Just two of many incredible house made desserts at Pasquini’s.
Chocolate Espresso Torte (above), is a wedge of deliciously dense velvety chocolate with just a hint of espresso.
Classic Chocolate Cake (above) is moist and fluffy with a light and creamy frosting, not too sweet.

This sign was seen at a gas station in La Salle, Illinois. In case you’re wondering, the smell they’re advertising is the aroma of fresh bread being made at the Jimmy John’s sandwich shop inside the convenience mart.
