Cucina Fresca - Italian Joint — Restaurant in Karnataka

Been trying to visit the place for over 5-6 months now. Every time there was one or the other unexpected coincidences..They didn't open the place regularly i believe. Now they do.

Visited for lunch. They don't have a lot of dining space. Just 2 tables which could accommodate around 8 people.

We were politely greeted. The scorching summer afternoon made us order the goli soda.. Ended up drinking 3 bottles each...My favourites are lemon and orange

We ordered

Pasta - Mamarose sauce - Penne I loved it. The sauce was good. Overall it was fresh and delicious.

Pizza Piri piri Paneer : Loved it. We made it a bit spicier as per our choice. Wish I could have paired it with chilled beer. But the soda was not bad.. Nonetheless, it was still a good combination BBQ Paneer : This was good too. Asked to make it extra cheesy. Still, if compared, i would rank piri piri paneer higher than this

Desserts Lemon Drizzle Cake : we were almost full by the time we got to desserts. So I ordered just one. This was yummy. Tasted differently but loved it.. Wish they attempt to make a cheesecake with this flavor.

Service was not slow Street parking Limited seating Priced right for the...

Run by a passionate Coorgi chef who started from a humble 90 sq. ft. space in Saraswatipuram, this place is all heart. With over 10 years of experience in top restaurants across various countries, the chef clearly knows his craft—and it shows in the food.

I tried the creamy pesto macaroni pasta (veg) and the walnut brownie. The pasta was rich in flavor, not overloaded with cheese (which I personally appreciate—pasta should be more than just melted cheese). The macaroni could have been a little softer, but it was still tasty. The brownie was dense and a bit sticky in texture, could’ve been smoother, but still enjoyable.

Only drawback (at least currently) was it was served on paper plates. The heat of the pasta makes it soak into the paper making you force yourself eat faster to prevent it to happen. This slightly burned my tongue in the process. This seating is also limited at the moment, obviously due to their space constraints.

That said, this place has a lot of promise. I’d recommend ordering online for now and truly hope they expand soon—with better seating and serving ware, they’ll offer an even better...

My search for a decent italian food place seems to have finally come to an end. I stumbled upon it via Instantgram and found this tiny place quite near my home. There are just two little tables on the sidewalk First the menu. Pasta with the sauce of your choice, lasagna, pizzas, sides of garlic toast etc, desserts including brownie and carrot cake and healthy juices. I was sorely tempted to try the pasta but the pizza beckoned because it was not just whole wheat but also thin crust. So my pizza arrived and I dived in. Truly thin crust with just the right amount of cheese and veggies ( there is a non vegetarian menu too). As I happily chomped away and sipped my ABC (apple beetroot carrot), the food of the couple I was sharing the table with arrived. Mamarose pasta with garlic cheese bread. I was so tempted to ask for s bite but better manners prevailed. The skies rumbled and I asked the very friendly owner (who also served the good) for the rest of my pizza to be packed. Happy. Will I visit again. Most definitely and try each item of the delicious...
