15Tiramisù – Veneto

Tiramisù is arguably Italy’s most famous dessert, and its roots trace back to the Veneto region, specifically the city of Treviso. This beloved treat is made from layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, cocoa powder, and sometimes a hint of liqueur. Its name means “pick me up,” which perfectly describes the energizing combination of coffee and sugar.

Although it’s served all over Italy today, tasting tiramisù in its birthplace feels special. Local cafés often prepare it fresh daily, and many stick closely to traditional recipes without heavy additions. It’s creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced — a true Italian classic.
