After having missed dining here on a couple of occasions, we figured out that they are open only for dinner.
So we dropped in on a sunday night for dinner at one of the top Italian restaurants in town.
Located within the wonderful Marriott, Whitefield the ambiance is so peaceful, away from all the hustle and bustle of the city.
The look and feel of the restaurant is rather plain, no decoration done as such, nothing extravagant. Just simple and elegant.
The part open kitchen has an inviting feel to it, and the chefs were working away creating masterpieces for the diners.
Their head chef is from Italy, so you can't doubt the authenticity of the food.
The server came up to our table soon enough seeking the order, and we started with a glass of baileys and the most wonderful mocktail - berry berry caiprioska. And i must tell you more about this fabulous drink. It was a mix of blackberry, blueberry and cranberry juice with cinammon syrup.
The drink was not overly sweet firstly, and the taste was so refreshing.
Poured over crushed ice, the drink got over rather quickly i felt and the taste lingered on in my mind well after.
To begin our meal we tried a vegetarian salad which comprised of tomatoes, cheese, onions, cucumbers, olives, capers and a wonderfully tasty light dressing sauce. Sounds simple but it was a delicious coming together of flavours.
I feasted on the batter fried seafood with a spicy tomato sauce, it comprised of shrimps, squid rings and zucchini.
The batter was wonderfully coated, and in particular the shrimps were light and crispy. The pieces at the bottom of the dish were a bit too oily and i couldn't finish it alone too, quantity was quite large.
Our mains comprised of the linguini aglio olio, which was lightly drizzled with olive oil and had a nice taste. This kind of pasta never has a sauce, so it has to be flavoured to perfection to keep it from being bland, and no doubt about the composition.
We also had a vegetarian gnochhi, where the quantity was not large, but the dish was very good. Light and soft covering on the outside and light cheesy stuffing. Some perfect shavings of cheese to top it off. My wife felt it had an eggy taste, though i doubt it, since it said pure veg.
Portions were not too large, a single dish will not suffice for a good eater.
Pricing is high and a meal for 2 can easily go above 3000, so it can be kept on hold for those special occasions.
Will want to come back and try some more of their offering sometime.
P.S - They don't serve Pizza..
