The interactive cooking concept lets the Vapianisti (the chefs) fulfil each person’s gastronomic fancies. Quality, freshness and transparency, though, are a priority. This is why all the food is being handcrafted from scratch daily in every restaurant, from the 11 kinds of pasta and various sauces to dressings and desserts. The pasta used are freshly made on site everyday. The pasta manifattura has glass walls, so you can see them knead the freshest ingredients. The pizza dough, also prepared from scratch at the venue, is 100 per cent vegetarian. Visit Vapiano at Level One of Bahrain City Centre. E Call 17 491-391. New on the Menu This month Vapiano introduces a fresh set of specials: l Insalata di cocomero con mozzarella: a refreshing mix of watermelon and fresh mozzarella cubes garnished with pine nuts, this salad is served with a pesto bruschetta. l Pasta tonno: If you love tuna, then this is the pasta for you! The Italian staple is tossed with fresh tuna, spinach leaves and your favourite tomato sauce. l Pizza alfredo bianco: Alfredo takes a whole new form in this pizza.

Here is a place where it is just like being at a friend’s house for dinner.
