My TripAdvisor Review No.291: Little Italy, Mahabaleshwar.

Overpriced Alfresco Dining.

We decided to try out ‘Little Italy’, but regretted the decision. Luckily it was a cool spring evening in March and we did not need air-conditioning. Their seating is all outdoors, or in the veranda of the heritage bungalow where they are located, very near the market place of Mahabaleshwar.

First off, we were left with no choice but to buy a bottle of mineral water costing Rs.55, because according to the waiter, their purifier was not working properly. Mocktails were overpriced at not less than Rs.200 a drink. In their all vegetarian menu the average price of the dishes were about Rs.600, which was only enough to satisfy one person. The menu had an assortment of Salads, Pastas, Pizzas and some Mexican dishes.

We ordered a ‘Cannelloni Alla Florentina’, a baked dish which consisted of tubes of pasta filled with cheese, spinach, mozzarella, basil and tomato sauce. It was chewy and tasty, but quite overpriced at Rs.590. Service was very slow.

There is parking space for about 5 cars in the compound, and the open-air ambience of the place is quite good, especially in the evenings. We enjoyed our Italian dish, but went down to the market to supplement it with a strawberry milkshake with ice-cream after dinner.
