Coffee shop Italian style

The Espresso Bar Mandarin in Tel Aviv has a stand-out menu.

With Tel Aviv filled to the brim with generic coffee shop chains, it’s hard to differentiate between them and find something special. This was always my attitude until I was lucky enough to check out Espresso Bar Mandarin at the Mandarin Hotel on Hatzuk Beach in north Tel Aviv. While Espresso Bar is one of the chains that I actually prefer the most, this particular branch offers an Italian menu that singles it out from the rest.
While we were intending to sample the new winter menu that is available at all Espresso Bar chains throughout the country, we decided to order from the Italian menu that is specific to this branch. It’s not that the winter menu wasn’t inviting and didn’t have endless options, it’s just that the selection of warming pasta dishes looked too good to pass up on a chilly winter’s evening….
