Tiramisù Zum

Centro Storico


The ideal spot for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, this fab dessert bar specialises in tiramisu, that magnificent marriage of mascarpone and liqueur-soaked biscuits. Choose between the classic version with its cocoa powdering or one of several tempting variations, flavoured with rum, forest fruits or Sicilian pistachio nuts.
