Do you know sign language?
Well.. we actually stopped to get into grains of paradise (peppers) but since the crowd there scared us of the waiting time that mite follow, we unanimously decided to try italian on the next floor since indian seemed boring now! Spotless white decor kinda looked elegant but the curtains and the wall cushions almost made it look like a hospital?..
The worst is yet to come.. the service! what the hell is rong with the management? cant they find someone who can .. for god's sake atleast.. speak? u don need to kno italian but atleast english? it is impossible to communicate to the waiters, seriously there were some 20 of 'em and not one cud speak loudly leave alone speak english. Noone knew anything bout the menu, neither could they understand wat we were tryin to say/ask! We lost all the energy that we gained by eatin trying to get some service! I can find u ppl in chennai who are lookin for jobs!
Comin to the food, i was almost ready to tick it off, pissed with the service. They brought the chili flakes in oil (which btw was not olive oil) and never gave bread on the house. When i asked a waiter, he shaked his head insensibly and walked away! But hey the food was actally great, as much as i wish it wasnt! The soup was too damn yummy to even let go of the last sip. The pizza (fantasia) where we removed coriander and added red pepper and pineapple was crispy and yummy! But it took us 30 mins to explain the toppings to the waiter.. no m not exaggerating! The MMafia pasta (spaghetti) was yummy too! Finally we found the manager who could comprehend the Queen's language a little and asked if we cud get bread but that person marketed a stuffed-bread starter which we were not very happy to have after the main course and so returned without eating. But hell we were charged on the bill and then removed after 30 to 40 mins of notice! If you dont have a lota time (and energy) in hand, don even consider this place...
Oh yea, all of a sudden the manager rushes with napkins and runs across our table laying it on our laps without an 'excuse me' or 'sorry'. Oh i forgot they don speak here! and this was just before desserts. After a good laugh, we asked for the desserts menu but it was cruly denied to us since we returned the stuffed garlic bread. We had to order caramel pudding as they said tiramisu wasnt available. But the geloto that was also not available to us was available to the next table! Well, its ok to lose yummy food but am not going here again! Ah btw, for the quantity served, the prices are ridiculous, even Osteria (which i heard is awesome) is cheaper it seems!
Ambiance - Frankly am confused :D so lets be safe and fair and say 3/5
Food - 4/5
Service - 2/5
Price - Definitely more than 1000 bucks with desserts (if available) for a couple
Will i go back again? - Not really, too many options are there now for veggie yummy italian.. there is still Osteria to try!

But on second thoughts, its the ambiance and service that puts me off.. any chances of door delivery of the yummy food?

now that saves me the trouble....
but then again, you never know, i kind of liked the Grains of P... so one day when it is busy, we may be tempted to go up one flight of stairs.
hmmm.. will try to conjure memories of this, to make an argument against it. :)
HA HA HA...that is what I have to say to Mafia. It was a pathetic experience for me and hubby too. There were 20 waiters and only 3 tables to serve still none was available for even a glass of water. They were just loafing around chatting among themselves. We had to finally get the attention of the manager himself to get a glass of water. The food was alright....Indianized Italian is the best way to sum it up....But I do know one thing....we will never go there again.
