The Best Tiramisù in Rome for Takeaway

In my opinion, you cannot come to Italy and especially Rome without trying tiramisù. This classic Italian dessert is made with coffee soaked ladyfingers and a creamy mixture of mascarpone, egg yolk, and sugar, all dusted with cocoa powder. While you can find it on almost every restaurant menu in Rome, tiramisù has also made its way into the street food scene. The city now has several small, hole in the wall takeaway spots where you can grab a daily sweet treat while wandering the centre of Rome. In this blog post, I have tested all of these places for you, so you can skip the ones that are only hype and go straight to the best takeaway tiramisù in Rome.

Where to Find the Best Freshly Made Mochi in Rome

Now, I don’t know about you guys, maybe I’m just a little weird, but when it comes to food cravings, I definitely go through phases. I’ve had my double-stuffed Oreo phase, my salty popcorn phase, my sour candy phase, and my latest one is oddly specific too: mochi.

If you’re not familiar with it, mochi is a soft and chewy Japanese rice cake made from glutinous rice that’s pounded into a smooth, sticky dough, which is then used to make the most delicious desserts. Personally, I’m obsessed with the chewy texture, and I used to always buy the boxed ones from my favourite Korean supermarket in Rome. For research purposes, I went on a hunt through Rome to find the best freshly made mochi by bakeries and pastry shops, and I can tell you, I was not disappointed.
