Where do you go to get the most authentic Italian flavours in Mumbai?
Answers could be many, but mine is one – Prego @ Westin. Chef Antonello Cancedda rolls magic with his pin. The dough of the pizza baked in Chef Antonello’s kitchen the softest and juiciest. Spread with crunchiest exotic veggies, I often play a game of counting the cheese threads on the pizza, with both my boys. Once you eat this pizza you realise what a wonder this dish can be. Unlike the commercial avatars of Pizza, which are delivered at your doorstep in 30mins, and often leave me my gum scratched.
Though the menu is limited. And even more limited for me, since I am pure vegetarian. I am such regular at this place, and the staff so efficient, that they know what my pet order would be like – the Trio De Bruchette, Zuppa Di Fungi – a mushroom soup, whole wheat rolled pizza, is like comfort food from my mum’s kitchen. My boys, love the wild mushroom risotto done right with the generous shower of parmesan cheese. They are kids with a wrist-size waist, so they can afford it. The other soup option is that Broccoli, which is equally good.
But what’s a good meal without a bubbly companion. You can choose from the choicest selection of wines, gin, rum, tequila and artfully aged single malts.
Order homemade ice-creams for dessert, and you are set to wrap up a scrumptious meal.
I will go with the following ratings:
Food: 4.5/5
Dessert: 3.5/5 (need more options on the menu)
Ambience: 4/5
People: 5/5 (Because of the team of Prego & the charmer chef of Italian origin, who can sing live hindi Bollywood songs as you dine-in).
