Almond Croissant. Beautifully light, crispy and crumbly, the almond croissant was filled with a dense almond paste and topped with flaked almonds and icing sugar. Just the right size too! ladysharon.wordpress.com
Winner. Everything about this nook is just right.
Reliable and delicious.. Service is good, the coffee is good, and the food is wonderful. I would highly recommend going here for a casual date. For a student, a little pricey, but the portion sizes are good and I’ve never had a bad meal here.19 Oct, 2014Eggplant Parmagiana. An excellent vegetarian option
Watch this space. Having walked past Da Rosario almost every day for the past month on the way to work, I finally paused to check it out. Good (cheap!) coffee, lovely outdoor seating with heaters. Can’t wait to return & try out the delicious-smelling food.
Quality little lunch spot. Having always walked past it many times Id never thought to try Da Rosario. I wasnt too sure what it was… a cafe? a hole in the wall bakery? was there more through that door?Turns out its an offshoot of Mezzalira! Just a few tables and stools on a pathway, trying to take the wank out of nice Italian food. We sat down and already it didnt feel as awkward as one would have thought. We looked at the menus sitting under a bag of cutlery (presumably so they wouldnt fly away). It appeared to be handwritten and some parts a tad illegible, but I chose a veal dish and my girlfriend a pasta.A man in an apron, but also a wooly jumper, appeared and poured us some water. He wasnt the friendliest or most personable person in the world, but in that cold when all his colleagues were next door in the warmth who would be? After ordering food I noticed they served wine! Being that there was no wine list, and I still wasnt sure to what extent it was table service, I got up and walked over to his hole-in-the-wall (still not sure how far I as allowed to venture in) and asked what wine he recommended. Fittingly he suggested the hot mulled wine!When the food came out (from Mezzaliras kitchen!) it was beautiful. The pasta ($16) was perfect lunch size, obviously made fresh, and (as my girlfriend remarked) a good deal better than Jamies. My veal ($19) sat onto of a wonderful mash potato and dotted with slices of some incredibly flavoursome mushroom. The only issue was being torn between savouring the flavour, and eating fast enough as the Canberra winter air was quickly cooling our lunches!Afterwards We ordered some coffees which were pretty good (Civic as a whole is picking up its standards in coffee) and shared a caramelised lemon curd tart. Although the tart could have been garnished with something instead of just sitting on a plate, it had just been caramelised then (still warm, almost creme brle like) and tasted lovely. A good end.Without asking, the bill was promptly dropped in front of me (i think they were closing in 15 minutes) and so we pay-waved and left.The service was nothing special (I suppose you have to be inside for that) but perhaps it could also be I awkwarded things up with my lack of understanding of the process. Either way, although we didnt try any Pizzas, this place is a yummy little lunch spot not too far out of the way, with the right prices to be a regular thing, but with the right quality to still feel like a treat. There isnt anything else in Canberra quite like it, yet.
Delicious. Great food, great value. Had the best pizza I’ve had in canberra and at $16 it was a total bargain. Nice flat dough, i got the spicy toppings and the ingredients were such good quality. Good paninis, coffee and lovely cannolli too. So good it’s inspired me to add mezzalira to my CBR bucket list
Outdoor dining offshoot of Mezzalira, going for cheaper eats to get customers who wouldn’t go to their expensive venue. Fairly simple but well done food, nice tableware.
