Tiramisú Merisù | Trastevere — Restaurant in Rome

We ordered at 9:07PM. We ordered two. One GF as im intolerant to gluten and one nutella for my partner. When they hand out the orders they don't even look at you and just mumble out so I don't even know if we got what we wanted. We knew where we were in the queue so we saw one go out and they said "gluten free", and then we waited for the next one. We waited until 9:23 (15 minutes) and saw a bunch of people (about 6) get served and get made these after us. At this point i wasn't even certain that what we had received was my "GF one" and where was the other? I queued up in the long queue to request a refund. When I got there they claimed they gave it out and I showed them what I held. They then said they can make another but i said no thank you we'd prefer a refund. They gave the money back to me in cash when I paid by card and didn't even hand it to me - just dumped it on the counter and walked away. No apologies. Said nothing. My partner ate the questionable tiramisu and he said it was probably worse than the supermarket tiramisus. He didn't end up eating much of it and threw the rest away. Poor experience that ruined our night. Honestly you'd get the same sort of product and service at Conrad or Carrefour Express and save €3

EDIT: After looking at the photos online we realised we had been given a nutella one, not a...

Stepping into Merisù in Trastevere is an absolute treat for anyone who loves tiramisu. It's a small, cozy shop that feels like a little hidden gem. The concept is brilliant and so unique: they make the tiramisu fresh for you on the spot! You get to watch them layer the ingredients right in front of you, which is a fantastic part of the experience.

However, while the idea is great, we found the tiramisu itself wasn't quite the best we've had. The coffee in particular was very strong, giving the overall dessert a bit of a bitter edge that, for our taste, overpowered the sweetness of the cream. While the traditional flavor is their classic, they also offer a variety of other creative options like pistachio and Nutella, which might be a better choice if you're looking for something less coffee-forward.

Because of its popularity and small size, there can be a queue, but it moves quickly. You'll likely enjoy your tiramisu standing or on a nearby bench. It's a popular spot and definitely worth trying for the experience, but if you prefer a milder coffee flavor in your tiramisu, you might find it a bit...

The tiramisu here is definitely good – creamy and flavorful – but considering that you can find tiramisu almost everywhere in Rome, it’s not the best we’ve had. The flavor selection is quite limited compared to some other places, and most of the options are quite sweet, which might not be to everyone’s taste.

One of the highlights, though, is the unique setup: there’s a large mirror behind the counter that lets you watch how the tiramisu is prepared. It’s a fun and interesting touch that adds to the overall experience and shows the care put into each dessert.

The biggest downside is the space inside. There are only a few small tables, and it feels quite cramped, especially if it’s busy. If you’re planning to stop by, we would strongly recommend getting your tiramisu to go. It’s much more convenient and you can enjoy it while exploring the city.

Overall, a solid stop for tiramisu lovers, especially if you’re nearby, but not necessarily a must-visit if you’re short on time. Still, it’s a good-quality dessert made fresh on the spot, and worth trying at least once during your...
