Toscano Honors Tiramisu's Legacy with Classic Amaretto Tiramisu

Tiramisu, made from coffee-soaked biscuits, mascarpone cheese, eggs, and sugar, is a staple in Italian cuisine. The dessert’s name, meaning “pick me up” in Italian, reflects its energizing qualities. Although its exact origins are debated, Ado Campeol’s restaurant is commonly recognized as the birthplace of this iconic dish.

Toscano pays tribute to tiramisu's origins with its new Classic Amaretto Tiramisu. This dessert features a rich combination of fresh double espresso and Kahlúa syrup, giving it a strong coffee flavor. The dessert is made with a creamy blend of pâte à bombe, Natura creame, and premium mascarpone cheese, resulting in a smooth, luxurious texture. To enhance the experience, Toscano adds a crunchy topping of coffee blend sugar-coated nuts and a scoop of indulgent coffee ice cream.

Guests can enjoy this classic Italian treat at any of Toscano's three Pune locations: Phoenix Mall of the Millennium in Wakad, Amanora Mall, and Koregaon Park.

Visit any of Toscano's three Pune outlets – Wakad at Phoenix Mall of the Millennium, Amanora Mall, or Koregaon Park – and savor the flavors of Italy with their Classic Amaretto Tiramisu.
