Romano’s JW Mariott Mumbai

Romano's JW Mariott
Special occasions call for an even more special celebration. So I decided to head to Romano’s JW Mariott to celebrate a really special day.

Romano's JW Mariott

We came to deciding Romano’s JW Mariott because we wanted to eat some good Italian food. And going by the looks of this place and whatever reviews I read, this seemed to be worth a try.

The entrance does give you a major Italian feel and because I visited them during the holiday season, the place was beautifully decorated. We had a reservation and the staff assisted us to our table.

The place is beautiful – open kitchen which is common to a lot of true Italian places. And the seating and ambience does spell a nice cozy dinner.

My first order was Minestrone Di Verdure. This had a ton of pesto in it, something which I’m gradually beginning to like. Minestrone soup does not always have pesto, but I quite enjoyed it in this.

With soup you get a portion of their fresh bread which was definitely something. It was a nice whole grain loaf which I quite enjoyed with some olive oil.

Next I wanted to try their Margherita Pizza – which for me is the truest test of good Italian Pizza. And it was definitely something! The pizza base was perfect – i mean slightly crunchy on the sides and a little softer towards the center. And the cheese was top notch. And so was the pomodoro sauce – just perfectly tangy. And topped with basil leaves which lend a subtle, yet noticeable flavor.

Then I moved straight to dessert and I was recommended the Vulcano Di Cioccolato which was a soft centered chocolate cake with some vanilla ice cream on the side. It was served warm, and if you have been following me you know that warm chocolate is my weakness. This was definitely one of the best one’s I’ve had.

Jamies Pizzeria Mumbai – Overrated?

Jamies Pizzeria Mumbai
After at least a dozen recommendations from fellow foodies, friends and family, I tried out Jamies Pizzeria Mumbai. Talk about being super late to a party!

When a restaurant is highly recommended, the Gemini in me gets way too active. On one hand I’m super excited to try out the place and be one with all the people who love it, and on the other hand I’m kind of really trying hard to not build that many expectations. And Jamies Pizzeria Mumbai wasn’t left out of this thought process either.

Jamies Pizzeria Mumbai

Firstly, a moment of silence that Haagen Dazs shut down and made way for Jamies. I mean, WHY? Why God why did it have to go. Anyway, after all of that emotional drama, I got down to ordering some food and I ordered some salad, some pizza and a beverage.

Jamies Pizzeria Mumbai

I started with their Rocket Salad. A petite portion of fresh rocket leaves, some parmesan cheese in an extremely understated balsamic flavor. You have gotta love your leaves if you have to like this salad because the dressing is really mild and the actual rustic flavor of arugula is what you end up with. Even the cheese is really minimal. I honestly did quite enjoy this.

Coming to the next item – which for me is the TRUE test for a Pizza place – the MARGHERITA! I ordered one here too and went in immediately for a big bite. You know when there’s too much excitement and anticipation and your first bite is well…just about ok. The pizza base was really good. I didn’t have any trouble eating even the non sauce part at all. The tomato sauce I felt could have been a little more tangy and flavorful. I mean it was ok, and not something that I could rave about. Honestly, I feel Pizza Express does their margherita splendidly well.

I sipped on their Ginger Beer all throughout my dinner and I thought it was one of the best ginger drinks I’ve had in a while. No fizz and really good.

So, coming to the ultimate question – Will I go back here? May be …may be not.

800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria – Los Angeles

800 Degrees Neapolitan

Travelling makes me really happy. So does food. So here’s a snippet of something that I really enjoyed while I was in Los Angeles recently. Watch this video from my visit to 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria in Downtown, LA. And while your at it, do Subscribe to my YouTube channel as well.

800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria was just a couple of blocks from my hotel, and I visited this place one afternoon for lunch. They did have a whole authentic feel going on – open kitchen, multiple huge brick ovens and of course Margherita Pizza! If you have been following me, then you know that I absolutely enjoy a good Margherita – so here I was! And the best part was that I got to film a lot of the pizza being made. That’s how this video came along. 

The pizza here was good – kinda soft and soggy like the authentic one, mild sauce and loads of Olive Oil and cheese. It was good pizza and I think I’d rate it a 4 on 5.

Here are some more pictures that you can check out from my visit here.

So if you are in Los Angeles, then do visit 800 Degrees Neapolitan Pizzeria. They also had a gelato section, which unfortunately I didn’t end up trying. Their pizza is quite nice and a great option if you are looking for a change than the regular American style sliced pizza. And they do have a lot of branches, across countries as well – Las Vegas, Dubai and many more.

I hope you enjoyed reading and watching. I know it’s been a while since there was a blog post but there are many interesting ones coming. So stay tuned and also subscribe to my YouTube – I do upload videos quite often. And also follow me on my social media. All of the links are below.
