Pumpkin spice lattes may be synonymous with fall, but I'm skipping them this season and opting for the pistachio latte from Fatto a Mano. The nutty sweetness from their house-made pistachio syrup is comforting, but never cloying. The syrup's genuine pistachio flavor gets a jolt from the Tache pistachio milk that's frothed into the ilse Italian espresso, creating a drink that embodies all the coziness of autumn. While the pistachio latte was intended to be a seasonal special, owner Pierluigi Mazzella says the drink has been so popular it will be a year-round staple. On behalf of all of Westport, I say: thank goodness.
Pistachio latte, $7.50 for 12 oz. at Fatto a Mano, 1835 Post Road E.
