Pompi

Great! I’ve never tried a tiramisu as good as here. Especially loved the one with berries. For me, it’s even better than the traditional one.

Tiramisù in a cardboard box! That carboard box labelled with POMPI (with a crown on top of the O) can be easily spotted all over Piazza di Spagna although authorities have been clamping down on people eating on the Spanish Steps. Everyone coming out of Via della Croce seemed to have one thing in common — that Pompi cardboard box.
Pompi has been around since 1960 and several locations have started popping out in Rome. The original is in San Giovanni, but the one near the Spanish Steps was our destination. Since it was close to dinner time, we decided to go with the semi-​frozen tiramisùs that could be eaten in about 40 minutes. We bought a couple of flavors to sample out — the Classico (classic) and the Banana e Cioccolato (banana and chocolate). Fragola (strawberry), Pistacchio (pistachio), and Nocciola (hazelnut) were also available at that time. If our hotel were nearby, we would have kept on coming back until we have tried them all.
Our older daughter loves bananas so we had to try the banana and chocolate flavor. We’ve had that combination in the form of ice cream and it actually worked out well. Banana and peanut butter go hand in hand, but banana and dark chocolate are a handsome pair, too. The tiramisù version did not disappoint either. However, a taste of the classic flavor made me conclude that it is the reason why their logo wears a crown. The cocoa powder and the pieces of dark chocolate on top spelled a big difference. Both tiramisùs were light, rich, and flavorful. The ratio seemed to favor the mascarpone cream more than the savoiardi (ladyfingers), but they were tasty nonetheless.
Tiramisù was the clear-​cut specialty, but the Tiramisù Fragola gelato that I tried was delicious, too. It had a smooth texture with a rich and creamy strawberry taste. It was not part of the plan, but I guess the sight of those gelati as we entered the store was just too hard to resist.
There are other options to have tiramisù, but Pompi offers the most convenient way to have it on the fly. For 4 €, an order can be easily shared by two people. We are always encouraged to metaphorically think outside the box, but in this case, it’s what literally is inside the box that matters…

Approaching from the Spanish steps we were afraid this was a tourist trap as there were many people outside snapping selfies. The cashier asked if we wanted «ice cream.» BUT it was the best gelato we had in 4 days in Rome, and 4 days in other parts of Italy. Fabulous pistacchio and Tiramisu

The best tiramisu someone can find! Tasty, creamy and in 3 flavors! Veey close to piazza de spagna, dont miss it!!!

I came here with intentions of getting the tiramisu, but walked out with tiramisu and gelato. It was my last day in Italy, so why the hell not.
Pompi had a good selection of both fruit and chocolate gelatos. The lemon gelato I ordered turned out to be more like a sorbet, while the dark chocolate gelato was dense and rich. Absolute treat. I was also able to try my friend’s mango and mint chip gelato and both were equally delicious.
I had to wait a bit post gelato before I dug into my box of classic tiramisu. But Christ, this was delicious! I never had anything like this back in the States! The hazelnut tiramisu was quite tasty too. The takeaway box of tiramisu can definitely feed two, but one can easily devour the entire box.
On a side note, it was unfortunate that I was unable to enjoy my tiramisu on the Spanish Steps. I ate my tiramisu at a McDonalds…

It came to my attention that tiramisu originated in Rome, so of course I had to go find the best tiramisu in the city. The internet seemed to agree that Pompi has the best tiramisu, so I came by to try it. It comes in a box with a wrapped plastic spoon, and the tiramisu is indeed quite tasty. There’s too much cream and too little cake for my liking, but the cake is very very very moist and delicious, and the cream is quite creamy and smooth though a bit too sweet. I really wish there were more cake! The tiramisu is also quite big; it can definitely be shared among two or three people! Location is very convenient, right by the Spagna metro stop and the Spanish Steps. Definitely stop by if you’re a fan of tiramisu; for € 4 for the box, it’s not too expensive. I’ve also heard that you can ask for wine and it’s free. They also have other flavors, but I got the original!

Usually not a trimusu fan but when in Italy, you need to eat trimusu because it’s nothing like back home in the US. Trust me, it’s that good. It’s 4 EUR for a take away box of trimusu of one flavor or 8 EUR for a sample of 4 flavors. The 4 EUR is a much better deal in my opinion. Buy and eat on the Spanish Steps like everyone else. Located 2 blocks from the Spanga Metro stop.

