Occasion: Quick dessert stop

5/5 Tiramisu Classico: Ok the picture wasn’t so appetizing. I looked at it and thought…maybe I just got scammed. Holy. I was wrong. LOL. My and my friend ate it right outside the shop at Piazza di Spagna (they have multiple locations so check near you!), and I went “OH SHOOT” and he went “WHA BRAVA” and people outside the shop started laughing at his reaction. It was not too sweet. The espresso was not too bitter. The lady fingers weren’t dry (not enough coffee) and not dripping wet (in a pool of coffee). The cream was light and delicate. The chocolate on top was alright too. Skip the tiramisu at the restaurants and walk here instead. They have different flavors that I’ll be sure to try next time. Oh and the tiramisu comes with spoons and there are napkins available. There is also a lid on the box if you don’t finish (although I recommend eating and finishing the tiramisu as soon as possible so it doesn’t melt).

4/5 Tiramisu Pistacchio: This was good, but it was missing the richness of the chocolate that the classic tiramisu has. Regardless it is a decent tiramisu, but I thought the pistachio flavor was lacking. I enjoyed the tiny pistachio nuts on top, but the sauce didn’t taste like anything. Honestly while eating this, it felt like too much cream and I quickly got bored of eating it.

5/5 Tiramisu Caramello: Ohhhhh I loved the graham cracker on top! The caramel wasn’t too sweet either. I actually think I will get this flavor again before the original. I would say it was so good you could eat 3/4 of it before feeling like it’s too much to finish. The other ones you get kinda over 1/4 or 1/2 of the way through. There was a slight hint of salt and I think they didn’t put so much caramel in the creme if any at all.

Price: The total cost was 5 euros per tiramisu. I would say the portion is too big for one person and the tiramisu can be split between two (perhaps three if you are not big on sweets). Actually after eating one entire tiramisu myself, I will confirm that one is way too much. It is possible to finish, but I felt slightly cautious after and thirsty. You should share with someone else or have water on hand and be ready to need to sit and take a break or take a slow walk for digestion.
