Jolly Pasta’s Apple Dolce Fair Starts November 10
Jolly Pasta is a chain of pasta specialty restaurants run by Jolly Pasta Co., Ltd., part of the Zensho Group. Starting Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the chain will hold its Apple Dolce Fair and launch three desserts that put apples in the spotlight. The lineup includes the Freshly Baked Apple Pie with Caramel Sauce, which is baked in-store for each order. It also includes the Apple Crostata, a take on a classic Italian baked sweet, and the Glass Dolce Apple, a mini-sized treat that is just right after a meal.
Jolly Pasta offers desserts with a different theme each season, and this time the star is the apple. The highlight of the fair is that you can taste apples two ways on one plate. One is crisp fresh apple. The other is tender syrup-soaked apple fragrant with cinnamon.

Freshly Baked Apple Pie with Caramel Sauce
Price: ¥690 (¥759 incl. tax)
The centerpiece of the fair is an apple pie baked in-store for each order. A flaky pie filled with custard cream is topped with fresh apple and syrup-soaked apple coated in cinnamon sugar. It also comes with apple-flavored crushed jelly and vanilla gelato.
The toasty pie and the elegantly sweet vanilla gelato pair perfectly with the sweet-tart apples. You can also enjoy the contrast in texture between the crisp fresh apple and the soft syrup-soaked apple. Caramel sauce is served on the side, so you can pour it on as you like for a pleasantly bittersweet note.
The pie measures about 12 cm in diameter. It is a generous dish, ideal for an afternoon café break when you want a satisfying sweet treat.
Apple Crostata
Price: ¥590 (¥649 incl. tax)
Crostata is a baked sweet much loved in Italy, and this dessert is Jolly Pasta’s own take on it. A crisp tart with custard and whipped cream is topped with syrup-soaked apple and vanilla gelato. It is finished with fresh apple and more.
Sweet-tart apples with a bright cinnamon aroma meet a tart with a gentle butter fragrance and a rich caramel sauce. Together they create a truly autumnal flavor. It is a dessert to watch for if you want to try an Italian dolce from a pasta specialty restaurant.
Glass Dolce Apple
Price: ¥490 (¥539 incl. tax)
This mini-sized glass dessert starts with smooth panna cotta. It is layered with fresh apple, syrup-soaked apple, crushed jelly, vanilla gelato, caramel sauce and more.
The sweet-tart apples go nicely with the milky panna cotta and the gently sweet vanilla gelato. Tangy mixed berries and bittersweet caramel sauce add accents to the flavor. It is the most affordable of the three and just the right size when you want one more treat after your meal.
Comparing the Three Desserts
- For a satisfying indulgence: Freshly Baked Apple Pie (¥759 incl. tax). Its appeal is the freshly baked pie and its generous size of about 12 cm across.
- For an Italian baked sweet: Apple Crostata (¥649 incl. tax). It features a butter-scented tart and rich caramel sauce.
- For a light after-meal treat: Glass Dolce Apple (¥539 incl. tax). It is a mini-sized dessert with a panna cotta base.
All three desserts use fresh apple, syrup-soaked apple and vanilla gelato. Each one lets you enjoy the different textures and sweet-tart flavors of the two kinds of apple.
Summary
Jolly Pasta’s Apple Dolce Fair is scheduled to roll out at all 322 restaurants from Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Three desserts are available: an apple pie baked in-store, a crostata inspired by a popular Italian baked sweet, and a mini glass dolce. You can choose the one that suits your mood and occasion. Why not stop by a Jolly Pasta near you and enjoy these autumn apple desserts?
