Arrabbiata Pasta came to the rescue. Though I am not a fan of the pastas, my first thought was — Italy in a plate. Garnished with chilli spices, it didn’t taper towards spicy but maintained a rather balanced taste. Although arrabbiata sauce is known as an ‘angry’ sauce and even if spicy food is a nemesis, this is an absolute must try. Because I loved the pasta, I felt audacious and tried the Wontons. The filling was deli- cately wrapped in tender dough but nothing prepared me for the first bite. I like mushrooms, I’ll even be brave to say I love them but my taste buds unapologetically dis- agreed. They were juicy but I wouldn’t call them flavourful.
