Tuscany Gardens Candolim — Restaurant in Goa

Ambiance: We visited this place for dinner, and on first impression, we like the place. It's located on the main road so has easy access. It has decent seating arrangements from ground floor in-door to outdoor open air and also first-floor seating with open view. It also has music(most importantly it was not too loud so you can talk to each other). This place is for everyone when we visited there were some families, couples, and youngsters as well. Overall, we liked the place for its location and minimalism, can't comment on the daytime though.

Food: To be honest in terms of value for money, plus location and ambiance, we like the food. We've ordered only a mix of veg/non-veg item from Funghi Arrosto and Pollo Croccante to Penne Bianco with Veg Stagioni Pizza, and to our surprise all food items were delicious, not one item we can point out were not tasty OR something that we can say we didn't like. Overall, we all liked the food.

Staff: This is more of a premium restaurant, and I have found the staff members were well-trained and courteous. They helped us in all manners and also listen to us carefully. They helped us get seated also. They have a decent knowledge of each food item and are even open to suggesting their specialties. Overall, the staff was quite polite and humble, I liked that.

Washroom: We have visited both the handwash area and restrooms, and both were neat and clean, and properly located, exactly the way I prefer. Away from the main dining/seating area.

Verdict: In my personal opinion, you should visit this place, the ambiance is good, the staff is courteous and most importantly the food is quite delicious, family/couple friendly place. I have seen many families/couples coming here for dining. I would love to...

So, an impromptu dinner plan and was in the mood for Italian. As soon as we found out this place close-by, we took a drive and parked it off-street (not much of a parking space). The uber cool setup welcomed us into the world where it all smelled cheesy Italian.

There were two settings for dining (outdoor and indoor). While the indoor space had bar with TV and dim lights, the outdoor was perfect for anyone with candle lights, chill breeze under the trees and LED lights.

Virgin Mary - A weird yet renowned drink made out of Tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce with Tabasco and hint of lime; the initial kick from the drink is all which matters; damn good, smooth tad spicy but wouldn't be everyone's favorite

Virgin colada - This punchy pineapple juice with creamy coconut was OH YEAH!!! It was frothy and sweet, had good flavors along every sip

Veg lasagna - Hot lasagna with toasted veggies, cheesy with tomato and béchamel sauce; the oozing cheese with the saturated taste from every layer of the meal bowl was WOW!! Plumpy and tummy filling for a person

Risotto Pomodoro - BEST risotto ever!! Most favorite of all the Italian servings!! The sundried tomatoes with the spinach and creamy rice was mind-blowing!! Perfectly cooked meal, very mild-spiced and with the creamy tomatoes along every scoop was heavenly, GO FOR IT!!

The service was appreciable with the personnel taking us through right from the start and taking care of the guests until they leave, KUDOS!! Waiting time for food was less and table booking is recommended. They are on the higher end of the price scale but the quality of the food does complete...

Was quite impressed with food the first time and the mocktail italian punch which is good , ambience and service also fine but the second time we visited we were disappointed as the hummus tasted very bland the bread was plain and flavor less and dry . The ravioli of spinach in vegetarian was not cooked well and the gravy was undercooked raw tomato crushed consistency not smooth or flavorful also ravioli had hard texture and raw outer layer . The other disappointment was the dessert mojito which doesn't justify the price I don't know how it's been termed as dessert as it's crushed plain ice in wine glass with lemon juice and supposedly rum flavoured . Charging money for plain crushed ice one spoon in name of dessert is outright wrong . So imagine if u just take some time to eat or drink this mojito dessert the ice will melt and u would basically get lemon juice sharbat in name of dessert . I guess the cook really wants to give the food in shortest time and due to that he undercooked the dishes in a hurry and messed up the taste . Ravioli is quite simple to make in any italian restaurant and if it's been messed up like an amateur cooked dish then it's a shame . Well the first experience made us come again to eat at this place but the second one has left a bad experience. Not...
