Not every Halloween needs to be frightful. Café Buongiorno Per Tutti and Café Buongiorno Gelateria are celebrating Italian Halloween Spirit throughout October, drawing on themes of remembrance, family and sharing. The headline act is a trio of Halloween doughnuts to have with Italian coffee, afternoon tea or Seduzione Pumpkin, Apple & Pineapple, a cold pressed juice. Over at the gelateria, pumpkin gelato and white wine granita offer two more ways into the seasonal spirit. For something savoury, Il Gusto Italiano pairs one of three pasta dishes with a glass of red or white wine for B399 net. Choose spaghetti aglio olio peperoncino with mushroom and bacon, aubergine ravioli with rosé sauce or spaghetti beef bolognese. A muffin-and-coffee pairing costs B149 net. A little less fright, a little more dolce vita.
