CUPOLA 📍GEMMAYZE
So where should I take you for lunch today? Hmmm… maybe you are in the mood for some Italian food? Yeah? All right then, let’s go check Cupola, Gemmayze's newest restaurant, which offers a very chic and charming atmosphere with delicious food.
For lunch, it is definitely more enjoyable to sit outside since your pet can join you! I'm already in love with the interior, it's very minimal and the beige and white colors send relaxing and pleasant vibes. The street the restaurant is on is also lovely and it even feels like you are somewhere in Europe.
Obviously, Iris and I had the best time together. Although they offer a range of traditional Italian dishes, the twist is that their dishes offer a burst of flavor, authenticity, and a lot of love. We can say that this place is a food lover's perfect option since everything is prepared with fresh and high-quality ingredients.
The menu is a bit limited for an Italian restaurant because, for the main course, they only offer pizza and pasta. We tried the quinoa salad; it was fresh and colorful but a bit dry! We also ordered the beetroot salad with goat cheese, I personally love beetroot and I love goat cheese, so it’s a big fat yes for me! The Penne Arabiatta will always be a good old classic, and I highly recommend it if you are looking for something spicy. & if you are a ham lover, the Rigatoni pasta with Ham and Mushrooms is a must-order.
From the oven, we tried the Pizza Tartufata with creamy truffle sauce, surely worth the calories! it’s one yummy pizza to try, only it doesn’t taste like truffle… Although it is the only dessert they have, their Tiramisu was heavenly and delicious!
The staff were super friendly but might lack a bit of experience. One of the negative aspects of this place is its location, I mean it's great if you come by on foot but if you come by car, it's not easy to find a parking spot in Gemmayze.
Overall, I think it was a good decision to stop at this restaurant for lunch. I was super happy; the food was delicious and the vibes were lovely. I recommend going there for lunch/dinner with family and friends or enjoying a romantic dinner.
