AQUA Forte @ Galle Fort
Located at: 62 Leyn Baan Street, Galle Fort, Sri Lanka Visited on: 05 Aug, 2019 This wine-and-dine Italian restaurant located inside the Fort conveniently popped up in the newspapers the day before we were to visit Galle.

Dolce Italia (Part 02)
Located at: 5 Skelton Road, Colombo 05, Sri Lanka Visited on: 04 Sep, 2018 Visiting again after a while, I thought of trying something other than pizza this time. But first, I needed to rehydrate – a Lime and Mint fresh juice (LKR 400) was my choice. I like the fact that they prepare this without…

Located at: Ground Floor, K-zone Ja-ela, 525 Negombo Road, Ja-ela, Sri Lanka Visited on: 05 Nov, 2017 Such a great find! I didn’t see this coming, to be honest, but this is about as authentic as pizza is going to get for a locally-owned restaurant. And it’s all the way out here in Ja-ela – double…

Located at: 5 Skelton Road, Colombo 05, Sri Lanka Visited on: 21 Sep, 2017 This was our third visit to the recently relocated Dolce Italia and, I have to say, the place is growing on me.
