The Italian Restaurant Vapiano


My all-time favorite type of food is Italian food. There is a restaurant called Vapiano, it is a unique and different type of restaurant. Vapiano is mainly self-service meaning you do not have a waitress coming to your table and taking your order. You have to stand in a line and order your dish. Then someone will cook your meal in front of you. Vapiano does not only exist in the US there different braches of this restaurant all over the world for example France ,Prague, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates. The food at Vapiano is absolutely delicious. My favorite dishes there are the salmon carbonara pasta and the shrimp espinaci pasta (Spinach). However, even their shrimp pizza is very delicious. I encourage people who want to have a simple nothing fancy type of a dinner/lunch to come to Vapiano they will truly enjoy it. The only down side about Vapiano is the fact that it is crowded especially during weekends. Also, their deserts are not good at all, but their coffee is the best, probably the best coffee I have ever tried in NYC. The environment in Vapiano is usually noisy because it is mostly full of people, however at night they light small candles on every table so it makes it a bit romantic, although it is still noisy. A suggestion I can give to people especially if they are going out at night is to come to Vapiano for dinner before going to a night club or a bar/lounge. One better thing about Vapaino is the fact that it is self-service, which means you do not need to pay tip, and that makes it cheaper. Anyone who is looking to have a really nice day or night meal but do not want to spend so much money, Vapiano is the place.

If You Want to Experience the Taste of Middle Eastern Sea Food Anassa Taverna is the Place



This week am going to talk about my favorite restaurant for seafood. A Greek restaurant called Anassa Taverna it is located in uptown Manhattan. I have never tasted a better sea food in my life. This restaurant is more to the expensive side but absolutely worth it. The sea food that they have feels as if they have imported it from the Middle East. It tastes very delicious.

The environment in this restaurant is dark and romantic. They have candles on each table. Also, it is more to the formal side ,but do not worry you can always dress casual and not feel weird about it at all. The service in this restaurant is great because it is considered a bit fancy ,so that is also another thing that makes this restaurant even better.
I encourage all sea food lovers to try this place am sure you will never taste anything better. I have come many times to this restaurant and I have had my graduation dinner there and I could not have enjoyed it any better. My favorite meals in this restaurant is basically everything I love their risotto, royal fish, salmon, and all their sea food.
In fact their other types of food are also extraordinary, my brother once had their lamb and he said it was absolutely delicious. I encourage everyone who is looking to have a simple/fancy/date dinner night to come to Taverna, I promise you will not regret it, in fact you might become addicted, like me.

Tips On How to Know a Restaurant is Good





This week my blog post is going to be different from all my previous posts. Am going to give you guys tips on how to know if a restaurant is good:
  1. One obvious tip and am sure a lot of people already do that is to check the restaurant’s rating on Yelp. Also, you should view the comments the good and the bad so you know what to exactly expect when you come to the restaurant.
  2. If you come to a restaurant and it is crowded then this is a good sign. There is a big potential that it is going to be a good restaurant, because apparently there is a crowd of people that like it.
  3. One of the main important things in restaurants I think is customer service. If the service is slow it means the restaurant is probably not good, and the waitresses are not well trained to serve a lot of people at once. On the other hand, if the service is too fast this is not a good sign either ,because it can mean that the food is stored that they have it from the previous day, so it is taking them so long to prepare it.
  4. Another thing that is related to service is when waitresses are constantly asking you if you need anything and if you have finished your meal. People want to enjoy their meal and if the waitresses are constantly disturbing them, then they are not going to enjoy it.

Above all the main important thing when you are visiting a restaurant is to feel comfortable. If you do not enjoy the service and the restaurant’s atmosphere then it is just going to be a bad experience and you are not going to feel any less stressed and relaxed after a long week of work.
