Harry’s Dolce Vita
They take ice cream sundaes very seriously at Harry’s Dolce Vita. There are three on the dessert menu, each one equally tempting. The decadent gianduia sundae features milk and bitter chocolate gelato topped with piedmontese hazelnut brownie, whipped cream, and warm salted caramel sauce; the Amalfi Sundae has a zesty lemon sorbet base topped with candied lemon, milk gelato, meringue, lemon sauce and sugared rosemary. The grown-up grappa zabaione serves up Grappa flavoured mousse and lemon sorbet trimmed with raspberries, pistachio and white chocolate pearls.

What could be more thoroughly indulgent than a classic banana split? At Colbert, the banana is caramelised and topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, raspberry purée and flaked almonds. Warm chocolate sauce is added at the table (so you can have as much as you want).
