I loved the food. But when Single use plastics are being banned in the country which is a great step, its not only households that have to pitch in. Big restaurants like your establishment can do much more. Why was the food packed in single use plastic containers. There's a ton of eco friendly alternatives out there. This was very disappointing.

Excellent cuisines for an Italian restaurant to serve to their customers.... Must try dish (pizza) would be the nawabi pizza with cheesy nachos
Great ambience and very warm and welcoming staffs

A perfect example for a fine dine restaurant, hospitality was superb, food was awesome, delightful, and tasty beyond words.

While the price is on the higher side, this is one good place for vegetarian eaters.

One can try their lunch buffet as well, decent menu with soup, starter, salad, pizza, pasta, and dessert.

Pizzas are exceptional and my favorite is Calzone.

Man, I absolutely love this place! I've been there two times for dinner with my family and the place is really good!

I've had a multitude of dishes at the restaurant and though a few of them may not have quite hit the target, I'm still going to give the benefit of the doubt to the Little Italy. The Pasta (the Ravioli, especially!) , Pizza and the appetisers were really quite well-done. It's not just the quality of the food but the quantity that I really appreciated. A lot of restaurants compromise on the amount of food they serve to increase the quality and lower the cost price of the dish. Little Italy doesn't.

They even have a nice collection of tasty Mexican dishes ala Quesadillas, Enchiladas, etc.

The service was quite pleasant and the restaurant itself has a cheerful, comfortable atmosphere to it. I really hope the TVs are switched off since these distract the customers from focussing on the actual food. ;-)

It's a must-visit place, especially if one lives in the area!

Little Italy is one chain which serves good Italian. Visited this place on a Friday evening. We ordered quite a few things. Alfredo in spaghetti and ravioli were amazing. Their sauted veggies deserve a special mention. The garlic bread was average. We also ordered some Mexican dishes like enchiladas and nachos, which were very mediocre. I would recommend this place only for Italian. Other things aren’t that great.

And talking about food... They have really good pizzas and we also tried their lasagne which was good enough compared to many cafes in chennai and at last we had this cream cheese in desert which was reslly good but I would also reccomend you to go for blueberry cheesecake for your dersert too.

The place is well located in a busy area. The Little Italy chain in bangalore is so popular, but Chennai franchise is not that busy. We we're the only ones in the restaurant for the entire experience and we went in at dinner time. Maybe it was so, because of a Sunday.

The food was typical Italian, which is mild and creamy for pastas. Try the thin crust pizzas. My favourite.

Went here on a friday evening for dinner and it was quite an experience. They have got a pretty decent ambience, but don't be surprised if you find the tables empty. So, table booking isn't really mandatory.
We had,
Nawaabi Pizza
Fusilli pasta with parmesan cheese sauce (didn't go by the menu)
Blueberry cheese cake

Nawaabi Pizza was disappointing as it was sweet instead of spicy like mentioned in the menu. Like whaaattt? But oh, it was juicy and perfectly cooked.

Fusilli Pasta was well cooked and tasted good. The sauce made it taste even better.

Blueberry cheesecake - hawww đŸ€€ Absolutely luscious! Would legit make you crave for more.

The staff were very kind and courteous.

Little Italy one of the famous vegetarian italian restaurant in the town. I have earlier visited their Nungambakkam outlet and was disappointed . But heard their Teynampet outlet is much better . So tried it today. I must say that it's much better.

I would have given 5 star if not for their slow service . The staff were very courteous but the items were served a little slow. Cannot accept a. 20mins serving time for a Nachos, that too when the restaurant is almost enpty.

We ordered Zupa Di Broccoli , Zuppa Di Cipolle (Spring Onion ) both tasted excellent and was a good start for the tastier items that followed. Starters were Nachos, Garlic bread, Baby Corn Long and Cheese Quesadillas . Garlic bread was one of the best in town. Nachos average . Babycorn Long was yummy and Cheese Quesadillas was the best among the starters. Id say a must try item

For the main we ordered Pasta Barbersca . The taste was really good and mouthwatering. The quantity was more than sufficient for 4 . Also tried mocktail Little Berry. Mix of Kiwi, strawberry and Litchie. It was ok. Not so great.

