Little-known fact: Splendora’s is open for breakfast, and if you hustle you’ll get there even before the vats of gelato are set out in the big glass cases. (Why you’d want to? Just ‘cause.) We let our eyes roam over the pastries until they settled on a humble-looking currant scone. It was the round type, […]

Note: This recipe is part of a year-end series of classic Acquired Tastes from the C-VILLE archives. This one first ran in 2002. Pizza Bella‘s North location in Seminole Plaza may have closed, but there was a lively bar scene early one Friday evening two years ago when we dashed in to pick up a […]
