured meats, burrata, and bresaola. To complete your meal, the tiramisu is a popular choice, but you could also try the Panna Cotta al Limone, a refreshing twist on the classic Italian dessert, where lemon adds a slight tang to the sweet cream.
