This sweet, rich, and syrupy espresso is exactly what Nono and Nona would approve of. They're tough critics, and rightly so; it's a tradition to be upheld. While our take on the Italian roast doesn't contain Robusta due to certain requirements of the standard we have here, this coffee is pushed to the dark, deep limits of roasting to give you that bold taste that pairs remarkably with milk, or as an espresso with your favorite Zeppoli!
Dante St. .... What can I say...I smell pizza, I smell cannolis, I smell coffee... I feel like an Italian in my own city. When I was little, my best friend's parents would take us to Dante's Hardware (ON DANTE STREET), it was such a polarizing store, I thought. Guns and cooking supplies. I was too young to distinguish between hunting weapons and anything you might see in crime movies. Yet, the store was magical to me and remains one of the places I visit every time I'm in Little Italy. This neighborhood is full of life, spirit, and that same unidentifiable quality that I found so charming so many years ago. You could say it's my hat off to the Italians I grew up with, and to those who still put up with me today!
