I'm not a big fan of writing reviews, but here I simply cannot help but express the disappointment that remains with me after visiting Antonia Chic. Having seen the announcement of breakfasts on Instagram, I hurried to Galleria Mall. When we arrived at 11 am, only one table was occupied, which gave us hope for quick service. The menu is compact but sufficient. I didn’t like that there was no option to replace scrambled eggs with poached eggs (although this is nothing complicated). We ordered coffee (the Lavazza brand is a normal choice that will suit the mass customer - the only thing that hurt the eyes was that in the presence of brightly colored dishes, branded Lavazza glasses looked like surgeons at an Italian wedding). My wife ordered Bruschetta with scrambled eggs, ricotta and truffle, there was not enough taste, you could only feel the truffle and the surrounding blandness. For myself, I chose an omelette, and after waiting more than 30 minutes, I decided to find out when it would finally be ready.

The most offensive thing was that the waiters, even seeing our dissatisfaction, did not ask...

Hello Abu Dhabi! If you happen to be craving some authentic Italian cuisine and you find yourself near Galleria Mall, I've got just the place for you - Antonia Chic! It's rather charming and you'll find yourself enamoured the moment you step in. They have a lovely display of pizzas, focaccia and all manners of enticing desserts that hint at the scrumptious fare to come.

I had their pizza - absolutely top-notch. The fragrance of the cheese wafting about is simply heavenly! Their seafood pasta is also something not to be missed out on. My recommendation? Complete your meal with a serving of their must-try gelato.

I also reminisce over one more dessert which was splendid, but for the life of me, I can't remember its name. Do note though, the customer service was a bit of a letdown. None of the staff donned a smile on their face, except for Tony and Sandhya.

Still, the food experience in itself was pretty smashing and I do think you'd enjoy a...
