Who doesn't love desserts, right? This is a gelato parlour located in JBR walk. They also serve some sorbets.  It is a small place, but I really liked it since the staff was courteous. Our server Lakshmi helped us with the flavours.  We had the special of the day - Nutella with mascarpone cheese . The two flavours together complemented  each other very well. It was not overly sweet; it was creamy. The other gelato that we had was a combination of two - the tiramisu and the caramelized bisquit . Tiramisu in the form of a gelato was something interesting and it tasted great. Along with that, the caramel tasted quite sweet. Overall, we enjoyed this one too.  We also had a sorbet - the s trawberry flavoured. Sometimes these simple flavours also don't fail to impress you. It was not overly sour and that's what I liked.  They also have some nuts to munch on, in case you've had a sweetness overload.  You can have some coffees here as well. I...

This is an authentic Italian restaurant in old city walk. Not only the food, but even the look and feel of this place is Italian. During Ramadan, they're having the "La Familia" iftar and they invited my to try it out.  The Iftar is for AED 149 , and includes a very tempting spread of antipasti, a selection of Nepolitan Pizzas, a selection of Risotto and Pasta, a daily chef's creation of main course, and desserts.  Among the antipasti, do not miss out on the Parmesan cheese wheel , that will leave you wanting for more.  A post shared by Famished Explorer [ UDIT ] (@uditss) on May 24, 2018 at 4:12am PDT In general, this place is a haven for cheese lovers. There also the Burrata which is one of the best that I've had. The calamari was crispy and really good. Worth a try for sea-food lovers.  The lasagne was really flavourful. It wasn't too lumpy lumpy or dry like many places, but made really well.  Even the foccacia...

Italian Chocolate... it doesn't get any simpler than this. Did I say "simpler"; I meant 'sinful'. We were in the neighbourhood for some dinner when we noticed this Italian dessert place. When my friend saw the name, she immediately recognized it as the place she used to visit in Italy. It's the real deal! As soon as you step in, you see the lovely display of various bakery items and also the chocolate tap. That's when you know that this is going to be really good. The interiors feel cozy and at the same time classy.         We were spoilt for choice. The menu includes waffles, chocolate shots, gelato, crepes, coffees, speciality coffees, various types of hot chocolate (Yes, types), and much more. As you can see, we were spoilt for choice. After much pondering we decided on a few - Tortino caldo al cioccolato, waffle con gelato, and a cappuccino. The tortino caldo al cioccolato consists of a warm chocolate fondant cake ...
