Pompi — Restaurant in Florence

The worker we came across was extremely rude in a completely disregarding way. We answered all her questions in italian while ordering and couldn't understand the last question so we told her we couldn't understand. She rolled her eyes, stared at us for a long time before complaining in italian to her coworkers about how we "tried to speak italian even when we can't do it properly so why try". I assume she learns every language 100% fluently before she visits the country / doesn't learn anything at all about the culture or the language and rolls around mindlessly 😂. This was completely unnecessary as she went around a couple more times complaining about us in similar ways as we finished our order. Would strongly recommend against this place purely for the attitude of the workers. Nice...

As the shop is too small and surrounded by Asian and Islamic markets and restaurants, you may miss it without the map. It is a crowded and unsafe area. Though I understand that it is the most famous and popular tiramisu shop, they didn't have enough space and staff to respond to every order and tell the customers to make a line.

Those who endorse it should be sweet teeth. It was worse than word of mouth. I assume that Asians...

Pompi Café is very popular in Florence, and everyone seems to be talking about it, so I decided to give it a try. I had the Pistachio Tiramisu, and I must say, it felt a bit overrated.

At €5, I expected something more authentic and flavorful. Unfortunately, the pistachio version didn’t impress me—I felt like it lacked any distinct taste. Perhaps the classic tiramisu would give a more authentic experience, but I can't say this version was worth the hype.

If you're comparing desserts, I’d recommend trying B Labn (بلبن), the famous dessert patisserie from Egypt and Dubai, before saying this is the best. It offers much richer and more memorable flavors.

Overall, while the café is famous, my experience with the pistachio tiramisu was...
