Life is Sweet at Bar Dolci

“It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.” – by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Whenever I came across Bonifacio Global City and drop off to Burgos Circle along Forbes Town Center, I did not even notice lot of restos around. Maybe because the place was kinda dimmed.

Great it was Yuletide season then that the whole area was lighted by Christmas decor around to make it more captivating to those who like to dine out.

Since I was a just near McKinley, I have joined the OpenRice group to a foodie event named “Eat’s a Date” at Bar Dolci. Bar Dolci is an Italian gelato store that caters to different flavors from extra-dark chocolate, mint chips, salted caramel, limoncello sorbet, thai tea, egg nog, manhattan cheesecake and lot more to indulge.

To tell you honestly, I would rather eat a pastry or a cake rather than an ice cream. or a gelato. Why? Because most of the time, I almost done the talking in a meeting or a training conduct. For me, a cold yet sweet stuff that I can put on my throat would somehow hamper my voice.

Anyway, why not indulge in one night. LOL!

I am not a fan of gelato until I tasted one here at Bar Dolci around the stretch of Burgos Circle. I love the fusion of taste combined like the Wasabi which I tasted in a spoonful. Have tried their best seller – combined salted caramel and ferrero which cost P 120.00. Yes, the staffs are right – right combination to my taste buds! Now, I am addicted to gelato!

First time to try bruschetta – combination of bread, pizza and some sort of pasta in one. Four varieties to choose from – Salami, Cheese, Mushroom/Garlic and Bacon/Cheese. Price is P 260.00.

Gruyere Cheese Poufs where they will put Marinara Dip to compliment the whole taste which cost is P 150.00. Another one is Beignets with Chocolate Espresso Dip for P 130.00. They got also scones – flavors like basil & olives, bacon & cheese or caramelized onion for P 120.00.

Macarons for P 50.00 each. Flavors are black currant, blueberry cheesecake, cafe, chocolate chip caramel, green tea, pistachio, ferrero but the best for me was the salted caramel. They got also fruit jellies which cost P 100 for 8 pieces.

We dine out upstairs as the whole interior are cozy and there were LCDs to keep you entertained which is also the same with the first floor which is very inviting.

Before I go down taking picture for the whole area, I have noticed a sort of designs at the glass panel. It is some sort of a scoreboard tracking on how frequent a guest visit the place noting it down in a glass panel. I think after 10 visits, one can get a free scoop of gelato.
