Signature dessert
Trompe-l'œil Lemon
12€
Our signature dessert — loved by young and old alike.
Lemon mousse in two textures, whipped ganache, lemon heart, crunchy crumble.
Spectacular trompe-l'œil creations and great Italian classics — lemon, cocoa pod, Nofamisù with homemade gianduja, Torta Caprese. All prepared with care by our team.
Our trompe-l'œil desserts have become one of the house signatures. A lemon in exact lemon form, which reveals — once cut — a lemon mousse in two textures, a whipped ganache and a tangy heart. A cocoa pod with a crunchy shell hiding a praline mousse and a nocciolata heart.
Alongside these creations, we also offer great classics revisited: the Nofamisù, our version of Tiramisù with homemade gianduja shavings; the Torta Caprese, the traditional chocolate and almond cake from Capri, served with salted butter caramel and whipped cream.
"A dessert should tell a story. Here, it tells of Italy, of contrasting textures, of the pleasure of surprise. It's the moment when the guest's smile appears as they discover what's inside."
Two spectacular creations, entirely homemade — a lemon that isn't, a cocoa pod with a crunchy shell. To be discovered one spoonful at a time.
Our house Tiramisù with homemade gianduja shavings, and the Torta Caprese — the traditional cake from Capri, the "Italian brownie".
A trompe-l'œil is not a decoration. It's a construction. You need a precise mould to achieve the form, a crunchy shell that reproduces the outer texture, and inside a play of contrasting textures — mousses, ganaches, creams, crumbles — revealed when cut.
Our lemon has the exact shape of a lemon, down to the small imperfections of the skin. Our cocoa pod looks like a real pod with its rough coating. That moment when you break the shell is what gives all the pleasure — and that's exactly what we're after.
Our classics — Nofamisù and Torta Caprese — are held to the same standard: the gianduja is homemade, so is the salted butter caramel, and the whipped cream is made to order. No shortcuts.
Enjoy your dessert with a coffee, a Limoncello Spritz or a signature cocktail. All our cocktails are also available in alcohol-free versions.
