On the menu, it is called Amato. Perhaps it is an homage to a town in Italy? I’m not sure. But I do know that when I was craving for something light and filling, this slice of cheesecake hit the spot.
My eyes gravitated to “low fat” before “cheesecake.” Can this taste good?, I wondered. I took a chance and ordered it, along with some hot tea.
I’d call the flavor refreshing. Tart and light, but still savory enough to be filling. I liked that their crust was a bit oaty, not the usual graham cracker crust one finds at the bottom of cheesecakes. I would’ve preferred that the cheesecake were slightly chilled before serving, but it was good nonetheless.
