Not the authentic Italian restaurant that you would expect yourself transported to Italy through your tastebuds, but Ci Gusta is a good idea of Italian cuisine just like most restaurants leaning towards Italian cuisine with the obvious pizzas, pastas and panuozzos. This restaurant sits amidst the posh localities of Jubilee hills close to Madhapur. It’s neither too opulent and ambient nor uncomfortable and unsettling and unseeable. It’s just a normal wooded restaurant with a fast food centre’s seating. Straight off the hook, it gives the feel of a budgeted Italian restaurant however, its prices aren’t exactly budget-friendly. I was seated with my cousin at a table and it wasn’t quite busy probably because it was a weekday. After thorough reading of the menu we settled to order the Spiced Broccoli Popcorn with Spicy Paprika Aioli, The Farmer’s Market Pizza without Mushrooms and with a Burrata topping, a Ci Gusta Hot Chocolate and The Mango. The Spiced Broccoli Popcorn, well, can’t complain much about it but it is as obvious as the crispier version of Cauliflower Pakoras. The flavour was delicious. Not exactly spicy in anyway yet it packs a punch. It’s a fun appetiser but not exactly the best. A bit boring but not much to complain about as said. Coming to the pizza, it was just delicious. I’m glad that there are ways to customise your food the way you like and add an extra topping as you please on the top. However, I would’ve like by Burrata topping be solid ball on the top for some theatrics as I cut into it rather than shredding and spreading it over the top. The Tomato sauce was obviously locally sourced and it was too similar to the tomato sauce put over pizza pies at fast food restaurants like Dominos which is truly a shame. On the whole, it was tasty, not extraordinary, not mind-blowing, just good enough or maybe marginally better. The Hot Chocolate was dark and delicious and not too sweet. However, it wasn’t moreishly sweet and not thick enough. Again, it was ordinarily great. Coming to the dessert, it certainly seemed to do some extraordinary business. The range of gelatos looked absolutely stunning and the range of desserts, even more spectacular. Given the mango season, I was glad to see the dessert menu project a mango forward dessert menu. The Mango was the name of the dessert. It was a mango resembling entremet. A sweet alphonso mango compote at the centre on top of a thin sponge with a vanilla mousse covering it penultimately and a final layering of white chocolate glazed in hues of mango. It was slightly a bit too sweet for my tasting, but huge props go to it for how it was executed and presented. The service was excellent. The staff were attentive and tend to the customers needs spontaneously and I was happy with the service. The Sandwiches really looked the business for their presentation. I didn’t have the stomach to stuff them too but I shall most certainly come back to try them out. All in all, it’s a fine restaurant, regardless of its want to stand as high-end fine dine, its attention to food and ambience never gives anything beyond budgeted vibes. Nothing is a disaster but nothing is above ordinary either. It does make for a good visit at the end of the...

Ci Gusta is an Italian Gelato which means

We like it ‘. This popular Italian franchise which serves a wide variety of exuberant Gelatos has its outlet setup at Madhapur, Hyderabad. This causal dining outlet/cafe serves from colourful Artisan Gelatos to early morning strong and good premium coffees. It serves moderately priced food in a comfortable ambience which provides an affordable dining experience . It is just two feet from the busiest roads of Madhapur with a quaint atmosphere, perfect for someone who loves Italian cuisine. I’ve been to this outlet with a group of foodie friends for a Sunday morning breakfast. As it was Sunday morning things were slow at the cafe ,

rather meditative ‘. The atmosphere was calm and the ambience seemed bright with colourful photo frames of food, circular mirrors and other basic decor. An L - shaped counter displaying colourful flavours of Gelatos can be viewed as you enter through the main entrance and as you pass through them you’ll find small to high end electric coffee machines on the longitudinal side of the counter with a pleasant aroma of coffee oozing out of the equipments. On the right side there’s a comfortable seating area with movable wooden tables by the glass end of the outlet and low sofa seating towards the spacious inner area of the cafe.

We started with English breakfast buffet which included crispy toast with butter/jam , fried eggs with perfectly cooked whites and runny yolk , sliced tender chicken breast sausages which had distinctive flavour, perfectly baked beans , fluffy hash browns fried to perfection served along with slightly spicy and sweet tomato chutney. This complete breakfast tray looked like a premium morning breakfast served at a star hotel, which costs only 399/- at this outlet.

Chicken chorizo Fried eggs with perfectly cooked whites and yolk that flows as you disturb it with the cutlery is topped with flavoursome onion gravy served along with crusty toast in a blue ceramic bowl was an eye candy to look at.

Homemade Granola This dish couldn’t get any better! This was a light and healthy breakfast dish which included crunchy granola with apple and strawberry segments served along with milk.

Foxtail Millet Upma Foxtail Millet popularly know as Thinai in India is said to be one of the most healthiest breakfast dish and also easy to prepare. This one was light , colourful looking with veggies and a splash of tomato chutney and coriander garnish. This dish lightens up your mood and gives you a fresh feel.

Pancakes , Crepe’s & Waffles It felt like a perfect weekend morning with fluffy pancakes in my plate. The pancake had perfect chewable texture and tasted fantastic with maple syrup.

This outlet serves thin and delicious crêpes with a layer of fresh cream ,fruits and maple syrup topping. Garnishing with mint leaves made it look appealing and mouthwatering.

The bubble waffles were a eye catchy fancy dish which was crispy fun and delicious dish to eat at this outlet. The presentation of this dish made it a photogenic delicacy and also a perfect treat to the tastebuds on a lazy...
