There was a time when Sunday afternoons, for me, meant a long drive — with five people squeezed into a Maruti 800 — to the outskirts of Coimbatore for a hearty Italian meal. The city was still insular when it came to food. So when an eatery like “Eat Alley” serving authentic pizza and fresh sauces opened up right in the heart of the city, it opened up our minds and our palates as well.
When I see the array of Italian restaurants in every nook and corner these days, I find it difficult to imagine those days when few could tell their pasta from their pesto. But today, Italian food is arguably the most popular among all global cuisines in India. Ihere is one cuisine that occupies the throne, it’s Italian. And that is just what even makes the restaurant believe.
Eat Alley in Saibaba Colony and Sungam has their two different verticals ‘The Fruit Creamery’, that provides fruitilicious ice creams, delicious waffles and milkshakes and ‘Nukkad’, a desi chaat shop.
The restaurant serves many dishes like – Signature short bites – Bruschetta, garlic bread, masala garlic bread, funghi trifolati, herbs garlic bread, bachos with cheese / salsa, spibacu salsa.
All time favourite – Pastas – Bolognese, aglio olio e peperonicino, all arabbiata, pasta del fattore, pasta de zia cuncetta, primavera, pasta del barone, pasta barbaresca, lasagbe alla napoletana.
The best thin crust pizzas – Margherita, fantasy, Tabasco, rustic, sicilia, pizza toe toe. When you eat any kind of dish from Eat Alley, what makes it unique is the simplicity of the Italian kitchen, its warmth and heartiness that really connects with our taste buds. Also, the pizza crust is made from scratch every day to imbibe freshness without sacrificing on the authenticity and quality. The restaurant is also providing exciting offers up to 10%.
