Mozzicato De Pasquale is another proud Hartford establishment we're fortunate to have here. And we get pretty excited about the many cannoli, mousses and gelatos at the family-owned cafe. Mozzicato de Pasquale makes cakes, too, and "all different types of pastry," according to owner Gino Mozzicato, who owns the cafe and bakery with his wife Gisella, soon to be taken over by their three children. MdP is a great meeting place for after-dinner, pre-show dessert and, open till 1 a.m., still great for nightcaps, Mozzicato says.
