The little Italy at Nungambakkam is one stop for the best Italian in town.
Being it vegetarian, I was a little hesitant at first. But the decision to make a stop to this restaurant was worth .
Let me start with thanking Mr Vimal Shah and the excellent Head chef and manager Mr Pradeep Shetty, for making us feel at home. With the lovely food coming by and the finger licking food making us want more 😀
The Food review:
Soup and appetizers :
Crema Di Fungi
Pomodoro Limestrone
Crema di fungi – the mushroom and cream based cream soup. The creamy texture and the right soft mushrooms, makes you feel warm and comforting. I did try the Pomdoro which is a tomato based one. Definitely for my pick it would be the crema di fungi.
Supreme Nachos
Lets Nacho the supreme style. What a better way to start your meal with this finger- licking filled with cheese and veggies nachos. Lettuce, Tomato, Olives, Jalapenos & Melted Cheese it tasted like a lot of love had been drizzled in. The crunchy freshly baked nachos with the fresh veggies and hot cream cheese is to die for and the best I have had by far in the city. The salsa sauce also was well blended with oregano and tasted well with the nachos.
Spinaci Salsa
The crispy bread and creamy spinach dip was the second starter we had. The dip is what did the wonders of just melting in my mouth . Yes there are more options available for the dips and breads you can choose from.
Pace Di Potato
Main Course:
Can you believe it? A potato skin fried dish. Yes this is what Pace di potato is.. Loved loved this dish the most from all the three.. Unique in its way, not too fried, not oily just yummness in my mouth. The mayo red chilli dip was the perfect combo to complete the dish. Do do try this dish.. Double thumbs up!
Chefdon Pizza (Special)
This pizza was freshly and specially baked for us, What a delight it was. Being a fan of thin crust pizza, this automatically became my favourite. The veggies and panner did good justice to the crispy pizza. Good quantity for 3-4 people and every bite you take was loaded and mouthful.
Pasta del Barone
Tangy, zingy, spicy Ravioli , was spot on my kinds pink sauce based pasta. The spinach filling inside the ravioli was a great attempt, as it made the pasta more tasty and spicy in every bite. Must must try this one. Double thumbs up.
Risotto di Verdre
Not being a big fan of the risotto but did make me want to try, as the presentation of the dish was bang on. Nicely sprinkled with herbs, and the taste soft and melting in the mouth. The right salt, sauces did make me start liking risottos. Cannot believe I just said that 😀
PRIMAVERA
The aroma of olive oil tossed noodles were the cookie points were taken.Trying to be healthy and still want to eat Italian , there you go best dish to have. This veggies and noodles combo was a win win.Do try this one too.
Desserts:
TIRAMISU
CHOCOLATE BOMB
Apologies for not uploading the Sizzling Chocolate walnut picture, but yes the soft soft brownie and some lovely ice cream and the hot hot sauce was to die for. The spongy and fluffy brownie did get cookie points too.. Double thumbs up.
Tiramisu being my favourite dish, did get the first attention. Soft, delicious is the way it should be. Having a sweet tooth makes you want to have more, but the calories you take in do make you run a little longer the next day 😀
The last but not the least Chocolate Bomb, the hot chocolate lava falling when you cut the fluffy portion is the melting point. Yum yum totally yummy, I did finish the whole myself. Guilty as charged. But definitely worth it!
Oh oh before I forget we did try the Mojito aslo which was the refreshing thing to gulp all the flip-smacking food we ate:D
Verdict:
I have by far never ever given a 5 on 5 to any restaurant, But this way did beat it, the service, food is perfect as they say. Thank you for making us want to come again and again. The lip- smacking food and the chef himself making a point to come and look at us enjoying the food was the cheery on the top. Thank you Pradeep sir.
Guys do go and enjoy the lovely italian food at Little Italy and spread the word:D
Ambiance : 4/5
Taste : 5/5
Service : 5/5
For three people it would come up to 1500 apporx.
