Left in the refrigerator for a few hours to thaw, the Mascarpone becomes creamy, smooth and fluffy. The delicate coating of cocoa on the top accentuates the espresso drenched lady fingers, a sponge-like cake.
To say this was an experience to remember is a great understatement. I spent four days stealing a bit here and there and had this for dessert more than once all while feeling completely spoilt.
Thank you to Mary for her review. She convinced me to buy this in about 5 seconds.
The Indian Mini Samosas are also delicious and gourmet. Artiko seems to specialize in foods that are easy to cook or thaw, taste like gourmet treats and allow you more time to enjoy life without having to wash any dishes.
The Rebecca Review

I just wanted to thank you for creating the most delicious foods. My daughter moved out this year, I knew that she would never eat right, especially that she was a vegetarian, so she wouldn't just grab some fast foods. This service enables her to come home from work and just put the food in the microwave or toaster oven and enjoy a delicious, healthy meal. Which, in turn, gives me peace of mind. [...] she said your food is like going out to eat at an expensive restaurant. Thanks again...

I have looked a long time for a wonderful company like Artiko, where I can order top restaurant quality food at prices that are more than reasonable and have it rushed right to the door!
The people at Artiko are friendly and helpful with any questions or problems you have with the ordering or delivery of their food. And the food itself is THE BEST! The portion sizes are perfect and it is all so easy to prepare. I would and will recommend Artiko to anyone and everyone!

The assortment of items available is wonderful, as is the ease of ordering, taste, quality and delivery. I have sent items to friends who just had babies, my parents and ourselves! Everything so far is great!!!! I would highly recommend Atriko to anyone who wants good food to keep on hand in the freezer for those nights you just dont want to cook, but still want something nutritious and delicious and best of all EASY to prepare. I also recommend Artiko to anyone wanting to send gifts of food... their food is soooo much better than other companies touting gourmet meals frozen. Thanks, Artiko, for a great product!!!

Fall/Winter 2007 - "Delicious Delights: Consider Gourmet Food Gifts"
This is a fabulous gift idea - not just a food item, but an entire easy-to-prepare meal. Our reviewer indulged herself with croissants and chocolate-filled croissants that were nothing short of fabulous! The "Holiday Breakfast Bliss" (03101132 . $59.99) which contained 4 of each of the croissant types, sealed in plastic for freshness. They arrived in a beautiful gift box, well chilled with dry ice, and all she needed to do was pop them in the oven! Artiko offers a variety of foods, and meals (breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinners) but we think that holiday breakfast is an especially fabulous gift idea.
