Bella Ciao

Bella Ciao is an Italian restaurant near the Thiruvanmiyur-Kottivakkam beach in Chennai. I had heard a lot about it from my colleagues but finally got a chance to go with friends only yesterday.

After dining in many of the open-air restaurants in Pune, I always look forward to dining in such places anywhere. Bella Ciao is one of them. However hot the day would be in Chennai, the evenings near the beach are always comfortable and ideal spots for an open-air restaurant.

The Italian menu was mouth-watering. Unfortunately, we didn't have much time to spend and we regretted that we came here since we had to leave in a hurry to catch a movie.

Bella Ciao is a place where you can spend a lovely evening with friends and family and indulge in some great food. Another plus point that we noticed was we didn’t have to wait for the food for long. We had Italian pizza which had bacon, eggs, cheese and tomato sauce on it...and it was yummy! It was a good change from the usual pizzas from Pizza Hut and other fast food corners. We also had lamp chops with mashed potatoes. Finally, we had a desert that was just out of this world. It was called "Black and White Mousse"...I hope I got the name right. It was so heavenly and it could make you the most selfish person on earth since you wouldn't want to share it with anyone else!! :-D
