It’s an iconic Italian dessert but not all tiramisus are made equal. To experience the best tiramisu in Rome you have to know what to look for. Choosing one that has the right texture, ingredients, and espresso is essential for an enjoyable experience.
Whether you’re looking for a quick takeaway to enjoy as you walk through the streets of Rome, or you’re more interested in restaurants that serve tiramisu in Rome, there are plenty of options available to you. While classic tiramisu is served everywhere, you might want to try out some of the more unique flavours of tiramisu that are served around the city as well. Here’s where to find some of the best tiramisu in Rome.
Best tiramisu in Rome
Two Sizes
Two Sizes is very well known for having some of the best tiramisu in Rome. They’re located around the corner from Piazza Navona, so you can enjoy your dessert while taking in the beauty of the square. Their tiramisus are available in two sizes, which is ideal if you want either a small taste or a larger serving to indulge in. Beyond the classic tiramisu, they also serve modern variations such as caramel and pistachio. And, you can keep your cup as a little souvenir of Rome too!
Tiramisu Merisu
Tratevere is known for its authentic Roman atmosphere and its eateries. If there’s one place you need to try tiramisu at in Trastevere, it’s Tiramisu Merisu. This modern but cozy tiramisu spot offers a wide variety of flavours, from traditional tiramisu to Nutella and fruit-infused flavours. Their tiramisus are known for their creamy textures and perfectly balanced espresso. There are a few spots to sit inside at Tiramisu Merisu, but it’s not a bad idea to order it to go so you can explore Trastevere while you eat.
Da Enzo
Da Enzo is a very popular traditional restaurant in Trastevere that’s famous for its handmade pasta dishes such as carbonara. However, they make a pretty good tiramisu as well. Their handmade tiramisu is bursting with authentic flavour, and the portion size is very generous too. There’s usually a queue at Da Enzo as they don’t accept bookings, but they’ll gladly give you a tiramisu to take away so you don’t need to stand around for too long. This isn’t the cheapest place for dessert, but it ranks highly among the best tiramisu in Rome.
Mr. 100 Tiramisu
Just a short walk from the Pantheon is Mr. 100 Tiramisu. There are 100 variations of tiramisu on offer here, ranging from classic tiramisu to matcha and Ferrero Rocher tiramisu. With so many options on the menu, it can be quite overwhelming, so I’d recommend viewing their menu before you visit to give you a better idea about what to order.
Mr. 100 Tiramisu has both indoor and outdoor seating areas, and they also offer takeaway containers. Many people say that the best tiramisu in Rome comes from Mr. 100 Tiramisu, and it’s very hard to disagree.
Pasta Imperiale
Monti is a beautiful neighbourhood to walk around, and it has plenty of places to eat as well. Pasta Imperiale is a very unimposing budget-friendly restaurant in Rome that serves a fantastic selection of fresh pasta dishes. The tiramisu at Pasta Imperiale is one of the best we tried in Rome though. They use high-quality mascarpone that pairs very well with the espresso and cocoa on top. I’d recommend coming to Pasta Imperiale for dinner, when you can get a meal deal that includes their tiramisu and a drink for a set price.
Pompi
People looking to try the best tiramisu in Rome often go to Pompi first. This famous tiramisu spot has a few locations across the city, including near the Trevi Fountain and Piazza Colonna. The rich and creamy texture of their tiramisu is perfectly balanced with the espresso flavour, and they offer different variations outside of the classic tiramisu.
Pompi’s tiramisu comes served in handy takeaway containers which makes it perfect for enjoying while strolling through the streets of Rome.
