The story the reviews tell
Sogginess is the crime reviewers prosecute most — the dip-time debate is conducted in seconds. Cream-added versions get flagged as imposters with genuine indignation, and the espresso's quality is described as audible in the finished spoonful.
What makes this version distinct
The Treviso original from Le Beccherie is a discipline: savoiardi dipped in espresso — briefly, a dunk not a drowning — layered with mascarpone lightened only by egg, dusted with cocoa. No whipped cream, no liqueur in the canonical version. The texture target is a spoon passing through cloud that still remembers being layers.
