The pizza has been one of the best I've tried in Chennai so far, but it's still not close to a true Italian pizza. It lacks some moisture and hence a bit too dry in my opinion. The service was very good except that they did not have a working debit/credit swipe machine at the time. Had to go to a nearby ATM to withdraw money and pay.
It's a nice quiet place, ideal I would say for a weekday lunch when you're free. Being a vegetarian, my choices weren't limited. The pizzas were amazing and for desert, Panna cotta was just perfect. I'm looking forward to coming back again just for the ambience.
Being Italian I’m always looking for the perfect pizza abroad and most of the times the quest is a failure. I’ve tried etnea pizza with ricotta and jalapeño, was not bad but really far from a decent Italian pizza. Environment is quite anonymous, you can not see the kitchen from the room and you don’t know where food is coming from. International credit cards not accepted
The location of the restaurant is really nice. Lying amidst the green trees, it is quite plush and spacious. Excellent choice of italian dishes. The service was a little bad though, the staff were not welcoming and were not helping out with stuff.
