I am cooking a meal for my boss and I also want to make an Italian dessert. Any ideas on what I should fix?!
1 pound ricotta cheese
2 eggs
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
In large bowl, combine ricotta, eggs, sugar and vanilla. Mix together baking powder and 1/2 cup flour. Fold into ricotta mixture. Add enough of remaining flour to make a thick batter. Let rest 1 hour. Heat oil in large heavy saucepan over high heat until a small amount of batter dropped in oil sizzles and starts to color. Drop batter by teaspoons into hot oil and deep fry until golden. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Stack sfingi on serving platter in a pyramid. Drizzle stack with honey and dust with confectioner's sugar.

I think you could maybe try baking some biscotti? :). It's a very simple cookie, and you can have fun and add in different things. Usually, people add almonds, or other nuts, honey, maybe even chocolate chips (but traditionally i dont see chocolate in them), but you can do whatever you like! Here is one link, although i think you can find many other good ones too.

Tiramisu.
Here is a good website with three different tiramisu recipes:

trust me, it will get you a promotion if not him giving you the company if you do the tiramisu right.
Cannoli is awesome! Especially homemade...
I would concentrate on the main meal and buy some gelato for dessert, probably lemon or lemon ice.
