A Layover in Style: Our Stay at Renaissance Concourse Atlanta Airport Hotel

During a recent layover in Atlanta, we had the chance to stay at the Renaissance Concourse Atlanta Airport Hotelโ€”and it turned out to be much more than just a stopover. From a smooth check-in and warm hospitality to the breathtaking runway views from my balcony, the experience was a dream come true for any aviation enthusiast. Whether you're into plane spotting or simply looking for a comfortable stay near ATL, this hotel delivers a unique blend of comfort and aviation charm.

Si Nonna’s – The Original Sourdough Pizza

Si Nonnaโ€™s at Inorbit Mall, Vashi, offers a delightful wood-fired sourdough pizza experience with a cozy, minimalistic ambiance. From the delicious Panuozzo to the perfectly baked 4-cheese pizza and heavenly tiramisu, the food impressed us. Friendly service and a relaxed vibe made our celebration truly memorable!

Our recent visit to Pizza Express, Viviana Mall, Thane, was disappointing. Poor service, bland pizza, and long waiting times overshadowed the good vegetarian platter and tiramisu. Despite prior reservations, the staff was inattentive, adding to the frustration. While desserts saved the day, we wonโ€™t return to this outlet anytime soon.

Mad Doh – Sourdough Pizzeria & Bakes, Mulund (W)

Craving a wood-fired pizza, we decided to visit Mad Doh - Sourdough Pizzeria & Bakes, a pure vegetarian restaurant located in Mulund West. The ambience was serene and minimalist, with a white color palette, natural light, and simple wooden furniture. We started with a Guava Mojito and Classic Roasted Cheese Garlic Bread, which tasted good but didnโ€™t quite meet our expectations of sourdough. The Pizza Ortolana had good flavor but lacked a crisp base, and the dessert, Tiramisu, was underwhelming. While the meal was pleasant, we look forward to trying more authentic pizzerias in town next time.
