Wood Fired Friday

Aastha-An authentic desi pizza with curd!

Focaccia

Minestrone Soup











We went to our favourite restaurant Tuscana last Friday.This is one of the best places for Italian food in Chennai.It has even won the times food award for being the same.We started off with Minestrone col Pesto soup,a traditional vegetable soup with pistachio pesto and olive oil.This soup tasted simply divine.Yummy and slurpy and the same time.For starters we ordered Focaccia all 'Aglio e cipolla, a flat bread with roasted garlic and onions.This was a great side kick for the soup.For the main course we ordered an Indian flavoured Pizza called Aastha.It had paneer tikka,masala tomato sauce,sweet pepper and onions with curd &cilantro.This was like eating roti with paneer as side side.It was an authentic desi pizza with curd!This place is for keeps so will go back there again.This post is going to Weekend wrap up hosted by patty.
