Italian Barista Café

Italian Barista Café

 
 
 
An Italian restaurant and café  in Al Mawalih. It was started last year. the restaurant is offering wide range of Italian foods and some American foods also, such as : pizza, pasta, burgers, mini burgers and different types of salads.
 
 
As a refresh after mid-terms pressure, my friends and I suddenly decided to not attend our classes at 12 PM and have a lunch together.  Actually Barista was the best for us at that moment because of time limitation and we have to be at the university 2 PM.
 
 
 
The menu
 
we have ordered three different dishes, Dynamite Fries, Fettuccine Alfredo, Barista Pasta and Caesar Salad. For drinks, Cola, Lemon Mint and Karak Tea.
 
 
 


 Dynamite Fries 2.800 OR
 
Fettuccine Alfredo 3.200 OR
 
 
Barista Pasta 3.600 OR
 
 


Caesar Salad 3.000 OR
 
 
 
Lemon Mint Meduium 1.800 OR

 
Karak Tea 1.000 OR
 
The Dynamite Fries so delicious, well cooked and its flavors mixture was balanced. Barista Pasta was delicious too and the souse was amazing. Actually I fall in love with Fettuccine Alfredo although I was very replete when I ate it.




 
 
 
The total billing for 3 Dynamite Fries, 1 Fettuccine Alfredo, 2 Barista Pasta and 2 Caesar Salad, 7 Colas, 1 Lemon Mint and 1 Karak Tea was 31.800 OR.

Gamberetti
For starters we selected a Gamberetti served in a martini glass and a Fromage de Chevre.
The sauce over the Gamberetti wasn’t very spicy yet it tasted good and the shrimps were well cooked, the Fromage de Chevre had an impressive presentation and it tasted even better. Only the starter portion sizes weren’t enough for the three of us.

Pizza Regina
Pictured is the medium size Regina pizza as main course which consisted of mozzarella cheese, smoked cheese, sliced beef, onion, bell pepper, potatoes, little cherry tomatoes and arugula leaves as toppings. Baked to perfection, this pizza had Tahra and me fighting for the last slice.

Italian Style Burger

 
The service was excellent and our waitress was extremely patient, yet alert as we took ages to decide on a dessert. Finally we chose just two macaroons; Chocolate and Passion Fruit which were exceptionally delish! Just the right amount of sweet to end our tasty meal.
