Cream Cheese Crostata with Orange Marmalade image

(Crostata con Crema di Formaggio e Marmellata di Arance Amare) Florentines aren't big dessert-eaters, so many menus have a limited array of sweets. Not so at Zibibbo. Chef Vitali's delicious selection includes this cream cheese tart, which is one of the restaurant's most popular desserts. What to drink: An estate-bottled Vin Santo.
