Diners are in for a real treat as Chef Mimmo brings his Italian roots to the plate with a range of classic Napoleon dishes such as Parma, Quattro Formaggi and Bufala Pizza - a thin crusted tomato based pizza baked to perfection and topped with arugula, slices of fresh bufala mozzarella and cherry tomatoes.

Fancy some light evening breeze while sipping on a glass of Bordeaux? Al Borgo @ Alocassia Apartments' al fresco dining area is a hit with its regulars, and it's easy to see why. Imagine enjoying some great Italian food with a glass of wine in hand, while the sun sets in the background. I guess that's what the Italians mean by 'La Dolce Vita'. (Sept 2017)
