AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Forattini’s tiramisù classico earns singular praise, a creamy, coffee-kissed finale that defines the intimate, home-style warmth of the entire meal.
“This is a very good tiramisù. It's compact, not liquid, with a nice two-layer structure. The coffee is well balanced, not too sweet. I would have liked to taste the mascarpone a bit more — it's delicate, but I want that punch. The portion is huge for €8, enough for two or even three people. The packaging is a nice box. Overall, a solid tiramisù, but missing a bit of mascarpone kick.”
