Treviso is a mild variety of radicchio that ranges in size from a small Belgian endive to a large head of Romaine lettuce. The leaves are deep purple to red with white veins and overlap one another tightly to form a compact bunch that is similar in shape to Belgian endive. Treviso's crisp, sturdy leaves offer an earthy, bitter edge much milder in flavour than the more mature Treviso tardivo. Cooking will also further mellow the bitter flavour of Treviso.
