Ingredient appreciation — what makes Tiramisu special

What sets Tiramisu apart is the handling of aged balsamic. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the bright and tomatoey result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

ingredient simplicity and quality are the guiding principles. The a family trattoria in Rome atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had limoncello after the meal as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Tiramisu is the place to start.
