Café Amaretto Is The Perfect Place For A Quiet Date With #Bae

Even though it’s tucked away in the basement of South Point Mall, Café Amaretto is so bright, white and cheery, you’d think it was al fresco. Add a delightful Italian menu to the mix and you have yourself the perfect place to read, date or celebrate.

Walk through the glass-panelled doors of Café Amaretto and you find yourself in a cosy café that’s also airy enough to feel like you have your own little corner, no matter where you sit. The cushioned metal chairs are faux-faded and comfy, service is warm and friendly, and the art on the walls is the pop of colour the café needs to break the all-white décor.

Start with breakfast – we recommend the Eggs Benedict that is served on buttery brioche – and make pancakes the dessert. Choose from toppings of Nutella or Honey, or go with our favourite, the Caramelised Banana.

However, the best way to experience Café Amaretto is by filling up with a hearty meal. We loved the Ricotta Stuffed Mushrooms, the Cheese Platter {yay, olives!} and the Antipasti Platter which had prawns, chicken and parma ham. The Beetroot and Avocado salad is practically a palate cleanser – light and crunchy, with creamy avocado.

For pizza and pasta folks, this is heaven. The Oriental Pizza is a good change from the standard pies because it’s topped with pak choi, broccoli and baby corn. For hardcore meat-lovers, we suggest the Carpicciosa more – it’s loaded with Italian ham, artichoke and mozzarella. As far as pasta goes, blindly order the Lasagna with minced meat, it’s one of the finest in town. For a larger meal, the grills work out perfectly, the Amaretto Wood Roasted Chicken hits the spot and if you’re a fish person, then they have a choice of three with a variety of sides.

Don’t forget to leave room for dessert – this is THE place of Panna Cotta and Tiramisu.
