Italian cuisine has a soft spot at the bottom of our hearts (and bellies). On our quest for the most authentic Italian food in Sri Lanka, we hopscotched along the cobblestoned streets of the Galle Fort and found one.
AQUA Forte is an authentic Italian restaurant deeply rooted in the heart of Galle, Sri Lanka. A charming restaurant set on Leyn Baan Street invites travellers and foodies alike to embark on a gastronomic journey around the boot-shaped nation hallmarked for its food, wine and history.
An Italian Christmas in Sri Lanka? Yes, please!
With less than 15 days to Christmas, AQUA Forte has the perfect gifts that truly spell out ‘Italian’.
The team at AQUA Forte guided by Head Chef Roberto has prepared the classic Panettone to celebrate Christmas and New Year in Sri Lanka and it’s available for sale! Panettone is a sweet Italian bread that’s traditionally served during Christmas and New Year time.