Overall a nice ambience, courteous staff and tasty food. Id recommend this definitely, especially for my veggie friends. If the restaurant can improve the speed of the service they can get 5 star rating for sure

Little Italy has multiple chains across Chennai and this one did not disappoint.

If you're looking for an affordable place for Italian food, don't look here. But if you're okay with spending a bit, this is a must visit.

The food here is quiet authentic and sticks to the roots of the Italian cuisine. Personal modifications to a certain dish can be requested and is fulfilled. The service and ambience gets plus points too.

The Primavera pasta was loaded with veggies and tasted quite well.

Visited this place for a Monday lunch buffet . The spread was very limited (because of the pricing I guess) with one soup, 3 starters , 2 main course and 3 desserts .
I should say it’s one of the tastiest Italian food I have ever had . The items were so authentic and the presentation was perfect .
Ambience and the staffs were top notch . They give you a feeling a premium fine dine
The only point to be noted is , it’s a vegetarian restaurant . But I should say it will satisfy even the hardcore non veg lovers with its mouth watering cheesy food and amazing service
Looking forward to try thier other items during my next visit .

PS: Their buffet spread is not so vast . It’s better to go for a la carte

Little Italy- La Pizzeria! Named after their vintage name, this place serves the best thin crust pizza's and brings to you the beat of italian cuisine.
Our order was,
1. Cheese Fondue- bowl of melted cheese served with crispy bread pieces and veggies.
2. Asparagi Arancini- deep fried risotto balls filled with mozzarella, asparagus and herbs, & served with their signature tomato sauce.
3. 1/2 Fantasy Pizza- spicy tomato sauce with herbs, cottage cheese, veggies and mozzarella.
4. 1/2 Sicilia Pizza - homemade fresh tomato sauce with topped with mushrooms, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, chili oil and fresh basil.
5. CrĂšme Brulee Citro- classic baked custard, flavoured delicately with orange peel bits and topped with torched crystalized sugar.
The ambience was low lit and amazing. The service was good.
Overall it is one of the best places for some aunthentic Italian.

The first thing I would say about this place is ,
Do not miss the CHOCOLATE BOMB đŸ”„
I loved it.
The overloaded nachos would suffice for four.
If you like mushrooms you could try the funghi starter. I liked it.
Be picky while you are choosing pizza. The thin crust is so good. We ordered tobasco. As the name goes the pizza had the sauce flavour In it.
But I felt like something was missing in the pizza which I eventually balanced it with some toppings ( like we always do )

Had a dinner that consisted of the following,
Soup - Zuppa Di Broccoli
Starter - Crochette al Piselli
Main course - Mellino Pizza ; Masala Mafia Pasta
Dessert - Creme Brulle Citro ; Panna Cotta Basilico

The soup was creamy and tasted good. However I have found their other soups creamier than this. The starter plate consisted of four Crochettes which were quite bland. However, the thousand island dip was well balanced. The pizza was perfect as there was a balance between the sweet peppers and sour olives. Masala Mafia Pasta was an Indian version of pasta and was extremely good. Creme Brulle Citro was a slight let down as the torched layer was soggy. Yet, the orange zest took the dessert up a notch. The basil Panna cotta with a berry sauce was very tasty and was a perfect end to the dinner.
On the whole, it was a very satisfying experience with decent ambience and prompt service.

This place has the best garlic bread I have ever had! It's perfectly buttery yet crispy, and super fresh. Their tartufo pizza is also brilliant, though they seem to lack consistency, as the toppings constantly vary, with them topping the pizza with rocket sometimes and truffle oil occasionally. The Nawabi pizza and lasagne are also very good. I would say the food here is better than the other little Italy's that I have tried.

This is one of the latest ventures of Little Italy and it's a pizza special place located in the busy KB Dasan Road almost right opposite the everlasting SIET college. The place is neatly done up and there isn't anything to scream about the ambiance. It's plain, simple and plays according to proceedings.

We tried the weekend brunch being charged at Rupees 700 all inclusive per person. I found the spread to be very well laid out having a host of items enough to arouse the curiosity of anyone fond of Italian cuisine. They were also very forthcoming in customising things as per our requirements.

