And so it does, at least that's what James Gosling said when he announced Corretto at Devoxx back in 2018.


Hey, paesano! In an amusing coincidence, I had a delicious Caffè Corretto after dinner at Donato Enoteca in Redwood City last night. They make it with a shot of espresso and a shot of grappa (Italian grape brandy for those unfamiliar with the word). Bracing!


Donato happens to be one of the best Italian spots in the Bay Area. Good pick!
