Basil and Olives — Restaurant in Jaipur Municipal Corporation

Except ambience it has nothing to offer. Even after a impressive discount of 50% it felt like rip off.

The pasta was dipped in sauce like noodles in soup. Lasagna was sold in name of ravioli. The sauce was extremely salty on top of that, the same white sauce was used for pesto pasta but little basil was added to give it color.

If it wasn't for ambience I would give it -1 rating if possible. The food was that bad and considering most people will pay full price here, they are getting scammed badly.

5 star ratings are probably from paid reviewers. I refuse to accept somone can give 5 star after eating their food.

When I was here the place was empty and it's understandable no one woupd want to visit here after experiencing once.

Edit - The audacity of owner to call my review fake. The pic I posted is homemade pasta? Then how does the plate looks like one from your cafe? Added more pics where you can see your own table too.

I have tried authentic from much superior places compared to yours. Yours is nowhere close to authentic and you are literally selling lasagna and calling it ravioli. Do you know what ravioli is? Hell nah, your's doesn't even look closer to what ravoli is. It eas literally pasta sheet above musrooms not stuffed.

I think a quick google should tell you and your chef the difference. Parmesan doesn't make the sauce salty. It just add a slight flavour which might feels salty. You sauce literally was filled with salt, small sprinkle of parmesan doesn't defend the sauce flavour.

You have ever eaten pesto in your life? Why don't you go and try pesto from actual authentic italian cafes of jaipur and see what it actually tastes like.

Pesto is not just basil there are other ingridients too and it is not mixed with white sauce is pesto pasta.

Leaving a review after 5th regular visits and after trying half of the menu.

Food is authentic and can stimulate your taste buds if you are an Italian food lover and not looking for a different cuisine with Indian spices! The atmosphere is ok. It just depends on the time of the day and other visitors how you see it. Views are definitely worth it! Some items are underpriced like wrap, burgers etc, while some are overpriced like regular pasta. Once discounts go away, it will hurt! With my 5th visit, I could notice the difference in serving quantity. It could be one big reason why regulars will walk away as they are used to your generosity. Water bottles need to be paid separately otside dine out payment. Such tiny things can bring down the overall impression. You are running a restaurant, just manage instead of asking customers to pay in two parts! All the servers so far are genuinely happy to serve. It creates good vibes. The owner's family is there to check on customers, it's a nice gesture and definitely leaves a personal touch.

Overall it feels like a restaurant trying its best to leave a decent impression and thriving well.

Still in...

I don't really understand the high review score to be honest. We waited 45 minutes for our drinks, one dish arrived after 20 minutes, the other one after an hour. Since it was a complex order we are not complaining about the time itself but the fact they the food wasn't served together. They said sorry' for the wait, but the timing made it feel like we were not really having dinner together... Also they just put a water bottle on your desk and charge 60rp for that (which is really a lot compared to other prices in india).

First waiter was very nice, afterwards it was okay. Complaint about the Service is about the poor handling of timing.

The food was mixed, burger was really simple and quite a small portion. The Indian food was good but the overall prices are pretty high. The mocktails are really simple as well, also Mojito is also a mocktail, even though this isn't mentioned on the menu.

All in all not bad but really nothing fancy, quite pricey for what it is but the view from the terrace is...