Apart from a welcome drink and a couple of starters, the other small bites can be chosen by you directly from the table stack. They had a couple of drinks viz a watermelon as well as a mixed fruit ideal for the heat. The Nachis were inter laden with cheese in abundance and it was nice consuming it along with the salsa sauce. The garlic bread had some interesting variants. The snack side had pita bread and a very pleasing hummus. There were cream crackers and a number of pieces of cheeses and nuts and also some crusted bread to eat along side a spinach based pesto sauce as well as a creamy white sauce paste. There were a few salad varieties too to add to the mix.

On the main course side, there was a noodles and a lasagne based dish with plenty of red kidney beans. In the made to order pasta, we tried a white sauce spaghetti which was marvellous. It had all the arsenal going for it in terms of being creamy, rich and tasty. We tried a sample fare of pizza's and every one of them were lovely. A Sicilian based one especially was a bit spicy and quite different but very good in taste.

On the whole, it was a sumptuous affair. They had all the bases well covered. Enabling us to order any pizza from their extensive menu and not limiting to specifics was another plus. The service was pleasing and ever helpful. If you're on the lookout for good Italian food, Little Italy should definitely be right there on the top of your list.

I have always been a fan of Little Italy and was overjoyed to see their sister branch open up in Teynampet (Closer for me :)). Located right opposite SIET college, it has decent parking facilities.

We went there as a huge group of family folks to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I went ahead and made the reservation, just to be safe.

The ambiance was pleasant and quite cozy. Surprisingly very less noise though being located on a busy road.

In Drinks

Red Granita - It was watermelon juice with Sprite and Lemon, but we asked for the non-soda version and it tasted very mild and good.

In Appetizers

Brushchetta Al Pomodoro - It was nice but would have loved more of the chopped tomato, basil, olive oil toppings across all the breads

Loaded Nachos - was a surprise. It was very well liked by one and all.

In Salads

Caesar Salad - made me love salads all over again

In Soups

Pomodoro Minestrone - A very light tomato soup flavored absolutely perfect with yummy veggies

In Pasta

Barberesca - was an absolute star. So well seasoned, lightly spicy but amazing taste

In Pizza

Sicilia - was a great thin crust pizza with scarce toppings but good taste. It could definitely be loaded up with more veggies to make it wholesome

In Dessert

Ordered the blueberry cheesecake as we had to "cut cake". It was truly magical

Definitely worth a visit again. The staff were very courteous and friendly.

Little Italy is one of my favourite Italian restaurants in Chennai and La pizzeria being it’s sister had to be extraordinary too. I went in to a newly opened Vegetarian restaurant; La pizzeria with huge expectation and they surpassed it.

Location and ambience:
It’s bang opposite SIET college in Teynampet/Alwarpet. With a view of the busy road, the interiors were neat and welcoming.

Foodssdddsdd :
Of course I know the spelling of food. It’s just a personified version of me when I tasted the food. I kinda loved everything that they served that day EXCEPT all their mocktails. It was too tonicy and that is the reason why I gave a 4.5.

Soup - Zuppa D’orzo and their Minestrone soup both were extraordinary in their own ways! Can you have 2 soups during the same meal? Well, I did and it was fabulous.

Starters - The bruschetta platter was yummy but wasn’t unique. So it’s yet another oh-so-tasty dish. But but...the loaded nachos! YUMMY is the word to describe the cheesy, heavy, crunchy Nachos and dips.

Salad - They served their Farmers Salad and it was crunchy and fresh.

Pasta - We had the barbaresco which is a white Sauce pasta tossed with vegetables and herbs. Well, I am a sucker for any sort of decent pasta and this was way more than decent. It was delicious.

They also served Pizzas, Paninis and Risotto but it didn’t create a super huge impact. Nevertheless, they were above average.

Desserts -
Basil Panacota’ and Chocolate bomb both were indeed the best food items that we had that day!

Overall, if you are a fan of Little Italy, You will be a fan of her sister- La pizzeria too..

