Frìtołe (Italian: frittelle or frittole) are Venetian doughnuts served only during Carnival. Similar to bomboloni, they are round, yeast-risen fried pastries. Frìtołe are served in a number of different forms, including frìtołe veneziane, which are unfilled and have pine nuts and raisins stirred into the dough, and several filled varieties.[1] Fillings include pastry cream, zabaione, and occasionally less common fillings such as apple or chocolate custard cream.
