Indians and their growing love for Italian dishes have even small joints featuring pasta and pizza on their menus. It is one of the few global cuisines which has appealed to the palates, and locals enjoy variations of dishes without Indianising them.
The popularity of pizza has even forced popular chains to explore variations like chicken tikka, momo, makhani pizza, etc. If you are living in Bengaluru, you have various options to satiate your cravings for cheese, tiramisu, and other Italian delights. Check out this trail.