Little Italy’s La pizzeria was truly delightful experience. Warm and comfy interiors set the right mood for greater indulgence.
Their menu is extensively included soups, salads, appetizers, main course and desserts. It is the best place to fall back on for you pizza, pasta and cheese cravings. La pizzeria has done a brilliant job exposing natural flavors, every bite was scrumptious. salad made of fresh veggies and right seasoning tingles in the mouth. Next, came loaded Nachos, such an eventful affair it was, it was passed around quickly and finished first. Fresco Panini – satisfying and hearty sandwich served with fries and mayo completes the meal. To complement this richness, I ordered their signature dish Chocolate Bomb, yes. Explosive as it sounds, it is sensational. You can’t resist having it every time you go to there.
La pizzeria is one stop restaurant for wide variety of vegetarian Italian food.

Little Italy was one of the first restaurants that brought Italian food to Chennai. And their USP was Italian food that’s purely vegetarian!

They have now ventured into an all day dining restaurant, Little Italy - La Pizzeria. This restaurant giant launched their first franchise of Little Italy - La Pizzeria in Chennai few weeks ago.Italian food and all-day-diner, even better!!

I had my expectations when I entered the restaurant (Who wouldn’t? Such a reputed restaurant, which has been everyone’s favourite for years is doing something different now). The building located right opposite SIET College (the bus stop to be precise), is still under construction. They have enough space for car parking and have a valet as well.

Ambience
The decor, first thing you notice as soon as you step into the restaurant (hell yeah for romantic dinners or lunches).

Soups

1. Pomodoro Minstrone: a traditional Italian tomato soup with vegetables and a cute little string of spaghetti 😍. I love tomato soups. This ones a thin soup, but well flavoured. I enjoyed this till the last drop!
2. Zuppa D’orzo: Hello my health conscious friends! This soup is your best choice. A thyme flavoured barley soup with pumpkin, broccoli and babycorn. This the first time I have tasted a barley soup and it tastes super delicious (I did have my doubts before tasting but this ones really good!)

Appetisers

1. Bruschetta Misto: I would call this bruschetta with a twist! The bruschetta with three types of toppings — chilli jam, pesto and mayo topped with olives. You get two slices each on the platter. All three tasted really good.
2. Fungi Trifolati: addiction! Stir fried mushrooms with olive oil, garlic, pepper, salt, oregano (and other herbs). Honestly I couldn’t stop eating. The flavours worked so well that the eating never stopped!
3. Loaded Nachos: I have never had nachos this good! Nachos loaded with cheese sauce, black beans (rajma), olives, salsa and purple cabbage! Justice done to the name.

Salad đŸ„—
1. Farmers Salad - lettuce with simple dressing of olive oil, chilli flakes, salt, oregano, olives, sliced bell peppers and herbs, minus cheese. This is crunchy and light and not to miss a healthy salad. Weight watching people must order this!

Main Course

Paninis
1. Fresco: panini stuffed with Coleslaw salad
2. Rosti: panini stuffed with aloo Aloo patty
Unfortunately I dint get to test see both but loved how the dish looked. It was served with mayo and loads of fries! A single portion can be shared by 2.

Pasta 🍝
Barbaresca: Sounds fancy noooo? White sauce pasta with herbs, chilli flakes and exotic vegetables. Pasta wasn’t aldente but if you like yours that please let them know. Yum!

Pizza 🍕
Mellino + Sicilia: you should not miss ordering the pizza if you visit little Italy! Why? They have the best thin crust pizzas in the city and have always wooed customers with the taste. Our pizza was a half and half—Mellino is a pizza with cheese, mushrooms, pesto, bell peppers, olives (black and green) and caramelised onions. Sicilia is a simple margarita pizza with caramelised onions and paprika. Every bite melted away 🙄 Need I say more?

Risotto đŸČ
Regio: I am not a risotto person but this one surprised me. So they have customised this risotto to be slightly spicy for Indian pallet. Spinach, broccoli, oregano and basil with chilli flakes. The rice was well cooked (again how Indians like their rice).

