Rest :Spagetti Kitchen
Meal : Lunch
Date : 31/3/2006
Location :High Street, Phoenix.
Company : Palak, Vishal
Experience - Not very crowded, although it got busy right after we settled in around 1. Unfortunately we got suckered into the ground floor vs our splendid first floor corner table.
Order - Tomato soup with lime and something for palak, mushroom capuccino for me, thin crust margerita with jalapenos and mushroom, Penne Arrabiata, Garlic bread with cheese,
Drinks - Ice tea lemon, ice tea peach.
Food : I thought the mushroom capuccino was great but then i tasted the roast tomato which was DIVINE. Thats what i am getting next time around. I got these two little breadlets with mushrooms which were fantastic. I wonder if they have a whole dish like that. The garlic bread was good, enough garlic and enough cheese, melted in your mouth. The Pizza was good, i wouldnt recommend jalapenos because they are FIERY but it was well made, and crisp. The Penne was good but dissapointing. I dont know what was missing, but there was no bite in the taste. It wasnt bad but it wasnt complementary enough for the rest of the meal. The Ice tea lemon was really good, the peach was too sweet.

Cafe Basilico
Rest :Cafe Basilico
Meal : Dinner
Date : 23/3/2006
Location :Colaba opp the Gulf Hotel.
Company : Kunal.
Experience - A reasonably crowded time. not too empty not too full. The service was quite prompt. Its an enjoyable place, you feel like you might be in Brooklyn by the looks of it.
Order - After very much deliberation and because my friend Kunal was running late i went for a Mediterranean sandwich, followed by a Pasta
Drinks - Water
Food : The sandwich was interesting. The falafal was kind of hard, the hummus was tasty, the whole package worked well. Unfortunately the size isnt nearly filling. They serve overnbaked potato as a side. However it is not the kind served in steakhouses or Arbys Stateside. It is chopped potato with spices on it. Which was super dissapointing. The pasta was the same as the one i had last time, but i forgot to ask them to hold the olives, which dropped the taste down a few notches. It was still quite tasty but not near as heavenly as last time. The bread on the side continues to be the onion laced focaccia. I would much prefer a bread basket.
