Italian Desserts Suck

Yeeah. Looks pretty delicious huh? Except they were kind of awful...and the one in the bottom? Every time I slipped it into my mouth tasted like someone just rung a dirty rag down my throat. Our bellies did not appreciate our trip to Little Italy. If anyone has a good place to suggest for decent, authentic Italian desserts that won't make me barf, please recommend ASAP.
