Read moreGot my Zomato gold and which better place to start with than this? The most authentic Italian restaurant in the vicinity. Went here with colleagues post office. The restaurant is easy to locate in the bustling Koramangala 5th Block. Decent decor, mostly wooden. Very pleasing and welcoming vibe which is a plus. We were three of us and this is what we ordered.
Pizza Di Chianti: A fine dish with exotic toppings like olives, mushroom, chicken and other veggies with the right amount of cheese. It tasted brilliant.
Lasagne D Agnello: Minced lamb lasagne which had a perfect balance of flavor, strength and density. The lamb was really fresh and went really well with the other components of the dish.
Fettuccine Siciliana: Pasta with chicken chunks, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, creamy white sauce topped with red chilly. This dish will fill you single handedly. The white sauce was perfect in texture and not too thick unlike other places. The chicken was tender and succulent. The Fettuccine pasta was long tender strands which was cooked to perfection. Loved this dish.
Petto D Anatra Arrosto: Best duck dish I've had till date. This dish is just spectacular. The medium crunch duck strips, the mushroom risotto, the orange sauce, and the sauces all go hand in hand. The duck however takes the spotlight. That aroma, that tenderness, that flavor which explodes in your mouth after every single bite is totally mesmerising. A must try dish.
The staff were friendly and courteous. They can improve on their service though. It gets slow as the crowd builds. All in all, a great...

The place is heavy on the pocket, and portions are smaller, but the quality overshadows it. Their hospitality was something I had never experienced anywhere before. We started the dinner with the on-the-house DIY garlic bread. Luckily my friend knew the procedure and helped me prepare it, but do not hesitate to ask the attendant for help. Important point! Before you order any item, ensure you understand all its content. I suggest you use Google Translate as their menu is in English but with Italian names.
Next, we had PROSCIUTTO E MELONE. It is thin slices of ham with fresh Melon, Mint & Olive Oil. Although I’m not a fan of melons, I gobbled up this one pretty fast. My taste buds loved the complimenting taste of the savory ham and the sweetness of the melon.
Next came the exquisite giant prawns or GAMBERI ALLA GRIGILIA. These finely cooked Tiger Prawns come with a lemon, capers, and butter sauce with grilled vegetables. The prawns were soft, and the sauce lifted the taste even better.
Having had such exotic items, we moved to the traditional pizza, FRUTTI DI MARE. The pizza has mixed seafood toppings and mozzarella.
We ended our dinner on a sweet note with their BOMBA DI CIOCCOLATO or a Chocolate Bomb with Vanilla Ice Cream. It is a better version of the lava cake we get elsewhere.
I have relished their renowned Spaghetti Aglio Olio and Risotto at their other locations.
Cheers! Oops, I...