Desserts

1. Basil panacota: Creamy panacota infused with subtle flavour of basil, does that little magic to your taste buds, making you go for the next bite!
2. Chocolate bomb (aka Lava Cake): If you are a regular to Little Italy you would definitely know that this is their signature dish! Lava cake with vanilla ice cream drizzle with chocolate sauce 😍 And the party begins when you cut open the cake. Theirs is the best lava cake and taste the same (since I had it the first time in 2008)! Chocolate lovers order two!! 🙈
3. Crem BrĂ»lĂ©e Citro: (What?) So we know Crem BrĂ»lĂ©e, and we all love it! This one comes with the twist. They have added orange zest to the Crem BrĂ»lĂ©e and it taste so delicious that makes you feel this dish should always come with the citrus flavour! (which makes you think why dint people think about this wonderful fusion before? But also makes you feel glad they did this now and you have a place to eat this wonder 🙄)

Mocktails

1. Red granita: Fresh watermelon juice mixed with lime juice and sprite. Such a refreshing summer drink!
2. Orange peach blossom: orange and peach compote mixed with lime juice and sprite. Tastes equally nice but was on the sweeter side for me.

I had an amazing experience. These guys are open to suggestion and want customers satisfaction!

I visited the place today afternoon along with my office colleagues. Mr.Vinoth the manager of the place took good care of us. Since we were twenty of us they arranged 20 seats together. Good ambience. Coming to food we tried two pizzas P26 Tabasco and P32 Mellino both the pizzas were served piping hot and were delicious. Definitely people should try these two pizzas. Tasted milkshakes also and they were good especially The Blueberry shake. Definitely a good place to go on K.B.Dasan Road.

Little Italy’s La pizzeria was truly delightful experience. Warm and comfy interiors set the right mood for greater indulgence. Their menu is extensively included soups, salads, appetizers, main course and desserts. It is the best place to fall back on for you pizza, pasta and cheese cravings. La pizzeria has done a brilliant job exposing natural flavors, every bite was scrumptious. salad made of fresh veggies and right seasoning tingles in the mouth. Next, came loaded Nachos, such an eventful affair it was, it was passed around quickly and finished first. Fresco Panini – satisfying and hearty sandwich served with fries and mayo completes the meal. To complement this richness, I ordered their signature dish Chocolate Bomb, yes. Explosive as it sounds, it is sensational. You can’t resist having it every time you go to there. La pizzeria is one stop restaurant for wide variety of vegetarian Italian food.

Little Italy was one of the first restaurants that brought Italian food to Chennai. And their USP was Italian food that’s purely vegetarian! They have now ventured into an all day dining restaurant, Little Italy - La Pizzeria. This restaurant giant launched their first franchise of Little Italy - La Pizzeria in Chennai few weeks ago.Italian food and all-day-diner, even better!! Beautiful place, brilliant Italian food! Must try!!

Good food, authentic Italian dishes, very good service with real care for their customers. Only downside is that the food is a bit pricey though! But the food was worth the money. Will surely visit again to taste the good Italian delicacies.

Another chain where I have rarely been disappointed with the quality of food and its taste. All their pizzas are thin crust and well baked. We enjoyed the food and would return again.

The buffet is real value for money..... Though lasagna tastes real odd. Otherwise this place deserves a visit... The service is really good too..!

One of the best places for Italian in Chennai. We had their weekday lunch buffet and it was totally worth it.

Food is excellent. Had Broccoli soup and Fantasy pizza. Very well made. Areas for improvement - Menu - Either the light can be brighter or the description of individual menu items can be in a bigger font. It's pretty hard to read. We went for dinner here. Service - Very good. Perhaps the stewards can smile a bit more. They're a bit too stern faced. 🙂

Pizza is really good here and also the salad (had the Greek salad). The starters feel a bit costly when compared with the main courses etc. but then again this seems to be 'normal' in many Indian restaurants. Staff was very friendly and food was brought very quickly. I can definitely recommend this place.

The waiter takes too much extra care to make you feel better. By giving you information about every single dish and asking u about it. Sometimes its good.But If you want some 'US' time. I'm afraid you wouldn't be getting it. Food tasted good

This is a fine dining place for Italian. The flip side is this place does not offer other cuisines except Italian and hence will not appeal to larger audience. The ambience is very good and the dish are excellent. Ordered lasagna, each layer of the dish was baked well and it was very good. Must try for any Italian afficnados

Taste is too good but I feel it is expensive. It was a sit down buffet and the service was slow. By the time they bring the requested item we forget what we asked him to bring, not sure they are doing it purposeful or they are really busy. Very limited options in dessert not sure it is due to a week day. Their Ice scream scoop was so small again not sure they are doing it purposefully.
