Pear & Chocolate Panettone

Imported from Italy and wrapped in elegant paper, this panettone is handmade with only the highest-quality ingredients. It’s studded with dark chocolate and candied pears, and topped with handmade hazelnut-almond frosting. Excellent on its own, panettone pairs well with fresh berries, whipped cream, and dark chocolate. Enjoy it with a cup of coffee for an afternoon pick-me-up, or serve as after-dinner dessert with a glass of wine.

Since first opening its doors in the heart of Georgetown in 1983, Filomena Ristorante has become one of Washington, DC’s most beloved and iconic Italian restaurants. It was founded by JoAnna Filomena as a love letter to her Abruzzo-born mother, who would host large dinners for friends and family in which she’d serve a wide array of classic & simple Italian dishes and desserts, made with love. A warm and welcoming atmosphere – along with the famous “pasta mamas” who make fresh pasta daily by the front door – still greets customers all these years later, and JoAnna’s classic recipes haven’t changed since day one.
