Nonna Lia is a dessert shop that specializes in tiramisu and semifreddo. While handcrafted with quality traditional ingredients such as mascarpone cheese and ladyfinger biscuits, they take a fresh approach to this traditional Italian dessert by offering unique variations such as matcha, hazelnut chocolate, earl grey, strawberry, pistachio, and mango passionfruit.
The matcha tiramisu had a pronounced matcha flavour but the bitterness of the matcha was balanced by the sweet creamy mascarpone cheese and the airy layers of ladyfinger biscuits.
They can be found sharing a location with Legend Tea in Richmond Hill's Times Square. At $19-$22, these tiramisu (which some in a nicely packaged container complete with matching leather-like bow around it) are definitely a premium product with a premium price. It's worthwhile to try ordering through UberEats for pickup as the prices were discounted ~$4-$5 lower than the posted retail price.
Can't wait to return try some of the other flavours. read more
