Now that it’s beginning to look a bit more like fall in Boston, restaurants across the city are updating their menus to feature new autumn-inspired desserts. If you’re looking to treat yourself this season, you can expect to find hints of pumpkin, apple, maple and spices all over the city. Bundle up and take in the newest flavors of fall at these restaurants.

Prezza (24 Fleet St. 617-227-1577) This fine dining Italian restaurant in the North End is ready for colder weather with a new line of autumn entrées as well as desserts. Chef Anthony Caturano has come up with the Pumpkin Napoleon—spiced pumpkin cake adorned with cream cheese, salted pecans and whipped cream—as well as the classic Hot Apple Crisp, complete with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. 

Top of the Hub (800 Boylston St. 617-536-1775) Located at the top of the Prudential Center, this lively restaurant specializes in warm desserts for the most avid chocolate lovers. The Valrhona Warm Chocolate Cake, served with butter pecan ice cream, and the Champagne Cream Chocolate Espresso Cup, served with biscotti and caramel sauce, are just a couple of the items on the menu. 

CLINK (215 Charles St. 617-224-4004). Liberty Hotel's popular bar and restaurant is located in the former Charles Street Jail, where original cells remain intact and provide a unique dining space. The dessert menu features local Apple and Raisin Pie served with brown sugar ice cream as well as Butterscotch Pots de Crème served with madeleines and shortbread.
