Unfortunately, the journey there turned into quite an adventure of its own. Ever since we left home, we seemed to be stuck behind one frustrating driver after another, each somehow managing to block traffic in the most inconvenient ways possible. And just as our hunger pangs were becoming impossible to ignore, we got stuck behind yet another driver who had blocked the entire crossroad barely 200 metres from our destination. At that point, patience was definitely running low.
Thankfully, after finally making our way out of the jam, we arrived at Mirabelle and headed straight in to place our order. We started with a couple of chilled drinks—an Iced Caramel Macchiato and an Iced Shaken White Mocha—which were perfect companions for the warm afternoon.
For starters, we ordered the Polo Di Spinaci, a delicious beginning to the meal. The mains featured a Polo Picante Pasta and a Cappelletti-e-Olio Pizza, both of which were absolutely satisfying. The real highlight for me, though, was undoubtedly the Polo Picante sauce. It was rich, flavourful, and honestly so good that I’m half tempted to go back just to convince them to share the recipe.
One interesting detail we noticed for the first time was that all the plates and serving dishes were either pink or green. Naturally, I came up with my own little theory that it was a “his & hers” concept. Curious to know if I was right, I asked our server—and to my delight, my deduction was confirmed.
By the end of the meal, we were far too full to even consider dessert. However, that didn’t stop us from admiring Mirabelle’s signature Tiramisu as it was being served to the table next to us. It looked absolutely irresistible and instantly made us regret not saving a little room.
Lesson learnt: next time, no matter what we order, we are definitely keeping space for dessert.
