Piatto Cafe — Restaurant in Pune

In the by-lanes of Kalyani Nagar – there is a Dessert Studio named Piatto, which is a hidden gem. Piatto in Italian means plates and plates is what makes up the interiors of this simple yet elegantly done place.

Every table has its own space and privacy maintained. It is actually a studio, a visual delight both in terms of interiors and food.

When you enter you are greeted with smile from Chef Smaran (the man behind this place is humble and knows the art of making amazing desserts) and colorfully glazed desserts and different variants of macroons.

Desserts are their speciality but some savoury delights are available too and we started with Pickled Beetroot and cottage cheese salad. Fresh beetroot given a pickley taste using vinegar, lots of fresh cottage cheese, assorted greens, a bit of finely diced apples and roasted nuts in balsamic dressing. We loved it and wiped off the bowl in minutes.

Cheesy Mushroom Sandwich was devoured next. Mushroom was of very good quality – rarely get this when we go out and loved the white sauce. I highly recommend this!!

We also tried Vietnamese Cold Coffee and Salted Caramel Shake. Salted Caramel shake was a delight, subtle salty flavor in caramel was something different and did appeal to my tastebuds. Vietnamese coffee was also good, try it if you like strong coffee.

Coming to desserts – they are a delight to your eyes. And when you start eating them – they revive all your senses!! Amazing taste. All their chocolate desserts are made with couverture chocolate. Coverture chocolate is a high-quality chocolate that contains a high percentage of cocoa butter (32-40%) than baking or compound chocolates. This additional cocoa butter gives the chocolate more sheen, firm snap when broken and a creamy flavor. Cocoa fats are good for health. It is this chocolate that doctors refer to when they say "chocolates are good for heart".

Opera is a French cake which the chef had given his own touch and is their signature dish. In originality it is a 7 layered cake but this one has a twist. It is made up of chocolate almond sponge, coffee mousse and 70% crema at the centre.

Smaran – The Chef and owner is very passionate about his desserts and is of the opinion that high quality ingredients are a must to come up with great desserts. He proudly boasts that every ingredients that goes in the making of desserts are of high quality and they never use a cheap substitute.

Sorbets and Gelatos are a must must try. I loved Jamun and chocolate sorbet. There are other fresh fruit flavors too. Very colorful, without preservatives, no/low fats – amazing qualities for desserts -RELISH without any guilt!

Gelatos are available in multiple flavors and they generously offer different flavors to taste and then choose from. After trying all amazing flavors I combined honey & almond gelato with chocolate sorbet and loved it.

Macroons are eye-candies, I was quite full but still tried their Paan and Blueberry flavors and both were very good. They have a lot of options to choose from.

Great place for people who have sweet tooth. The place uses high quality ingredients and thus the desserts are priced a bit high, but then, good things usually don't come...

I tried the cheesy mushroom sandwich, hot chocolate, sea salt caramel macaron and Tropical Verriene, which is a signature dessert of a Master Chef Australia Chef with whom Piatto's Chef has worked with in Australia.
