Italia - The Park - Italian restaurant in Bengaluru - Bengaluru Urban, India

itALia - One of the oldest Italian restaurants of Bangalore housed in "The Park" had come up with new menu. I was privileged to be at Italia for lunch, hosted exclusively. Ms. Sayoni Pal and Chef. Basheer are great hosts! The concept is like farm to fork, which is common practice in Italy. The new menu offers dishes from different regions of Italy i.e. Cicily, Sardinia, Rome to name few. The 5 course vegetarian set menu priced at 2400 INR is pretty decent and trust me, experience will be memorable. I have opted for Classic Minestrone Soup, Fungii Arrosttiti Confromagi E Pesto (Mushroom stuffed with pesto and garlic cheese), Classic Arancini. In mains, it was Parmigiana Di Melanzana - True showstopper. Fried Aubergine in Tomato Sauce, Parmesan and Mozzarella Cheese. It's quite filling though. In desserts, the Classic Tiramisu infused with Orange - One shouldn't miss. Overall it's a great experience!

I'm giving 5 stars purely based on the service we had - with the romantic candle light dinner! They had provided mocktails and Italian bread as complimentary starters which was amazing. Though italian bread is something many authentic restaurant provide complementary. The mushroom pizza ordered was really good though the nocchi could have definitely been better. Moreover, Zomato gold surely helped in reducing the bill drastically ;) Service: 10/10 Food: 8/10 Ambience: 9/10 Value: 7/10

Food quality is amazing, very good service, taste is fine and place is clean

The Park is very beautiful,One of the oldest Italian restaurants of Bangalore, Everytime I come for fresh food

Good place, just make sure u leave early bcoz its in an area where traffic starts building up around 6

Average Italian, can have better in standalone cafes

Good food one should try.

It was a wonderful dine-in experience with soul pleasing ambiance, some lip-smacking Italian food and delicate Red Wine at The Park Hotel , thanks to #GourmetPassPortExperiences event. The Master Class with Chef Basheer of Italia restaurant of The Park hotel had every must-know details regarding preparation of Pasta, Risotto and Tortellini, though i have very bad relationship with cooking but loved the quickly done cooking, especially of the Risotto :) After the master class It was time for 4-Course Italian meal with some Red wine. Having The creamy Mushroom soup and the the involtini de melanzane was perfect way to start the feast. Really liked the involtini melanzane as it had a really unique taste in each bite. Tortellini Formaggio was ok in taste with proper use of sauces. In main course tried Cannazo which had healthy vegetables all over and was equally simple and yet delicious in taste. The perfect way to end this Italian feast was with some Affogato which is a coffee based dessert and flavor of coffee was perfectly balanced with ice-cream and chocolate. Kudos to Gourmet Passport , This was one unique first time experience for me where it was not just about food but also behind the food information along with some amazing foodies of Bangalore on the table.
