Strawberry season finds a home at Vapiano
Its sweetness and bright red color helped inspire John Lennon in writing one of The Beatles’ best songs (or maybe it just inspired the name of a U.K. orphanage). It has been called a super food for its high antioxidant capacity. It is one of the most popular fruits in the U.S. And it is the strawberry.
In a nod to the strawberry’s popularity, the Italian-inspired restaurant chain Vapiano is highlighting a few fresh strawberry-focused dishes and cocktails to celebrate spring and the start of strawberry season.
Dishes to look forward to include the house-made Strawberry Spinach Salad with baby spinach, strawberries, goat cheese, red onion, pine nuts and raspberry maple dressing for $9.95; and the Crema Di Fragola, a delicious dessert with mascarpone crème and fresh strawberries for just $2.95 for a small or $3.95 for a large.
As part of this special tribute to strawberries, Vapiano will also feature three delicious cocktails, including a Strawberry and Rosemary Martini, made with Stoli vodka, Cointreau, orange juice, soda water, garnished with a strawberry and rosemary spring for $9.25; a Strawberry Basil Sangria for $8.95; and the Belafina Pink Moscato with strawberry garnish for $8.25.
The delicious strawberry options will be available throughout April and May at all of Vapiano’s D.C. area locations: M Street, Chinatown, Dulles Town Center, Reston Town Center, Bethesda and Ballston.
