Cipollo Rosso

Based on the menu, Cipollo Rosso is really more of a restaurant than a cafe. Even the drinks list veer toward their extensive list of wines… And honestly, I have no idea where the exact location of this place is as we were brought here by our Korean teacher after a yummy pasta dinner a few doors away.

If you look at the above picture carefully, there are 2 floors to Cipollo Rosso – the first is more for diners, while the second floor is more for chilling. Naturally, we proceeded to the 2nd floor!

Wine bottle-lined stairs~

First sight that greeted us when we went upstairs... and I mistook it as a mirror!

It is actually the door to a private room!

View from the 2nd level~ Quite nice eh?

Cozy corner!

View from our table. Lovely place for a good dinner with girlfriends.

Non-alcoholic drinks are really quite limited...
