As Indians, we love our desi food more than any thing else in the world. However I have always found comfort in Italian cuisine which has influenced the food culture around the world. I prefer wine, risotto al fungi, lasagne and cheesecake to satiate my taste buds.
Italy is known for its rich food heritage and providing the world with its finest Mediterranean cuisines which is a combination of flavors, tastes, creativity, history and traditions. Italians celebrate food and this is evident from the fact that they have dedicated February 13 as – the National Italian Food Day.
As I may not be able to visit the scenic lands of Italy every time I crave Italian food, I do end up exploring various eateries to satisfy my cravings. I have short listed few of my favorite go to places in Mumbai that serve Italian cuisines along with few of my favorite dish(es) for you to relish and experiment with on your next visit.
