Strawberry TIRAMISU
While traditional layer cakes keep their secrets hidden until the first slice is served, desserts in a glass are completely transparent, just like the glass that holds them. Verrines first appeared in France in the 1990s, but over the following decades they spread across the globe. This “vertical” dessert, created by chef Philippe Conticini, completely changed the rules of presentation at the table. It can be indulgent yet light at the same time. Beautiful to look at, delicious to enjoy, and even fun to prepare, it makes room for silky creams and plenty of fresh fruit. Every great invention, however, must find a way to coexist with culinary tradition. And so, by bringing together memory and innovation, past and present, countless new ideas have flourished, recipes inspired by the timeless classics of pastry making.
Tiramisu, one of Italy’s most beloved desserts, traces its origins to a long-standing rivalry between two northern Italian regions: Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. Its name comes from ingredients traditionally believed to be energizing, nourishing, and even aphrodisiac, according to a famous legend. Eggs and coffee are therefore essential in the classic recipe, but our Strawberry Tiramisu is a dessert in a glass and, for that very reason, free to explore new textures and unexpected pairings. We are sure it will win you over with its bright colors and cheerful charm.

Chocolate ICE CREAM SANDWICH with gianduia spread

There may be no mystery behind its origins, but there's plenty of flavor and just as much fame behind this refreshing dessert. Our version combines chocolate ice cream, Gianduia Spread, and toasted hazelnut pieces to bring you right back to those carefree summer afternoons.
RISOTTO ALLA PARMIGIANA with crispy guanciale and balsamic dressing

The origin of this dish, however, is not only noble, because its soul is both aristocratic and popular. It is served in gourmet restaurants and in the most rustic trattorias. It belongs to everyone and everyone loves it, just like us, and we can’t wait to hear how your risotto turned out!
