Only ONE place to visit in Leicester city centre: Italian cafe @AffogatoOfficial for inhouse gelato ice cream & authentic Italian dessert affogato... Located on Gallowtree Gate, this spacious 46-cover restaurant is the perfect place to unwind and grab a quick bite, or enjoy a hearty breakfast, with a light and airy interior that creates a chilled-out vibe. This brand is named after a classic Italian dessert called an #affogato which, going by its meaning of ‘drowned’, literally has a cold scoop of gelato submerged in a strong shot of freshly-made hot espresso coffee, which succeeds in tempering the heat while masterfully cutting through the drink’s bitterness. #FtLion Leicester Food Tour 2023 ˢᵖᵒⁿˢᵒʳᵉᵈ by top-tier HMC online meat delivery company @HalalEditions (at Affogato) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_BOAYjTtm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
