Say Ciao to Pooja Hegde who has embarked on a luxurious Italian vacation. And an Italian getaway is incomplete without trying scrumptious cuisine; primarily, cheese, cold cuts, gelattos, and wine. The actress echoes a similar sentiment. Following the “map to la dolce vita,” she treated herself to a range of dishes while on a city tour in Leece. Pooja's gastronomical adventure, as seen in her Instagram carousel, began with Prawn Linguine and a glass of fresh lime soda. Next, she slurped on a strawberry gelato cone ice cream. Her culinary venture ended with the staple Italian specialty — a bowl of delicious spaghetti, topped with mushrooms and basil leaves. Found yourself drooling? It is Pooja Hegde to blame.