Very easy location, touristic and famous place, close to Spanish steps. Every knows and suggests Pompi if you are going to Rome:) The place is in the narrow street with full of cafes and restaurants. To-​go is the only option.
Many kinds of tiramisu (strawberry, blackberry etc.) are available. I tasted tiramisu since it is the traditional and suggested one. Very usual taste. Price was 4 eur which is cheap for Rome. Actually I will not prefer to eat tiramisu once more. The best thing was to eat while sitting on the Spanish steps and feel the atmosphere.
I will try any other dessert for the next time.
The inner place needs to be renewed. And it would be nice if there is a place to sit outside.
Cakes (even birthday cakes) and ice cream are also available.

Next to Spanish steps. All gelato is not the same. This is great. I recommend the dark chocolate.

Stopped into Pompi while I was in Rome because I heard from a friend that the tiramisu is amazing. For 4 Euro I got a tiramisu that was big enough for two. But it was so delicious that I ate the whole thing myself! I went with the classic tiramisu, but there were many different flavors.
This Pompi location is right next to the Spanish Steps, so it is very convenient for tourists to go to. Pompi also has other desserts that looked tasty as well.

A € 4 piece of tiramisu that can easily be split between 2 people, or 1 if you feel like dieting is out of the question (you’re in Rome… treat yo’self!) — reason enough to come to Pompi.
Order at the register, get your receipt, and redeem with the nice person standing over the gelato/​tiramisu. Very easy! That’s how most quick service restaurants (including cafes) are in Italy.
My family split an original and strawberry. The ladyfinger: mascarpone ratio definitely skews more mascarpone, but it’s delicious regardless. I preferred the original, since the strawberry tasted more like a very delicate strawberry shortcake (still tasty, of course! Just not a whole lot of tiramisu flavor).
My mom liked Pompi so much that she came back and got gelato, which she really enjoyed. Can’t go wrong with anything here!

I’m sorry, I don’t get it.
Yes, tiramisus here are quite good (for € 4 each). There usually are several kinds, most of them permanent (classic, hazelnut, strawberry…) and 1 or 2 seasonal (piña colada during 2015 summer) — so everybody can find something they like (and if they don’t, Pompi also sells gelati).
But. IT SOOOO LOOKS LIKE FROZEN TIRAMISUS. I mean, the expiry date is in 3 to 4 MONTHS. And it is served in cardboard boxes that scream «just out of the plant». I could have trusted this place more with nice owners, but they also must be frozen — not a smile, not an advice on tiramisu flavors. Run away.

Okay, guys. This place has got the best tiramisu I’ve had in Italy. That’s either because:
1. Tourist traps– and honey badger– don’t care if it’s good enough since they’ll never see you again
or
2. One tiramisu a day for 10 days hasn’t been extensive enough of a search.
Either way, trust me when I say the portions are huge for 4 Euro and satisfying. This is one I’d be willing to share… But just a bite. (I might be Asian, but I’m made of American muscle and American appetite… Definitely not one of those cute lil Asian shits that share dessert and wear size 0. Or even worse, the kind that can’t get fat. Those are the worst.)
Anyway… This size is plenty to share IF:
1. You and your friend want to get two different kinds and go halfsies for double the pleasure, double the fun (…Doublemint Doublemint gum)
2. You’re just a fatass like me and want a dessert as big as your meal. «Moderation» would not be my interview answer to, «What is your greatest strength?»
Pay first and then go drop your ticket off at the dessert counter. Had zero problems with staff being rude as other Unilocalers mentioned– just know what you want before you go to the counter.
This place is located just north of the Spanish steps… Turn into the street by the green Pharmacia LED cross!
On that note, with this discovery I’ve found closure for this trip alas. Now back to America to lose the 10 pounds I gained on this trip.

For about 4 euro you get a ginormous serving of tiramisu and they have several flavors. I went with the original and it’s really too much for one person, but it’s delicious! Be warned that the tiramisu does come out of the fridge, so I don’t think it’s actually made here or anything. I think there’s other locations in the city, but this one is close to the Spanish Steps

So again the wife had done some «IG research» on where to eat and what to try in Rome. And surely saw a ton of pictures of this place.
So we had to try it.
After eating lunch we went off looking for it and found it easily since there was a crowd waiting to get into this place.
I was never really a fan of tiramisu but WOW this brilliant idea to make this wonderful dessert to go in a box and taste this good. I returned 2 more times during our trip.

