Dolcissimo

We've all done it.

We've all had a big night and woken up the next morning with one thing on our mind...FOOD!

Not going to lie, this happens to me even if it hasn't been a big night, but a few weeks ago, some of the girls and I went out and woke up to exactly this scenario. It was 10am on a Sunday morning, and we were starving!

In order to alleviate these hunger pains, we ventured out onto Ramsay St in Haberfield, close to the place we were staying. There seemed to be a lot of nice little cafes along this street, however most of them were unfortunately closed on this day. Just our luck.

But one place which was open was Dolcissimo, a little Italian Cafe & Restaurant. To be honest, the cafe was not very inviting and if it had been any other day where I had a few other options, I probably wouldn't have chosen this place. However, given the situation we were in, we decided to settle with this.

The cafe seemed to be quite busy, with many of the locals coming here to brunch with their family. The service was great, however the food took a while to come out. Majority of us decided to have the mushroom and eggplant bruschetta, and it turned out to be a great choice! 

The mushroom and eggplant was an amazing combination and the seasoning was just right, however I felt that there was too much olive oil used in this dish. Although it provided a nice richness to the flavour, by the second piece it became a little too much. Luckily, I had ordered a fresh juice with beetroot, orange, carrot, celery and ginger which provided a refreshing balance to the meal. 

I'm not sure if it is a place that impressed me enough that I would want to visit it again, but it was not bad either. I'd give a 6.5/10 for this one.
