Celebrating Christmas with an Authentic Italian Dining Experience.

*This post is brought to you by AQUA Forte. 

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.  

If you’re looking to treat yourself with this Italian delicacy or gift it to your friends or family, here are a few options to consider. 

Classic Panettone

The classic artisanal Panettone is available for purchase at AQUA Forte and at authorised vendors for LKR 5,700. Deliveries are available to the Western & Southern provinces, at an additional delivery charge of LKR 300 for an order of up to 10 Panettones.  If you order 10 or more Panettones, the restaurant arranges free delivery + a special 10% discount. 

  • Price – LKR 5,700

Panettone & Prosecco 

The Panettone & Prosecco package includes a bottle of Bottega Gold Prosecco DOC Spumante Brut, imported from the region of Veneto in Italy. You can also substitute the prosecco for an alternative wine if you prefer; however, this is based on availability, so check with the restaurant first.

The restaurant offers free delivery to Western & Southern provinces.

What do we love about AQUA Forte? 

AQUA Forte is charmingly nestled on a quiet cobblestone street in Galle Fort, one of the world’s only living forts.  From the moment you step into the restaurant, you’re immediately transported to a modern restaurant in Italy itself! The arched doorways highlight the essence of European architecture, the etchings on the walls by the famous Italian artist Walter Valentini are the perfect conversation starter, as you dive into a menu of Italian flavours. 

Each of the dishes is prepared with the finest ingredients imported directly from Italy or sourced fresh from local markets in and around Galle. Each meal comes with a wine pairing suggestion to truly heighten your dining experience.

The entire list of premium wines is imported directly from Italy. Originating from various vineyards in the country that produce the best wines, from Veneto to Piedmont.
