Gulf Air operates the narrow body A321 Neo to Rome and Milan. From Milan to Rome, a light snack was being served. More passengers boarded in Rome for the flight to Bahrain. Pre-departure Arabic coffee and date was offered. After take off, it was lunch service. Although the flight was operated by a narrow body aircraft, there were 4 main course selections. I had the veal ossobucco, a Milanese dish which was tasty and tender. Dessert came around on a trolley - there was a choice of cakes, fruits and cheese. The flight attendant who served me on this flight was a nice Korean lady who was attentive and polite. As with middle eastern airlines, the inflight entertainment weighed heavily on Arabic movies and music. The selection of Hollywood movies was limited. Overall, I would recommend Gulf Air for flights between Asia and Europe. Connectivity in Bahrain is good and the Falcon Fold Lounge is well stocked with food.
