Cotta, a calzone like no other

I have found an Italian eatery with not just mediocre desserts but a real winner!  Cotta on the UWS not only has delicious food, great wine, and a cool ambience, it has a crazy good dessert calzone.  Thick pizza dough is stuffed with ricotta, Nutella, and walnuts, then sprinkled with powdered sugar.  Served with a knife to cut through it, the inside oozes out warm and delicious.  Buttery bread with chocolate is a great combo and the addition of the tart ricotta balances the flavors tremendously.  The walnuts added a nice crunch and nuttiness.  It’s a perfect dessert to share with the table.  I’ve been proven wrong on my dislike for desserts at Italian restaurants by this dish and I’m glad!
