Tiramisu Takes the Spotlight: Piola Celebrates National Tiramisu Day with Sweet Sips and Decadent Dishes

Leave it to an Italian family from Treviso to make National Tiramisu Day in Miami feel like a homecoming. South Florida’s beloved Italian eatery Piola is turning March 21 into more than just a date on the calendar—it’s becoming a celebration of heritage, indulgence, and interactive dining, all wrapped up in the layered perfection of Italy’s most iconic dessert.

This year, Piola is offering an elevated way to toast the holiday, with a three-day tiramisu tasting experience (March 21–23) and tiramisu-making classes that come with bottomless Prosecco and all-you-can-eat mini pizzas. Whether you're a devout dessert lover or someone who can't resist a glass of bubbly, this event blends the best of Italian tradition and Miami flair.

Available at all Piola locations, the Tiramisu Tasting Trio is a thoughtfully curated flight featuring three flavors:

• Classic Tiramisu, the timeless espresso-soaked favorite;

• Strawberry Tiramisu, a berry-forward riff with fresh, fruity notes;

• Pistachio Tiramisu, a nutty, subtly sweet twist on the original.

Each one offers a different take on the dessert that translates literally to “pick-me-up”—and at Piola, that’s exactly the experience they aim to deliver.

For those who want to go beyond tasting and try their hand at crafting this Italian treasure, Piola Brickell (1250 S Miami Ave) is hosting two Tiramisu Cooking Classes on March 21, at 5:00 PM and 7:30 PM. For $55 per person, guests will learn the secrets behind each flavor’s perfect texture and balance—all while enjoying a bottomless pour of Prosecco and a free-flowing spread of mini pizzas. You can sign up here to reserve your spot.

This immersive culinary moment isn’t just about dessert—it’s about connection. It’s also personal. The Carniato family, who founded Piola’s first U.S. location in Miami over two decades ago, hails directly from Treviso, the very birthplace of tiramisu. Keeping it on the menu is more than a nod to tradition—it’s an edible love letter to where it all began.

While Miami’s food scene thrives on trend-driven innovation, Piola has long been a staple for those seeking the authentic comfort of Italy’s cucina. Their version of tiramisu has stood the test of time—not as a gimmick, but as an enduring classic, handcrafted with care and served with purpose. On National Tiramisu Day, they’re not reinventing the wheel—they’re inviting guests to savor it more intimately.

So whether you’re in the mood to sip, scoop, or stir, Piola’s celebration of this iconic dessert promises a slice of Italy without leaving Miami. And for those looking to raise a fork to heritage and hedonism alike—there’s never been a better time.
