Had been meaning to go to the original Dolce Sicily on Dawson Street for ages and finally got around to it on Sunday - only to discover it's a tiny spot & had a queue out the door!
We had to leave it in the end, and resigned to going another day. To my sheer delight and surprise walking by Crowbar (Button Factory) a second branch of Dolce Sicily has just opened! It's much more spacious and a really comfy cool spot to hang out.
The sheer array of cakes and pastries are amazing - they have loads of unusual flavours.
I went for the savoury ciabatta with buffalo mozzarella, grilled aubergine, leek omelette (unusual but nice!) and baby spinach. While I did feel the price of €11 for the sandwich was quite steep, you could tell the ingredients were all seriously good quality. It was really gorgeous! You could add soup or a salad for an extra two quid also. I went for their soup which was Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato - really zingy and fresh.
We were both pretty stuffed after the massive lunches but decided to go for one of their amazing looking cannolis - WOW. We chose the pistachio cannoli and it was out-of-this-world delicious. Definitely worth a try! read more
