Vaccaros is an Italian dessert shop nestled in Canton Square, and the desserts are phenomenal. They have many different flavors of gelato and all kinds of Italian cookies, but the best items are the specialty desserts. Chocolate cannoli cake, napoleons, and cheesecakes tempt from behind the glass case. Last weekend marked my first visit to that location, and I had something called the Italian sandwich cookie...two round pieces of Devil's food cake surrounding a layer of baci (hazelnut) gelato and topped with hot fudge. It was, in a word, heaven.
