Craving tiramisu? The first Hamilton location of a popular Italian dessert spot from Toronto might fit the bill. 

Nonna Lia is open now in Hamilton at 1045 King Street West close to McMaster University, housed within the tasty bubble tea spot OneZo Tapioca. 

The business specializes in authentic Italian desserts with a focus on tiramisu: the traditional Italian treat that sees coffee-soaked ladyfingers topped with sweet mascarpone cheese and cocoa powder. 

While Nonna Lia features a classic take on tiramisu, they also get more creative with variations including marsala wine, matcha, mango & passionfruit, strawberry, Thai tea, Earl Grey, pistachio, and ube & coconut.

If you’re not feeling tiramisu, this dessert spot also offers gelato bars in flavours like raspberry & white chocolate, black sesame matcha, lemon, and pistachio; plus treats like indulgent semifreddo, an Italian version of ice cream cake.

Nonna Lia first launched in Toronto in 2020 and has been a popular spot for Italian sweets ever since, expanding to other cities like Mississauga, Oakville, Etobicoke, Brampton, and Hamilton.
