The best ingredient for an enjoyable evening is some company to share good food with. The more companions, the merrier. Italians knows this, and live by this formula. That’s why in Italy, families and friends gather together come dining time, sharing the bounty of the land – and the stories of the day – in a simple celebration of life, and living.
At Italiannies, this rich tradition is followed faithfully, with an ambience resembling authentic everyday Italian households and an amiable staff. “A’more di Merrier” is the Italiannies shared presentation menu concept. It encourages guests to share their orders in the true Italian tradition as they believe strongly that the best ingredient for an enjoyable dining experience is some company to share good food with.
And to make a dining experience truly a family affair, Italiannies unique Continental façade beckons. From the minute guests walk into the restaurant, they will be greeted with sepia-toned photographs of families decorating the walls, lacey curtains, and dark wooden furniture which all add up to Italiannies homey ambience. These plus the aroma of freshly cooked food emanating from its open kitchen are enough to entice guests to stay while longer for seconds.
At Italiannies, there will always be a feast. With “A’more di merrier”, great food and good times are just on the table, waiting to be shared.
