Ambience was very nice and calm. The signature pizza was very yummy.
The dish of the day was the home made cheesecake.
The piccante signature pizza was filled with flavorful meat ane Veggies. The sausages were excellent
Great pizza's and amazing ambience!
One of the best places in town for an authentic brick oven pizza. Very friendly yet professional staff. I highly recommend their salami pizza and fried calamari. Delicious yet affordable food.
Loved the pizzas and the pasta. The drink wasn’t too expensive. Their Mojito was very tasty. I’m happy thy they are open till 11 pm at night.
Hidden gem of Chennai ! The staff is courteous and sweet and were also good with their suggestions! The four cheese pizza was the best pizza I’ve ever had. The carbonara pasta was rich, creamy with delicious! These two dishes are highly recommended! Cheers ✌🏼
Perfect taste more than 5star hotel.
Please try once you can’t leave this taste
Fantastic Italian Food!!!
Favourite spaghetti and pizza place for us. Usually not too noisy, adjacent to Kuuraku which is a Japanese restaurant so you can enjoy both cuisines too if you like. The pizza is delicious, fresh and just right. I love their Japanese aglio olio which has a buttery sauce and chicken in it. The chef was kind enough to add mushrooms to my spaghetti on request. They have a nice bar menu too so there’s something for everyone. Keep up the good job guys!

As you enter the gates of the Green Park Hotel it feels that you have left the noise associated with the hustle and bustle of the ever busy Vadapalani far behind. As you alight at the portico of the Hotel you don't need to pass the metal detector but take a hard left and go down a flight of stairs and you will reach the Piccante Restaurant.
As you enter the doorway you will be pleasantly startled to be greeted in Japanese and Italian. You need not be surprised because you have to pass the Kuuraku a Japanese restaurant to enter the portals of Piccante. You need to remind yourself that we are here to try the Italian food and refrain from going into the Kuuraku. ( we will try it on another occasion).
You have to pass between a long counter and a wall filled with graffiti and you cannot but notice the Red gas fired Pizza Oven and even catch the chef twirling the dough in the air. Again you are greeted in Italian and you can choose to sit at the main dining area in whose centre is located a TV screen. So IPL fans need not be far from the action while dining on their favourite pastas. There is also a semi private enclosure where you can sit on soft sofas. We chose the latter.
We were presented a vast drinks menu and the food menu and my hand reached out instinctively to the drinks menu. I was quite astounded by the vast selection ranging from Champagne, wine, Imported and Indian liquor, Cocktails, Mock tails, Beer and surprise the Beer cocktail. I settled for the Tequila Sunrise which is cocktail made of Tequila, orange Juice and Grenadine. It was quite potent which shows that they don't skimp on the alcohol.
We started with Antipasto - Smoked Salmon Salad. which was thinly cut slices of smoked salmon on a bed of lettuce with sliced olives and cherry tomatoes. The salmon was quite buttery in the mouth, a bit salty and the crunch was provided by the iceberg lettuce and the fishy smell was absent. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite.
Followed by Broccoli and Prawn Ajillo, which was prawns and brocolli cooked in olive oil with chilly flakes, sliced mushroom and garlic. When eaten with garlic bread it tasted extremely good and I even dunked the bread in the flavoured oil. and savoured every last bite.
The next on the list was the Fried Prawn with Mayo- this was 4 huge Tiger prawns, batter fried and drizzled with Japanese mayo and served on a bed of lettuce. The prawns were juicy and cooked to perfection and every bite was heavenly.
For the main course we had Piccante Signature Pizza which had Prawn, Squid,Caponata, Jalepeno, Tomato Sauce and Mozzarella Cheese. We tried their signature pasta Piccante Crab Arrabiata and Fettuccine with Prawn Basil Cream. All the main course items were on point, attractively plated and tasted better. We thoroughly enjoyed every bite and the portion sizes were pretty huge.
We finished off with the Vanilla Pannacotta which had a berry syrup on top. The pannacotta was smooth and silky but I personally felt the syrup was a bit too sweet and detracted from the taste of the dessert.
As you exit you are warmly sent off by the waiters in their chorus of Japanese and Italian goodbyes.I thoroughly recommend a visit to Piccante fir a taste of authentic Italian food with a Japanese touch.

This place has replaced one of my favorite pubs in chennai - escape in green park hotel. The pizzeria is sharing the same dining area with the adjacent japenese restaurant - kurraku.
Location
Located inside the green park hotel in Vadapalani, very near to forum mall. Once u reach the hotel, Don't go directly for security checkup. The restaurant is located in the basement and doesn't need security checkup.
Parking - ample car parking space is available. Also restaurant is very near to Vadapalani metro station and Vadapalani bus stand.
Service - we were greeted right from the entrance by the waiters and they accompanied us to the seat. Service was prompt and quick as the waiters were always available nearby.
Food - we started with cheese balls.. So cheesy inside. and crunchy outside.
Chicken bbq- just salted and barbecued chicken. Not suited for people who love spicy food. Served with French fries.
We had cranberry mocktail and lime mojito as our drinks. Both tasted good.
Then we moved to the main dish - their signature Piccante non veg pizza - made in Italian brick Oven. It was a pleasure to watch our pizza being made from dough.
Also in pasta menu, we tried the seafood and tomato pasta (penne pasta). Tasted very yummy.
Then comes the next best part here - desserts.
Their cheesecake is one to crave for.
Their tiramisu and pannacota were presented beautifully and tasty.
Pricing - it's a bit upscale here. But they have lots of offers going on. Do check with them to get corporate offers.
Rating them 4/5 for their excellent and yummy food.

A great place for good quality authentic thin crust pizza. Laid back ambience. Courteous staff. Had good vegetarian options. Ordered the four cheese balls, brinjal caponata cheese, bruschetta platter and picante signature pizza. Cheese balls and brinjal caponata were awesome. Bruschetta platter was okay in comparison with other dishes. The pizza was excellent, thin crust with just the right amount of crispiness, wonderful cheese and delicious topping. The lime mint coolers was refreshing. A must visit place for all Chennai Italian cuisine lovers.
It was a memorable visit. The place so cosy and the brick oven pizza is so good. Dominos , Pizza hut is no match. I am just sharing my experience and feelings. Try then trust me. The crab arabiata, Buffalo wings..Mmmm. tiramisu omg....I am going again shortly as there are so many dishes to try... I don't about anyone else but I am definitely going there very soon. Thank you, Piccante!!!
Absolutely killer pizzas. Such a quaint setting + imported ingredients and a chef that accommodates your requests! Damn I can’t believe this place isn’t as popular as it should be! Such a gem.
Good food. My general modus is have food and watch a movie... Right next door to Vijaya Mall.

It was an impromptu visit after checking the place on trip advisor that this is one of the best Pizza places in Chennai.. I wasn't disappointed. There were limited veg options though. 2800 for 3; for two starters, a pizza and a pasta along two pints of beer.
