In La Trattoria, we also celebrate family recipes which bring us together around the table.
As a kid at family gatherings, restaurateur Giovanni Labbate always used to especially look forward to dessert! His favorite was his parents’ firmer textured version of tiramisù which stiffened its traditional mascarpone layers with whipped cream cheese. For bolder flavor, consider brewing your espresso extra dark!
