Big Indian Burrp, Little Italy Style ;)

Long long ago, (actually just an year ego, See Sug, I miss you so much that even an year has become long long ago to me), Sug was leaving Bangalore for good (Ohh did I call it for Good, she relocated to Chennai aka Madras ;) ). So some of us decided to have dinner together. All of us reached a restaurant at 100ft. Road, Indira Nagar(Bangalore but off course). They call them self as "Little Italy".

"Little Italy..?? Why would someone like to add "Little" to their name", I thought. Clearly frustration of being waiting for the last 5 minutes for getting a table was building up inside me. Since we had been told before hand by the Restaurant management that it will take at least 20 minutes for us to get a table, I guess the frustration was only because my friend was all set to leave Bangalore.

I believe that both Joy and Sadness are two different sides of the same coin, so where there is sadness, there will be Joy too. Very soon all our sadness of parting with Sug was turned into a pleasant Joy of life. All credit goes to the Chef of Little Italy. Ohh sweet lord, there menu is like an encyclopedia, I wonder if they actually serve so many Italian dishes back in Italy. To make life easy, they have a very friendly dish code (Ex: A.2, P.14) just to help people who have difficulty in pronouncing the Italian dish names.

That day was a rare one, since I agreed to go in for a pure vegetarian dinner...and I do admit of not being particularly happy with the decision...at least initially. But I was pleasantly proved wrong. Little Italy is a place which has almost everything in place (be it ambience, food, hospitality, bar) and that too just perfectly. Who says that there is limited number of dishes when it comes to veggie or Italian food or both? If you do, then you gotta visit Little Italy.

We gorged ourselves with pastas, risottos, wood burn pizzas (Ow Maa Gawd!!! that was one awesome thing..!!!),lasagne etc etc....gosh I'm already salivating!! The first impression of the food was, it smells good, looks great but might be less in quantity. We were soon proved wrong as the food was over filling, but this didn't make us happy since we all had already become too greedy and wanted to try each and every dish on the menu. Finally came in the time for Desserts..! Most of the desserts we ate were amazing but there was one which stands tall among the rest.. Choco Bomb..!! It is like the mother of all bombs and desserts..! It’s the most perfectly prepared dessert I have ever had. The temperature, sweet, bitter, softness everything..!

One look at the food served at Little Italy and you know its been cooked with a lot of care to appease the taste buds as well as health-conscious minds (at last I can have pastas and not feel guilty !!;) Tho I am quite sure that cheese is an integral part of Italian dishes)I always thought healthy and tasty food are kind of antonymous - but definitely not any more.

As compared to other restaurants in Bangalore who serve Italian food, Little Italy is on the lower side when it comes to pricing. Initially you might think that pricing is quite high but then quality never comes cheap. A dish here wuld cost you little over Rs 200/-, Drinks(Mocktail/Cocktail) would take away another 200 bucks. And then the sweet dish would take just the half the earlier two had been taking. So roughly per head the cost comes little over 500/- but all is completely worth off. Spending so much hard earned money at Little Italy gives me good food and satisfaction..! ;)

Since then I have been visiting this place almost once every week..I'm actually contemplating on going green:).

Bon - appetite..!
