Whilst shopping at Emporium, I got a bit peckish and walked around the food court and decided to try out Thr1ve. The menu caught my eye with all the healthy and tasty food so I lined up.
Thr1ve, Melbourne (Emporium)
Hung Phat, St Albans
Hung Phat use to be called Ha Long and is also now under new management. This is the gang’s usual spot for when we wanted to catch up over cheap food and welcome to stay as long as we like. However, this wasn’t the case when we went here on a saturday night. It was only 8PM and it was empty, hardly any customers and we got a table for 5 immediately. I ordered wonton soup with egg noodles (LOVE THEM WONTONS) and it was a bit below average.
Wonton Egg Noodle Soup
ITALY: Wonderful Ice Cream, Roma
Whilst in Italy, Mr D and I had been having A LOT of gelato (when I say a lot, I mean literally 3 times a day!) and we stumbled across Wonderful Ice Cream while shopping on the main road.
ITALY: La Cucina Nazionale, Roma
It was dinner time and Mr D and I promised ourselves we would stray from the main street but we were so tired we just dropped into the first place we saw – La Cucina Nazionale. Now, we were greeted warmly and that was about the service we got (step up your game Rome!). The interior was lovely and there was such a happy vibe and it cheered me up a bit.
ITALY: Bar Viminale, Roma
While wondering around I got peckish seeing as it was lunch time, I needed to eat and PRONTO. We found a bar around the corner from our hotel and it wasn’t really friendly or inviting but I needed my food fix.
ITALY: La Grotta Guelfa, Firenze (Florence)
For our last night in Florence I felt much better so we decided to venture into alleyways and steer away from the tourist main roads. I’m so glad we chose to do that because BAM we ran into La Grotta Guelfa and sure, it looks like every other pizza joint but I was too tired to go any further so in we went.
ITALY: Il Salimbecco, Firenze (Florence)
While wondering around Florence, it was dinner time and it was pouring down cats and dogs. We ducked into the first restaurant we saw and it was Il Salibecco and opted for indoors.
ITALY: Ristorante Da Sabrina, Venezia (Venice)
For our last night in Venice Mr D and I walked around the streets to find a super cute place for dinner. Mr D didn’t want to go since I forgot the map (oopsie daisies) and we landed at Ristorante Da Sabrina.
ITALY: Pizzeria Cip Ciap, Venice
While walking around Venice we walked by a cute pizza shop that had pizzas displayed out in the front.
ITALY: Al Giardinetto da Severino, Venice
We finally arrived in Venice and it was super late (not really super, maybe just 6PM..but I eat at grandma time!) so we asked the concierge at our hotel to recommend a place and they suggested Al Giardinetto da Severino which was literally down the road.
