About Company

Little Italy Express Food Pvt Ltd. We are happy to inform you that Little Italy brings great career opportunity for the fresher those who are having good skills in F&B Service and Food Production. Let us share few details about us.



We can proudly say that Little Italy pioneered the romance that is associated with Italian cuisine in India. We started our journey from Pune as La Pizzeria at a time when very few people in India knew the taste & authenticity of this cuisine. Then, circa 1995, in a rather daring move the company launched its outlet at Mumbai. It was perhaps at this time the name Little Italy evolved, as the aim became to offer a full range of Italian cuisines to our customers.



During the years 1995-2000, Little Italy became synonymous with World Class Italian Cuisine and a favorite place for celebrities to dine. In the year 2000, we opened our first franchise outlet and since then there has been no stopping the brand. For us, it was about serving more people and titillate their taste buds. Now, guests enjoy several of our Italian delicacies in more than 35 outlets across 17 major cities in India and abroad.
