The cuisine of Italy is probably the world’s favourite of all, with staple dishes from the country being served across the Western and Eastern hemispheres. No wonder, then, that Bahrain, an island full of foodies and gourmets, has a great range of restaurants serving Italian fare to suit all occasions and budgets. Italian food is often misunderstood as being laden with cheese, drenched with sauce and, more often than not, comprising only pizza, pasta and sometimes a stodgy risotto. If you experience some of the better-known Italian restaurants in Bahrain, you’ll find that there is so much more to the cuisine than what is peddled by global fast food chains. Let’s start at the apex of superior dining that is Adliya. This locality is practically brimming with restaurants, many of which offer Italian fare. The eatery that deserves the first mention is La Pergola by Perbellini housed at the Gulf Hotel Bahrain. This is a recently relaunched dining spot, one that still holds old ground when it comes to excellent tastes and flavours of Italy. Si Grazie! italiandining 64 October 2018 www.bahrainthismonth.com
