Definition: Cornetto is a sweet, round doughnut-like pastry that originated in Italy. It is typically made with layers of sugar and filling, such as chocolate, caramel, or fruit, which are then rolled into a crescent shape. The name "cornetto" comes from the Italian word "corto," meaning short or narrow. Cornettos are often served hot and cold, and they can be enjoyed on their own or with a variety of toppings.
