Little Italy

 I had heard of the much famous Italian restaurant "Little Italy" which is a franchise based in Mumbai, and was waiting for a long time to try it, and finally the day came. I had certain knowledge about the Italian cuisine which was pasta, lasange, spaghetti etc. Until i came to know the wide varieties available at Little Italy.

Little Italy: (Vegetarian Restaurant):

   We started off  with a Pizza which was called "Pavarotti" which had fresh tomato sauce, mozzarella, temphe, mushrooms, onions, sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan Cheese. It was wood burn pizza which was

evenly cooked and which had a thinner crust than the regular pizza's. Add the oregano spice which gives a different pinch and flavor to it.

The second dish we had was Lasange Alla Napoletana which had layers of pasta, bechamel sauce, tomato sauce, basin, mozzarella and ricotta cheese sauce baked in oven. It was definitely the best lasange i ever had.

Lasange & Crocchette Spinaci e ricotta

The third we had ordered Crocchette Spinaci e Ricotta which had mashed potatoes mixed with spinach and ricotta cheese and rolled over bread crumbs and it was served with fresh green salad. It was simply fantastic.  

Pasta Barbaresca

  The last we had ordered Pasta Barbaresca which consisted of creamy sauce with fresh broccoli, tomatoes, garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese and chilli pepper. Desserts were also good, Chocolate bomb was one to look out for.

Me and my friend

    Sadly it is only vegetarian and its a little high priced. If you are a food lover and have been bored of the daily dal and rice and want to try something new then definitely this is the place to be. Truly Italian.

Aliyar -Temple of consciousness

Aliyar Ashram:

Yogiraj Shri Vethathiri Maharishi  (1911-2006) was a spiritual leader and he is the founder of the ashram in Aliyar. This place has got all the facilties for a large group to stay. I had visited this place as a part of our outbound training program in college.

  The surroundings and environment is really good and  this place gave a lot of knowledge  by the Kayakalpa yoga course and other meditation courses. The word taught by our teachers was "Valga Vaiyagam, Valga Valamudan" meaning "Live prosperously blessed with wealth and health". This Tamil word is the mantra of the ashram.

 We had stayed there for three days and the food was good and healthy. Our yoga sessions used to start off from early morning. We were approximate 200 of them and we used to gather in the auditorium and get seminars on various topics like how to control anger, how to live peacefully and satisfied, moral values etc.

We also received a certificate regarding our course. 

Auditorium

The area has mountains and rivers nearby, and there is Aliyar dam nearby, you can also visit monkey falls which will 30-40 mins approximately from Pollachi. From Aliyar Dam the distance of monkey falls is just one and half kms. The pictures taken are all inside the ashram premises.

   We had a nice and peaceful time in the Ashram. If you want a break from the daily chores of work then you can look for this place.

Tuscany Pizza :)

In India, Pizzas are also not been ate on daily basis but occasionally. In Coimbatore you can find big names such as Pizza Hut, Domino's etc. Here s a new one which has capability to compete with others. It is called "Tuscany Pizza". 

TUSCANY PIZZA : (Veg/Non veg)

This place has been newly commenced and it has a lot of varieties of Pizza and other eateries.

There was a combo  which includes a veg pizza, two garlic breads and a coke. We had ordered a lunch combo of non veg pizza, two garlic breads & a coke which was of Rs119 (excluding tax). 

The non veg pizza was approx. 6-7 inches and was cooked properly with mozzarella cheese and chicken.

The garlic bread were pretty mediocre. 

We had also ordered a Tuscany chicken strips which were pretty crispy and it was delicious. It tastes good with garlic sauce.
 

Overall we were satisfied by the food, we wanted to try more of it, but could not because we were completely stuffed. And this was the first time i had visited it and will surely come again.
"Its a place for all those pizza lovers out there".
