Granita is a cherished Italian dessert. Its smooth, velvety texture contrasts sharply with the icy slushies many know. Pidapipo elevates this tradition with freshly whipped cream and chocolate sauce atop the cacao-based granita. The Brioche Col Tuppo, a soft, dome-shaped brioche made in-house, pairs perfectly. This bread is meant for dipping into the granita, creating a delightful taste experience.
