Italian restaurants in India

  1. A

    Basilico

    A très sleek, Euro-style bistro, Basilico whips up creative fresh pastas, salads and couscous that will make you melt. Vegies will flat out die – from either the wholesome green salad (mixed lettuce, corn, asparagus and sprouts with feta, lime and olive-oil dressing; Rs225) or the homemade mushroom and goat-cheese canelloni (Rs340). The coup de grâce? It’s also a bakery. The Bandra branch ([tel] 67039999, open noon to midnight) is on St John Rd, next to HDFC, Pali Naka.

  2. Diva

    Chef Ritu Dalmia’s molto chic Italian restaurant is an intimate space on two levels, with white tablecloths, plateglass windows, and a wood-fired oven behind glass. Cooking is superlative, imaginative and delicious. Avanti!

    Bella Italia

    A cheaper version of Mediterraneo, this rooftop restaurant overlooks Gole Market and sits beside a couple of huge trees which every day from around 6pm stage remarkable parrot-squawking contests.

    Baci

    Reasonable Italian cuisine and good coffee is served up here in grown-up surroundings, either at the informal cafe or in the sleek upstairs restaurant. On Thursday and Saturday evenings, there’s a DJ and even dancing.

    Olive Beach

    Uber-chic, this is decorated in rustic beach-house style, and is one of Delhi’s dining hotspots. The Italian chef cooks handmade pasta and pizzas – as tasty as the clientele.
