The Italian restaurant credited with inventing Tiramisù – one of the most famous desserts in the world – is to close down as Italy’s financial crisis continues to take its toll.
Family-run restaurant Le Beccherie in Treviso, northern Italy, which first opened its doors in 1939, will take its last orders on March 30th, Corriere della Sera reported on Thursday.
In the 1970s, the restaurant’s former owners Ada and Aldo Campeol and pastry chef Roberto Linguanotto were credited with inventing one of Italy’s most famous culinary exports – Tiramisù.
Translating literally as “pick-me-up”, the creamy coffee-flavoured dessert consists of ladyfingers dipped in coffee layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar and mascarpone cheese flavoured with cocoa.
Despite the dessert’s roaring international success the business is now set to close.
