Wedged between a string of tile and hardware stores stands SoBo's new all-day Italian bistro
u00a0
The chatter tends to wear your patience thin, but if you are able to drown the din while focusing on your Wheat Crepe Bake, the evening will be worth it.
The roast Tomato Soup (Rs 95) was a bowl of satisfaction, unlike the Rocket Parmesan Mozzarella and Tomato Salad (Rs 140).
The hand that dunked the salt and vinegar needs to exercise serious control. The Parmesan shavings were barely there, and the Mozarella tasted like Cheddar.
The Whole Wheat Crepes (Rs 220) stuffed with pan-roasted veggies baked in tomato cream is a dish we suggest you pick off the main course.
The white sauce and shroud of cheese ruin its chances of being low-cal, but the magic words "whole wheat" let you attack the casserole and your guilt, with measured aggression.

The all-veg eatery is proud of its wood-fired pizzas; ultra-thin crust loaded with generous toppings. The 4 Cheese Pizza (Rs 360) was divine, although we missed our glass of Merlot.
The Three-Grain Risotto (Rs 290) was made from cracked wheat, barley, Arborio, topped with creamy Parmesan, zucchini and kalamata olives a must try.

Bellagio also serves sandwiches, pasta, coffee, dessert (give staid chocolate a miss and go for the Walnut Tart), tea and refreshers (we were told only Fresh Watermelon was available from a list of four).

At: Botawala Building, opposite Old Customs House, near Asiatic Library, Fort. From 11 am to midnight. No alcohol. Vegetarian only. Call: 22660066
