Osteria Via Stato’s homemade tiramisu layers mascarpone cream with espresso-softened ladyfingers and cocoa. Its appeal comes from the familiar combination of creamy richness, coffee bitterness, and a tender cake layer. The dessert is designed as a traditional ending to a full Italian meal and has a soft, spoonable consistency. Diners have singled it out as one of the stronger parts of the restaurant’s classic dessert selection.
