The spumiglia earns singular, rapturous praise, its airy, delicate texture stealing the spotlight. Overall, the vibe is one of quiet, reverent delight in simple, masterful pastry craft.
“The spumiglia — this cloudy, foamy meringue. In Venice there's an important history, especially its two main declinations: the main meringue evolves into 'baci su gondola', a marketing operation — two meringues caressed by a veil of chocolate. And a more historical meringue: 'fave dei morti' — the Romans during the days of the dead ate fava beans, and the Venetians, cleverer, translated those beans into meringues colored like the beans: the flower of the fava is white → white meringue; the fava itself is green → green meringue; the beans in soak color the water reddish → reddish meringue. This heart is the softest, most chewable part — it gets stuck in your teeth and hugs you until you die of joy or choking, one of the two. Your mouth gets powdered from Dal Mas. The spumiglia costs €3.50 at Dal Mas — go there and take whatever you want. If you like meringue, I'm greedy, I only took the heart. Now it's all stuck to my palate.”
