Classico Kitchen and Bar — Restaurant in Pune

Mocktails & Cocktails Smoked Whiskey Sour – Superb Mumbai mafia & Watermelon Punch Both mild refreshing mocktails Fuzzy all over ( Rasberry vodka) – refreshing over loaded with ice White Sangria – Nice

#Starters Mathania Mirch Murgh Tikka – a spicy rub of mathania chilli with regular Tandoori spices. Outcome succulent and delicious good.

Butter Garlic Prawns – Tasty. Their version is prawns tossed in a buttery white sauce with Italian seasoning. Presentation was super, came individually in a soup spoon so one can bite and slurp the sauce likewise.

Crab Croquette – The Best ever I tasted- crispy, crabby and tastefully done. It was served with basil aioli & tomato chilli jam. Must have

Stuffed Baked Mushrooms – Baked with cheese & herbs. So tender …. well mushrooms vanished off the plate in no time while … Charred Broccoli florets were a bit of a let down.

Surmai Rava Fry served with Thecha. Innovative. Mild, flavourful and crispy fried.

Tortellini Formaggio Fungi – love at first sight! A home production with stuffed tortellini ( has mushroom and cheese) tossed in a thick creamy mushroom white sauce with parmesan cheese. Garlic bread. Well done Chef! Highly recommended

Jamaican Jerk Chicken Pizza with harissa sauce and mozzarella cheese. Crispy, thin crusted perfect ..just Loved it.

Mutton Kheema with pav – Super. Mutton lovers going to love it. Its spicy Kheema masala, a tempting sunny side resting over it and butter pav.

Masaladar Chicken Lollipop – One more innovative dish. Tandoori lollipops served in a rustic spicy tomato onion gravy. Taste was very North Indian Punjabi style gravy. We ate with plain roti.

#Desserts Lotus Biscoff cheesecake – A hearty dessert 😍. Creamy with sweetness and a raspberry compute on the side for a sour/tangy taste in between sweet bites.

Baked Soufflé was served hot with chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. A lemon soufflé. Pour over the thick chocolate sauce (perfect consistency) and dig in. Ice cream enhanced the taste. Amazing continental dessert.

To sum it up..

About Classico’s management - they have a vast experience in the hospitality industry. Rest assured you can sit, order and experience relaxation at every...

Overall experience was good and the food too was good. Some might find the quantity of continental dishes slightly less but it's actually right and filling. We went on a Sunday night so there was a bit of waiting and I would suggest you book a table beforehand if you're going on a weekend.

We had the following dishes: Pollo de Falco Stroganoff chicken Saffron butter garlic prawns Jamaican jerk chicken pizza Lotus biscoff cheesecake The dishes were all 4-5 stars depending on your taste.

All the staff was really polite, helpful and courteous. We had also asked for a birthday cake as we were celebrating a birthday which they were happy to help with. They charged us ₹600 for a half kg cake and we expected a proper cake but it's actually two slices of cake placed besides one another and the happy birthday greeting written on the plate.

The service would be rated 5 stars except 2 incidents right in the end. One being that the staff asked us to place our birthday gift with them as it was a large box and there wasn't adequate space to keep on the table. It was an imported helmet (box wasn't gift wrapped but was unopened) and so I was assured that it was placed safely on a chair besides the bar. Later when I went to collect it, it was on the floor in an opened state. Someone had taken the liberty to unbox the birthday present before the person celebrating their birthday. Second incident was a nice scratch on my bike when I went to collect it from their parking. The culprit seems to be the person parked next to me removed their bike in a haphazard manner and the watchman not present.

If it weren't for these then the overall experience is actually 5 stars. These incidents, specially the birthday gift opening one has left a bad taste and I wanted to give less than 3 stars but it would be unfair towards the business as we had a good time and...

Classico Kitchen & Bar!

Classico Kitchen and Bar is a newly opened Multicuisine restaurant on Karve Road, the décor of this place is elegant, the restaurant has a nice view of Pune Metro from the seating area.

We tried;

Stuffed Baked Mushrooms - Baked mushrooms stuffed with savoury mixture of cheese herbs and flavourful sauce were outstanding, it was served along with a garlic based spicy dip which was also nicely done. #Musthave

Achari Soya Chaap: We don’t often see chaap in restaurants menu, so as soon as we saw this, we requested chef for it; Soya chaap done in a curd-pickled spice based marination was brilliant, it was flavourful and optimally charred. #TooGood

Thai Crispy Lotus Stems – Cripsy till the last bite, the sauce had the perfect balance of sweet-spicy flavour, it was finished in no time! A great option to pair along with your drinks. Just go for it!

Corn Cheddar Cheese Rolls – Mini rolls stuffed with spicy corn and cheddar cheese was served along with sweet chilli dip. The coating was slightly soft and could have been a bit crispier, nothing to complain about the taste, it was nice.

Bhuna Subz Makhani- Vegetable dumplings done in rich and creamy makhni gravy, superb in taste. It went well along with assorted breads (Ulta Tawa Paratha, Garlic Naan and Sheermal).

Baklava and Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake – Both desserts were brilliant but the lotus biscoff stole the show, excellent in texture. Baklava was served along with pista ice cream and fresh gulkand, the sheets were slightly soggy, apart from that it was worthy and indeed a must have dessert.

Overall - All the veg dishes were loved and appreciated by the people who were eating non veg at the table. They have valet parking. Wishing team Classico all the best and success.

Location - Plot No. 62, Manisha Capital, 1st Floor, Opp Chinese Room,...
