This is not just a place to eat tiramisu; it's a pilgrimage for anyone who truly loves the dessert. This is THE birthplace of tiramisu, and if you are in Treviso, this is the one place you absolutely must visit. I came all the way from Singapore, as tiramisu is my favorite dessert in the world. Unfortunately, on the day of my visit, the shop was closed for renovations. I was heartbroken, but then something incredible happened. One of the chefs, Paolo, saw me standing outside and, with incredible kindness, invited me in. Even though the shop was closed, he served me a perfect slice of their tiramisu. It was light, airy, and truly perfect—undoubtedly the most delicious tiramisu I have ever eaten. You can taste the history and passion in every spoonful. It's clear that the creators of this wonderful dish, now loved worldwide, poured their hearts into it. What happened next speaks volumes about the warmth and generosity of the staff. When it came time to pay, Paolo graciously refused to accept any money, despite our insistence. It was a beautiful example of Italian hospitality and a moment I will never forget. Paolo, thank you so much for making this trip so special for me and my family. This was more than just a dessert; it was a perfect, unforgettable experience to end our...
Read moreThe food was great, the ambiance was modern, but the service was lacking. It's a fantastic meal and the flavors are amazing, but for $100+/person, you'd expect your food to come on time and for the servers to be at the top of their game. The service and attention we started with quickly deteriorated after our first main dish. The restaurant filled up and suddenly our waitress became a waiter, then the host, then the bus boy, and so on and so forth. We waited around a bit long for our main course - the amberjack fish and roasted beef was divine - which by then we were starting to get full from waiting.
The flavors here are great. Some dishes shine in their simplicity, some in their complexity. One or two were a bit much or a bit shy, but for 95% of the food, it was beautiful and delicious. Compliments to the kitchen for what they create.
Unfortunately, besides the service, the one caveat is that the tiramisu will not blow your mind. I heard that perhaps it's due to new mgmt not being as interested in making it the restaurant's main dish. Anyway, we've had better tiramisu. Not 100% if the mascarpone had enough egg...
Read moreClaim to be where the tiramisu was invented, expected it to be a homey cozy kinda of establishment but turns out to be a middle to high end restaurant. The restaurant has no problem with people just coming and sitting down for a tiramisu and a drink, very friendly waiter that speaks decent English.
Ordered 2 tiramisu for my partner and I, a macchiato and a glass of white wine; Tiramisu is not one with strong flavours, instead of coffee liqueur they use quite a mild tasting coffee, impeccable texture for the egg cream and rich cocoa. This is a tiramisu perfect for people who doesn't like coffee or desserts that are too sweet, along with a coffee makes the perfect afternoon.
Also one of the best coffees ive had in my stay in Treviso, and a wide selection of house wines.
The restaurant is located within a cave of buildings walled with 3 sides of the classic colourful italian architecture, a quiet corner of the city, immaculate atmosphere and definitely...
