One weekend, Ed and I had a boring night at home. We went window-shopping at Burjuman Centre to console ourselves. Then, out of the blue, we decided to have our dinner at Carino's. It's been over a year since we had our meal at the Italian grill. We love Carino's, but we often forget that the restaurant exists at Burjuman due to its hidden location. Carino's Italian Grill is at the junction of the business center and the shopping mall, away from the retail shops, secretly waiting to be discovered!
One of the things I adore about Carino's is the homey ambiance. The large windows, wooden furniture and photos on the wall create a pleasant atmosphere for casual dining.
I couldn't believe I spent almost 2 years without the taste of Carino's delectable dishes!
 |
| The one I missed the most! fresh and warm complimentary bread, served with olive oil and garlic |
 |
| On the salad menu, we chose the savory Pecan-Crusted Chicken. (spinach, chicken, bacon, and tomatoes served with a light vinaigrette dressing) |
 |
| Ed's drink: sweet Amalfi Strawberry Lemonade |
 |
| My drink: refreshing Catalina Sunrise |
 |
| The Tuscan Ribeye marinated in herbs and spices was flavorful in every bite. The serving comes with a delicious Italian pasta. |
The Bill:
Pecan Crusted Chicken: 45 AED
Tuscan Ribeye: 81 AED
Signature Drinks: 20 AED each
It was a huge mistake for me to leave my discount coupons at home. We should have gotten 25% off the total bill. Well, another lesson learned. From now on, I will be carrying the coupons in my pouch wherever I go. Who knows, another random night might turn into a dinner-date night.

it's the simplest dip, but it's good! I also love to add balsamic on it. =)

ReplyDeleteYou're right, it's a great way to bond! A date night is a great way to end the busy week! Thanks for dropping by Terry!
DeleteIt seems like a very cozy place that's perfect for dates. :D
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem with coupons. I keep leaving them at home. :P Hubby suggested that I get a separate wallet for the coupons so I can always carry them in my bag.
Hahahah! From now on, I'll do that too Olga! =)
DeleteBf and I used to do this but now that we live near a mall, we lost the enthusiasm for it. It's nice to bond over food. You don't argue. *lol*
ReplyDeleteWe also live across a mall, and we love it! But being near the shops and restos can hurt the pocket. hahahah! =)
