A Cozy Night at Si Nonna’s: Pizza, Croquettes, and a Surprisingly Heartwarming Gelato

Recently, I visited Si Nonna’s again. I hadn’t planned on going back, but it just happened. It was a very cold night, and I was craving pizza, so we decided to go there. This time, we ordered pizza number 4, which consisted of fior di latte mozzarella, ricotta cheese, blue cheese, aged parmesan, homemade jalapeño salsa, homemade cherry tomato confit, fresh basil, and EVOO. We also ordered mozzarella and jalapeño croquettes.

First, the croquettes arrived. They were okay, but not great. The filling was small, and there wasn’t enough of it, so I wasn’t particularly impressed.

Then, our pizza came. We added a little more olive oil and tried to do a cheese pull, but it didn’t work out as expected. However, the taste of the pizza was really good — flavorful and satisfying.

Although we were pretty full, there’s always room for dessert, right? I saw gelato and decided to try some. I ordered Sicilian pistachio gelato. It turned out to be delicious — so tasty from the very first bite. I still crave it! However, I had certain expectations, like the ones you see in food vlogs on YouTube, but it wasn’t quite like that. It was just a simple scoop for 250 INR.

While I enjoyed the taste, in that moment, I reminded myself not to judge a book by its cover — the saying is true. I know for sure I’ll crave it again. We paid 1,498 INR in total, but that gelato won my heart.

Had very bad experience at Tien restaurant

Visited Tien yesterday, which is an Asian restaurant. The menu was good, with a lot of options to try from. After looking through the menu, we ordered crispy edamame rolls, a grilled three-cheese sandwich, spicy miso ramen (vegan), and coconut panna cotta. Unfortunately, the only thing we liked was the cheese inside the sandwich. However, the cheese was only mozzarella, even though they had mentioned three types of cheese. The ramen portion was very small considering the cost. The rolls we received were only two cut in the half. The dessert, the coconut panna cotta, was tasteless. There was literally no taste at all. All we did was waste our money. These 4 items cost us 1716rs. Not to be mean or rude, but its not worth the money. Try it at your own risk. I wouldn't recommend it.

Finally, we are in Malvan 25 march 2024

Early in the morning, we reached Kolhapur around 5:30-5:45 am and went to the bus station, catching the first bus to Malvan at 6:30. The distance from the railway station to the bus station is only about 1.5 km, but the auto driver charged us 40 rupees because it was morning. Actually, the bus was scheduled for 6 am, but it got delayed reaching the Kolhapur bus station, so we had no choice but to wait. We arrived in Malvan around 11:30 am. We had pre-booked Hotel Aishwarya for 4 nights, which cost us only 7500 rupees, including breakfast. Since our check-in was at 12, we waited in the lobby, where they served us refreshments and a welcome drink, kokum sarbat. After checking in, the first thing we did was freshen up and get ready for lunch, as it was already 1 o'clock. We quickly rented a bike and headed to a nearby restaurant, Hotel Chaitanya, known for its seafood and also serving vegetarian thali. So, we ordered two Vegetarian thali's. However, the service was so slow that we...

Going back home, 30 March 2024

We woke up around 8 as we had a bus to Pune around 9-10, but we couldn't take the AC buses due to my cough, which made me feel sad for Bubbles. We had complimentary breakfast at the hotel, which included options like bread with butter and jam, poha, khichadi, and tea/coffee. Since I had a cough, I didn't eat anything but had some hot water instead. After breakfast, we checked out and went to the bus stand, where we found many buses heading to Pune. We slept for most of the journey and reached Pune around 4pm. After reaching home, we didn't do much except sleep. Xoxo 💓 Gujjugirl
