Post #3 - January 13th, 2005, 9:45 amFor all their ups and downs (including those embarrasing TV ads), Va Pensiero has always had very good spumoni. They serve it in three small scoops, each a different flavor, and dust it with pistachios and dried cherries. Fabulous.
I'm not sure how open VaP is to droppers-in for dessert, but there's only one way to find out.

Post #5 - January 13th, 2005, 2:31 pmHad an amazingly creamy spumoni, served as sort of a pie-shaped
slice at Club Lago last month. It was really a stand out. I didn't ask
whether made in house or not, but I think I'll have to go back for more
very soon.

Hell, if they can make good pastiera (which they do), I'd be more than happy to try their spumoni.

Post #8 - December 18th, 2013, 5:25 pmA friend told me he had some great, locally-made spumoni recently but could not remember where it was from. I figured I'd use the occasion to resuscitate this thread and see if anyone has any current leads for locally-made spumonis they enjoy.
Thanks,

Post #9 - December 18th, 2013, 9:59 pmAlthough it's not locally made, Forno Rosso imports spumoni from a specialty spumoni maker in Italy twice a week along with their cheese. I understand it's very good, but I have not yet tried it.

I'd love to find where it's from too then if it's local. Spumoni is my favorite ice cream . . . I recall the one at Spacca Napoli being great . . . pretty sure it's Lezza. And now I'm excited to try the one from Forno Rosso.

Fellow Spumoni devotee here. I'd bet with extreme confidence 90% of Spumoni in Chicago comes from Victor Lezza & Sons. There was one instant at a place that will remain unnamed where they claimed the superior product delivered from St. Charles Road and Manheim as their own. I chose not to argue.
