ON THE DESSERT MAP: Dessert lovers have a new stop in Huntington Village where Gerard Fioravanti has teamed up with Nino Antuzzi to open Fiorello Dolce, a pastry shop that’s as sophisticated as any this side of the Champs D’Elysees. OK, so what do a couple of guys with pretty Italian sounding names bring to the pastry table? Mmmm… where to begin? Fioravanti is a French Culinary Institute grad who obviously knows how to handle a pastry bag; and Antuzzi’s credential’s -- he owns Red and Osteria Da Nino, both in Huntington Village – speak for themselves. The duo opened the doors to their shop just a week ago and those with a taste for top-shelf desserts have been finding their way there since. Inside, an assortment of pastries and cakes – many topped with fresh fruit – gleam like jewels from behind curved glass display cases. The tarts, shortcakes, éclairs and Napoleans are as much a treat for the eye as the palate. But don’t save Fiorello Dolce for just those special occasions. Fresh made brioche, turnovers, muffins and biscotti – along with coffee and espresso drinks – are reason enough to make the shop a regular stop. Fiorello Dolce (631-424-4024) is tucked into a corner store at 57 Wall Street, next to favorite Foodie stops Off The Wall and A&S Fine Foods. Stop in… and tell them the Foodies sent you.

FOODIE TIP: One major restaurant food supplier has taught his kids not to eat ‘fresh’ fish at restaurants on Sunday night. It is almost always Friday’s delivery at best. And even if it was once frozen, the weekend certainly didn’t make it fresher. Imagine what happens on those holiday weekends when Monday night is a big family night out, but food supply delivery folks are at home all weekend grilling their perfectly aged steaks. Think about when a restaurant received their “fresh” fish. Or ask. Nothing is black or white but unless you know the chef; the Foodies recommend common sense.
