Little Italy Ristorante

HAL 2nd Stage
Bangalore 560038
080 25289126After a couple days in Bangalore I was already home sick... a corporate apartment where an orange stain sits right in the middle of the bed and the pillows smelled:
I tried to stay to one side of the bed to avoid the stain. I wondered if they changed the bed sheets but found out they did since the orange stains turned into red stains and moved closer to me after staying there for a week. I couldn't bear the gym bag smelling pillows so I made my own pillow by sticking clean T-shirts and socks in a Macy's bag.
The bathroom:
The soap looked filthy so I threw it out. They picked it back out of the trash can the few times I did it so I gave up and just pushed it off to the side. I killed a mosquito with the yellow hand towel. They kept putting it back on the glass top - once they even had the dead mosquito facing upwards.
I missed Western civilization so much. As an alternative, a Western family brought me to a nearby vegetarian Italian restaurant:
A really fancy interior that quickly made me forget I was in Bangalore:
Spicy Spaghetti in a tomato and mushroom sauce
The mushrooms are diced into the sauce making it very thick. I could literally chew the sauce. The dish was very salty and very difficult to eat. The pasta is the dry kind you find at the Western-style grocery stores.
Molten lava cake:
I saw this on the menu and I just had to get it. I was very disappointed with what I got. The outside was dry and paper-like. The inside was a non-flowing fudge that tasted like kids medicine chocolate. The ice cream was more ice than cream.
I got sick again that night. The food was horrible. The whole dinner was $200 CAD for 2 kids and 2 adults - expensive for India. I would never recommend coming here and I never came back here again.

that sucks :x i guess its because you're not indian... there are good places to eat in india, you just have to know how to find them. whenever i visit, i never eat at open restaurants/street food because i could get sick. (native indians are immune to it because they've been eating it since childhood!)
its probably a good idea to bring your own waterbottle around. avoid the water they give you if you can. i'm not too familiar with bangalore but there are a lot of english speaking people. or maybe that's just downtown bangalore... yeah, everyone there speaks english and all the stores are relatively american.
enjoy the rest of your stay :) sorry about the hotel thing... i never stay in indian hotels so i dont know what they are like. that's unfortunate. :x
