The Little Italy

The Little Italy in Greater Hyderabad. Its a pure vegetarian italian restaurant. You hardly find a pure vegetarian restaurants in Hyderabad. I found another restaurant where i can take my parents along.

I have been hearing about it since long time but never got a chance or rather i say occasion to visit it. Last week i had been there with some of my buddies. The food didn't represent anything desi and so as were in Little Italy, the taste should be italian certainly.
  
The ambience was pleasant and it was located right on the top  floor of a building constructed at the edge of a hill(obviously one among jubilee hills). We were there by 12:30PM and hardly no crowd. We opted for a corner table which gave a nice view of the surroundings and especially the Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park in short KBR Park Nature Trail and the most of jubilee hills. The interiors are not so great but nice. The decor is classy and relaxing. The decorator tried to give a contemporary look and was successful to some extent.

We opted for a buffet. The price was Rs.480 for adults and Rs.345 for children. The buffet included unlimited salads & welcome drinks, one starter from the menu, one pizza from the menu, one pasta or rice item from the menu. We were quickly served with the welcome drink. For the salads we have to walk to the counter to choose from the vegetables you want to include in the salad. The salad preparation was quite interesting. You got lot of english vegetable you pick from. Different types of sauces too. I'm quite alergic to olives. But i wanted to taste the green olives. The salad was fantastic with bracoli, corn, green olives, pepper, pickles and sadly no jalapenos :(

It took quite some time to order the starters & pizzas as the menu was completely new to me and my friends as well. We ordered Bruschetta, Choice of garlic bread with cheese with onions. Bruschetta was the star among the starters. The service was decent and prompt. Enough time to hang out and have a nice time.

Garlic bread was too much of crispy. Not even able to bite. Its almost like some cookie.

                   

        Bruschetta was the best among the starters. Its crispy & cheesey.
 

Sicilia was the best among Pizza.Very spicy, spicy than regular andhra food.

                 

Fantacy was really fantastic...cheesey and lot of paneer cubes.

We were almost full with the starters & pizza. But we were to select from a pasta or mexican rice dishes. Both are not worth mentioning. Mexican rice was with brown rice, some sort of rajma and some spices.
