"The apple and almond crostata offers a comforting and subtly sweet finish without overpowering the palate after the savory and slightly spicy linguine. The honey-lemon drizzle complements the lemon notes of the main course and provides a refreshing sweetness that balances the richness of the cream and the heat of the chili, tying the meal together."
