iO Italian Osteria

Not bad!

The perfect balance of sweet and espresso with a twist of pistachio. This tiramisu will always be my dessert or choice whenever I'm in the area.

Bottom: Diavola #pizza, pork sausage, mushrooms, cheese, tomato sauce. Very good!

This was an absolute favourite on the table, garnering squeals of delight from everyone upon trying it! Complete melts in your mouth and it's just so light! Must try! $14 and worth it!

The fact that it lacks the familiar yet overwhelming taste of liqueur is what I love most about iO Italian Osteria’s Pistachio Tiramisu ($14). Dusted with pistachio atop, the layer of mascarpone was surprisingly fluffy and light. The coffee soaked ladyfingers too, held the same textural experience with the added punch of bittersweetness in each delicious forkful. Though the nutty flavour of pistachio was not pronounced, it worked really well as a delicate “pick me up” - moist, not too sweet and simply melt-in-your-mouth.

The Pistachio Tiramisu was perfectly flavoured and miraculously rich tiramisu cake with ladyfingers infused with bittersweet coffee, liqueur, layered in creamy filling and ends with a pistachio crunch on the top layer 😋. .

My favorite was the unique and very tasty homemade stuffed schiacitta that was crisp yet dense bread filled with melted cheese and truffle. The pork belly was amazingly tender and the skin was very crisp (imagine that wonderful crackling sound when cut) altho certain parts were not as crispy and stuck to our teeth (:/). The stuffing of wild fennel vegetables added extra flavor to the meat, making it a highly enjoyable dish. Also enjoyed the prawn pasta with its tasty savory tomato sauce and smooth, creamy #bruschetta with fresh rockets and tomato. The #pistachiotiramisu was unique and very creamy with rich rum flavor but the pistachio flavor wasn’t very strong. The only let down dish was the #beefcarpaccio that was cut a bit too thick making it a bit too chewy.

However there's a critical component here that missing which is the Alcohol Tia Maria - a dark liqueur made originally in Jamaica using Jamaican coffee beans. 🍾
It's basically like having sex without foreplay, the feel, oomph & expectation ain't there. A wannabe superficial model flirting endlessly with you talking about all her Sexperience only for you to find out that it's her fantasy, but you still wouldn't mind to make it into a reality for her. 🔖

I quite like the custard as it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. But the pistachio was pretty mild, making it a rather underwhelming dessert for me.
