Best Tiramisu in Rome with My Tiramisu-Inspired Handmade Dress

Greetings, fellow wanderers and fashion enthusiasts! If you’re someone who loves to mix the flavors of travel and sewing, you’re in for a treat. Join me as I design my tiramisu-inspired dress for an unforgettable Roman escapade. Get ready to dive into the creative process while discovering three iconic spots in Rome with the best tiramisu.

Stitching Elegance: Sewing My Tiramisu Dress

The idea of a dress paying homage to the iconic dessert dish was born as i started to dream about all the Italian foods I was going to eat. I sketched out a very detailed design lol (at the same time that I sketched out a design for my spaghetti inspired dress: link coming soon) and voila off to the fabric store…

I looked for a fabric that mirrored the essence of tiramisu. The rich layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, velvety mascarpone, and a dusting of cocoa was the inspiration. I opted for a combination of creamy beige base and a sparkling sheer fabric that resembles the rich coffee shades.

The sewing/assembly of this dress was pretty straight forward. I created a simple body con dress as the slip using a vintage pattern we had around the house. Then I added the elegant glitter over coat. Both layers evoking the dessert’s creamy and coffee-laden layers and bringing a touch of elegance to the dress. But mind you the process wasn’t very elegant as there was glitter ALL OVER THE HOUSE.

I absolutely love how it turned out and how there’s an elegant shimmer as I moved. The result was a dress with the sophistication of the dessert while embodying the spirit of Roman fashion. And voila, here’s the final result!

Indulging in Tiramisu Dreams: Top Three Places to Buy Tiramisu in Rome

I literally love tiramisu so much and I can tell you that some places in Rome only had mediocre tiramisu… So here are three must-visit spots that will make it worth the trip.

1. Pompi

Known as the “Home of Tiramisu,” Pompi has been perfecting this dessert since 1960. Their classic Tiramisu Pompi is a delightful blend of velvety mascarpone, coffee-soaked sponge, and a sprinkle of cocoa. With multiple locations across Rome (and Italy), you’re never far from a slice of tiramisu perfection. This is the tiramisu I was eating in the photos!

2. Two Sizes

For a modern twist on this classic dessert, head to Two Sizes. Their innovative Tiramisu Flavors Lab offers a variety of tiramisu interpretations, from classic to exotic. Try flavors like pistachio, strawberry, or even matcha, and prepare for a tiramisu like no other. We went here multiple times on our trip and it was a late night guilty pleasure.

3. Il Dolce

Tucked in the heart of Trastevere, Il Dolce is a charming bakery that crafts tiramisu with love and tradition. Their Tiramisu Classico captures the essence of the dessert’s original flavors, leaving you with a nostalgic and satisfying experience.
