Ottimo Cucina Italiana

Excellent Italian cuisine restaurant. We tried their five course set-menu and it was extremely well crafted. I must say that the taste of the food was amazing. The service was quick and the quality of dishes was top-notch. I would recommend everyone to try their set-menu as that gives you varied options compared to ordering individual dishes. The quantity is more than enough for one person in a five course set menu. Must visit place if you want to try modern Italian cuisines. Do not forget to try their cauliflower dark chocolate soup. It a must try soup in the option. Also the pumpkin Ravioli.

Ottimo still remains the go to restaurant for fine dine Italian. Went to celebrate my birthday and the entire team did a fabulous job. Right from being seated, to suggestions made by the chef, and course wise immersion into flavours, tastes, and textures. Each dish was a sight to behold. There was a truffle festival in progress and I took the time to partake in this delicacy.

Only Italian food style . Good ambience, you can take a course meal to explore main dishes . Great wine collection, recommended for Italian or non spicy food lovers . Not recommended for the spicy and masala food lovers.

Very good food, excellent service, very cordial and professional staff. All the customisations were taken very seriously. The starters, soups, main course and desserts- everything was fresh and delicious. A superb choice for meals with friends and family. Overall the experience was great!

Ottimo, the Italian specialty restaurant at ITC Gardenia, is definitely a class apart. Renowned for its wonderful Italian fare, the restaurant has recently launched a new menu. I visited Ottimo with a few foodie friends to check out this new menu, which turned out to be an absolutely brilliant meal. We started with Burrata With Sour Cherries & Toasted Almonds, an innovative entree that was a right medley of sweet and salty and sour. The soft, salty burrata cheese and the sour berries were a match made in heaven! Alongside this, we sipped on a beautiful Guava, Orange & Black Pepper Mocktail specially designed by the bartender. Next up was Cauliflower & Chocolate Soup - an unusual combination of ingredients, but an extremely well executed dish for sure. The soup was creamy and smooth, redolent with herbs and absolutely delicious. The drizzle of chocolate shavings on the soup bowl was just the perfect 'dressing' for it. A must-try at Ottimo, I would say! We then proceeded to cleanse our palates with a very fresh and flavourful Watermelon & Basil Sorbet. It was time for the main course to be brought in! The first dish presented to us as main course was Pumpkin Ravioli With Sage & Butter Sauce, a thing of supreme beauty and joy. The little pasta squares were filled with the most delicate, delicious pumpkin stuffing ever, presented in a mildly fragrant sauce. You must definitely try this out - it was the star of the meal for me. We were presented with a decadent Marsala-Scented Risotto With Black Pepper Bread next, another beautifully executed dish. Everything about this dish oozed class and elegance, and the flavours matched right up. Our meal ended with Tiramisu 2.0, a deconstructed version of the classic Italian dessert. As is the custom at Ottimo, the staff fed each of us the first bite of this dessert, which was an explosion of flavours in the mouth! Sheer bliss, this one was. A meal at Ottimo is something I'd hugely recommend. It's pricey, yes, but the quality and taste of the food, the wonderful service and ambience more than make up for it.
