    Verb must agree with the plural subject "i dolci"; use "sono" not "è".

  • Anche i dolci sono fantastico.

    Adjective must match the plural noun; use "fantastici".

    Placing "anche" after the noun changes the nuance; keep it before the noun for "also/even".

Italians love their sweets, but they often keep them simple—think tiramisu, panna cotta, or fresh fruit. Saying something is "fantastico" is informal and enthusiastic, so use it in friendly settings rather than formal reviews.
