Romagna Riviera @ Dubai

Has anyone seen a mini restaurant in a pillar? Well Piadera stands in a PILLAR. I dont want to exaggerate but from outside and once inside one would literally feel its inside a pillar with no support from above in a cyclinderical shape. But not to worry there are a lot of floors above the restaurant. Piadera is a very comfy and cute little restaurant just like one can find, if one has visited Italy. Itlay is quite famous for its miniature restaurants drowning in its vast culture, where one can find on hills or even while walking around the streets. Loved the fact that same concept has been applied into execution of Piadera. Started on the streets of Romagna Rivera of Italy, there lived a Beautiful Lady named NORINA who was vigorously crafting Piada FLATBREAD by Hand. A Foreigner struck by this sight, called her PIADERA, feminine dialect of PIADA. Thus, dedicated to the Artisanal Craft of Piada, PIADERA was born keeping with the Authentic Italian Traditions. Piada's are Smile-shaped Panini from Romagna at the outskirts of Riviera of Italy. These are hand-made daily doughs, Low Yeast, from 100% Italian flour, that are stone grounded with No additives and GMO-free. DRINKS As i got seated first were served the Drink of the Day which varies on a daily basis. Drink was a mixology of Lemoanade and Cucumber. Second Drink was the ABC detox with a mixology of Apple. Beetroot and Carrot. Boy this was so refreshing and revitalising. SALADS Salads had the Quinoa Salad. Speciality was it had the RED Quinoa, gluten free, crowned in a bed of radicchio and rocket salad, mised with onions, cucumbers and tomatoes. Super Healthy and yet delectable. Italian Flag Salad which had Pesto marinated Farfalle pasta in a bed of rockets, tomatoes, lemon and topped with shredded mozzarella cheese. Grilled Vegetable Platter Salad had grilled zucchini, eggplants, capsicum on a base of rocket salad drizzled with oil, lemon dressing and italian parmesan. Burrata was so fresh with oozing cheese on a bed of rocket salad, carrots alongwith balsamic vinegar and olive oil. To be note all their salads were fresh, healthy and wholesome. On-the-go Salads and a must ry flavours.

MAINS/PIADA Piadera, Signature piada with valtellina bresaola, grass-fed beef, sandwiched with stracciatella cheese, rocket salad, drizzled with modena vinegar. First time trying this kind of beef and it never failed with savour. Arabica, piada consisting of grilled capsicum and chicken on a bed of rocket salad, Zaatar and garlic sauce. One of my favourite as it had all the mediterranean kick of palate. Sicily, piada sandwiched with grilled eggplants, zucchini, capsicum, onions topped with Truffle sauce and parmesan. Their grilled vegetables are to die for and i loved this Vegetarian piada. (Do not want cheese do tell in advance). DESSERTS Apple Cake made the Italian way with fresh apples and chef's lemon magic. It had a cinnamon kick and was very soft and moist just like the way i love my cake. Trust me this was so Luscious. Tenerina Chocolate Cake is the traditional pie cake of Romagna. Its also said its a similar version of Brownies but i did not feel that way. Good moist chocolate cake where the chocolate was so rich in cocoa relish. Tiramisu, Oh Boy, was delico, luscious, scrumptious and toothsome. had strong coffee flavour lady finger biscuits with a mellowy mascarpone cheese. COFFEE, TEA AND CROISSANTS Very strong Italian brewed coffee came with ball shaped biscuit which was very very sweet. Basically those who like it strong and bitter can sip as it is but if your like me likes coffee on a sweeter side bite the biscuit and sip. Tea had Red Passion tea which was not strong yet so fruity sippy. These 2 were accompanied by the chocolate croissant yet again so freshly baked with oozing Nutella. On the whole Piadera has a lot to offer and it can take one back to the street and chaos of Italian music, dance and Food. Concept of fresh ingredients coming all the way from Italy makes it even more Authentic, Appetising and Scrumptious. Also there are mini bars of Italian drinks and Yoghurt Granolas and Fruit Salads.
