EVOO - Delhi — Restaurant in Delhi

Detailed review.

Alike most eateries in Malviya, this one also has limited seating. Mind you it’s a reservation only restaurant so it’s best to call and reserve in advance. The ambience is comforting and the lighting is rather dim, I’ll say it is good for dates if you have gotten a sophisticated crowd around. The problem is since the carpet area is small, the seating arrangement is almost congested and this normally isn’t the problem but the couple right behind us were extremely loud so that definitely was an annoyance to bear. First off entering the restaurant the guard was preoccupied with helping the guests park so I had to open the door myself. Next when I entered the restaurant nobody attended to me at all and I just stood there staring into nothingness and finally gave in to approach a server saying Ive got a reservation under name xyz. This was a minor thing but they were fully staffed that day and there were many servers so it’s very odd that nobody themselves bothered to ask me what I even want. It might seem nitpicky but I had very high hopes especially because of how popular this eatery is. Other than this once I was shown my table it went smoothly. It’s honestly just the little things that make or break your experience.

We ordered a 4 cheese pizza, a grilled veggie sandwich and gnocchi in tomato sauce.

Pizza was brought pretty early I think within 5-10 minutes. Honestly the best 4 cheese I’ve had in Delhi, the second best Neopolitan style/ sourdough pizza overall in my experience. However it’s fair game that my options are always limited owing to the fact that Im vegetarian so this review is based on that only. Overall a 9/10. Delicious.

The grilled veg panuozzo came later and I hated it to the core?? The bread seemed very very think in comparison to the veggies stuffed inside and I could not taste any of the cheese because of how strong and sour the veggies inside were! Also the filling to bread ratio was so off the bottom came SOGGY! A very depressing sandwich, Subway makes them better than this. I get the chef might’ve wanted the veggies to be the centre of attention there, but honestly the veg didn’t taste like themselves even. It was just a sour goopy mess. I hope their other sandwiches are better and heck hope this was the worst they had ever done and they serve them better otherwise. 1/10

The gnocchi took awfully long to get done. Almost 50 minutes. Plus we were done with what we had previously ordered and just sat there idly waiting for 15-20 minutes, which seemed quite exhausting. Anyway. The gnocchi was tasty, very tender, and seared to perfection on the outside, plus the sauce was really fresh too, if only there wasn’t this much olive oil right on the sauce. Personally not a fan of the emulsion the acidity of the tomatoes made when harmonised with the oil. Still very decadent. 8/10.

One coke can plus services was also ordered which was I think 175inr.

Overall verdict is it’s worth a try long as you go with an open mind. Authentic Italian is an acquired taste.

Regarding the price, most decent restaurants charge upwards of 2k for 2 people so not surprised that 3 main items and a soda was around 2200 for the two of us, inclusive of a 10% discretionary service charge. Except for the godawful sammie it was worth it, even though we drove some 15kms just to get there.

PS. Genuinely curious why a restaurant serving Italian food has the most Parisian cafe-esque music playing. Very amusing and definitely something I...

One of my best dining experiences for authentic Italian food!!. I have been to many Italian restaurants and this places high up on my list of favourites.

We took a table for 3 on a Sunday evening. It was decently crowded. Reservations are a must before visiting because they are quite popular especially on weekends.

We ordered caprese salad , it was topped with fresh homemade basil pesto and balsamic.

For mains we ordered the truffle burrata pizza with bacon chips, margarita and pistachio pesto pizza(half and half), both pizzas were delicious and perfectly baked and tasted great. Could have little more seasoning in my opinion.

The pan seared river sole took the trophy for me, it was soft and scrumptious and the risotto paired with it was not too overwhelming or rich, perfectly balanced.

I also got one of the special menu items ‘Cacio e pepe’ made with handmade Pici pasta. It satisfied every raving I had been having this type of pasta. Perfectly al dente.

We also got a lamb ragout stuffed pasta, it was good but not the highlight of our meal.

For dessert we got the stuffed cannelloni, one with with vanilla beans ne other with pistachio cream, both were so decadence, delicious and satisfying, perfect ending to a perfect meal.

Looking forward to visiting this place many more times in...
