Date of visit: 31 May 2025
Location: Ground Floor, Arun Complex Near CH Jewelers, behind Old HDFC Bank, Alkapuri, Vadodara, Gujarat 390007, India
Last night, I visited Italian Affair in Vadodara, and it was quite an experience! From starters to dessert, every dish was thoughtfully prepared and bursting with authentic Italian flavors.
Here’s a quick rundown of what I tried and loved:
🥕Zuppa di Carota (Carrot Soup) 🥕
This healthy Italian carrot soup was a great start. The natural sweetness of the carrots combined beautifully with garlic and a hint of peppercorns made it comforting and flavorful.
I’d rate it 8/10 — simple but satisfying.
🥖Stuffed Cheese Garlic Bread 🥖
Farm-fresh bread loaded with garlic, cheese, onions, bell peppers, green chili, and spicy tomato sauce seasoned with Italian herbs. It was cheesy, tangy, and just the right amount of spicy — super delicious!
Definitely an 8.5/10 from me.
🧀Grilled Cottage Cheese in Chef’s Special Sauce 🧀
Cottage cheese marinated in Italian herbs, grilled perfectly, and served on a bed of tomato & pesto ragu. The sauce was slightly sweet initially but finished with a fresh basil kick. The cottage cheese was soft and well-spiced —
a solid 9/10.
🥦Cheese Fondue with Croutons & Exotic Veggies 🥦
This was the highlight! Melted cheese infused with Italian herbs, paired with perfectly cooked, sweet vegetables like carrots and broccoli — simply heavenly. The fondue was rich, and dipping the veggies and bread made it an unforgettable experience.
A full 10/10 from me.
🍕Juliana Pizza 🍕
A wood-fired thin base pizza topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, onion, capsicum, sundried tomatoes, jalapeno, olives, chili oil, and coriander. It was loaded with fresh veggies and cooked just right. Though a bit spicy for me, spice lovers will adore it.
I scored it 7/10, but dipped in cheese fondue? That’s a 10/10 experience.
🍫The Chocolate Bomb🍫
An amazing twist on the classic chocolate lava cake, served with vanilla ice cream. The cake was spongy and bursting with gooey chocolate sauce — a perfect sweet ending to the meal.
No doubts here, a 10/10 must-try!

The total bill was around ₹3200 (about $39 USD), which felt a bit on the higher side but justified by the quality and flavors of the food.
