Finale

Born out of a brainstorming session between 2 Harvard Business School students, Finale offers a refreshing alternative to your normal dining experience. Owners Kim Moore and Paul Conforti envisioned a restaurant devoted to desserts and created Finale, focusing on classy sweets with few appetizer-sized “preludes” (white pizza $10) available to round out your indulgent evening. While the bite-sized antipasto and spring rolls are done well, the cocktails (everything from wine to cognac to champagne) are enough to whet your appetite for the real meal. Popular items include the mouthgasmic “Molten Choclate Cake” ($11) made from a dark, rich cocoa and the “Peanut Butter Joy” ($10), a beautiful chocolate and peanut-butter cake with fudge sauce and gourmet ice cream. Enjoy with a cognac or hot toddy. Also swing by their downtown location, off the Arlington MBTA. Finale is truly one of the best places to head for dessert in the city: also a wonderful and cozy place for a date with someone special! The number one date spot for Valentine's day!