One of the most memorable and enjoyable nights in Italy involved tiramisu from Pompi, fresh pasta from Pastificio and a nice seat on the Spanish Steps.
After walking around Italy for many days, trying to fit in all the sights, we decided to have a low key dinner and dessert on the Spanish Steps. The group of six of us went to Pompi for tiramisu and got one of each flavor (classic, strawberry, pistachio, banana and hazelnut). Split among the six of us, it was nicely priced and portioned.
We all had different favorites. I loved the strawberry the best. It was fresh, light and delicate. Actually, all of them were light and delicious. They weren’t overly sweet and dense like tiramisu in the States. I didn’t like banana as much as the rest, only because I don’t normally like banana flavored desserts.
This is tiramisu that I dream of. I wish I could find something similar in the States.

NECESITO que abran una sucursal en Argentina.
Fuimos porque nos llevó una amiga, y es sin dudas el mejor tiramisú que probé en la vida.
Eramos tres, y pedimos tres de los tipos de tiramisú que hay: un clásico, uno con frutillas y otro con pistachos. Los tres impresionantes, pero el clásico se llevó los laureles.
El café también es muy rico, el lugar es bastante grande, te atienden rápido y bien, y tiene muchos otros postres a demás del tiramisú que se veían muy bien (aunque éste es su producto estrella).
Nos quedamos con las ganas de volver.

Had to come here when I read about their Tiramisu. While it costs 4 $ it’s actually a pretty big portion and they have a bazillion flavors.
Pretty good!

I am a very big fan of tiramisù, and I heard that Pompi offers up some of the best in Roma. I stopped in after lunch and bought a large container of the classic flavor for only four euros.
This was the best tiramisù I’ve ever had, and doesn’t even compare to any that I’ve had in the States. Definitely an awesome culinary experience! Stop by if you’re near the Spanish Steps, great pick-​me-​up after a day of shopping!

I love Pompi’s tiramisu! For only 4 euros, you get this huge box of tiramisu. The tiramisu is light, not too sweet and creamy. There are four different tiramisu flavors: classic, strawberry, banana chocolate and hazelnut. My favorites were the classic and banana chocolate.
I would have given this place a higher rating, but I experienced really bad service on my first visit. The lady at the register was extremely rude to these two girls in front of me. It was obvious that the two girls were tourists as they were unable to speak Italian and spoke broken English. The lady at the register was very rude and impatient when the girls were trying their best to order given the circumstances. The workers here seemed as if they really did not like tourists, even though half of their profit is from tourists traveling to their stores for tiramisu. The workers here were very rude, unfriendly and unpleasant.
Other than that, I did enjoy the tiramisu. Just smile hard at them and kill ‘em with kindness. If that doesn’t make them any more cheerful, then I don’t know what would!
Tips:
–Pay at the register first and then show your ticket when you want to the order.
–Enjoy your tiramisu at the Spanish Steps, which is only a few steps away!

Pompi. LE roi du tiramisu a Rome. Tiramisu traditionnel au chocolat a tomber mais aussi aux fruits (suis moins preneur). J’ai connu le magasin près de la Stazione Termini mais depuis 2 ans, une autre magasin s’est ouvert pratiquement sur la place d’Espagne. Plus d’excuses pour né pas goûter.

Overpriced but worth a try! After a bit of indecisiveness (since there are so many flavors ranging from strawberry to pistachio) I finally opted for the classic tiramisu. Overall, it was creamy without being too sweet, complemented by just the right amount of bitterness from the coffee.

Il y a 4 ans, j’avais déjà testé le tiramisù de chez Pompi.
Mais cette année, je me suis rendue compte à quel point c’était loin du centre, mince … J’avais donc abandonné l’idée de regoûter ce chef-d’œuvre …
Et puis, en allant manger à Pastificio (
) un midi, je remarque quasi juste devant Pompi !! Youpi !
Résultat, on prend un tiramisù classique à 4 € pour 2 et on va le déguster sur la Plazza di Spagna, à deux pas !
Bön c’est un peu cher, certes, mais c’est vraiment bon.
Si on avait vu ce Pompi au début de notre séjour, on y serait retourné pour tester celui à la noisette (nocciola) ou celui aux fraises (fragole). Ils font même goût piña colada …
Bref, c’est une institution Pompi alors même si l’on né peut pas s’asseoir à l’intérieur, ça vaut le coup !
