Everyone who has visited or wishes to visit Auroville, knows of this place. Its on the way to Auroville. We had to go there too.
Here’s what we had-
Amod – had a grilled fish. The portion was humungous ! served in a tray ! This was served with a fresh citrus, basil salad and some house fries.
We shared a Romana Pizza.
We ordered for French Onion Soup and a Minestrone Soup and a Focaccia bread ( Typically European style, which we rarely get to eat here )
We had a Raspberry Pannacotta which according to me was flawless!
Food was outstanding! Flavours, portions, service everything was outstanding.
Its completely operated by women employees.
We paid approx. 2000 Rs. for the above.
Pros –Food, Portion Size, Service, Variety.
Cons – None.
TTB rating – 5*
An excellent Pizzeria. The vibe to the place is so soothing, with an outdoor seating amidst the nature. No wonder it's packed all time. We visited Tanto Pizza on our way to Auroville and had the tastiest wood fire, thin crust pizza. You can customize your toppings and we chose a rather offbeat combination : Bacon, with green apples. We were sceptical about our choice, but went with it, given the popularity of the place in terms of taste. Ofcourse, it turned out to be good. The service was also quite prompt.
Best pizza we've had in a real long time! The calamari with lemon sauce was GORGEOUS! The ice teas are a must have! Can't wait to come back one day :))
Food was good, service was really really slow. At night, there were places where no light was really dim.
Food felt more healthy than delicious. Prices, a lil on the higher side.
Delicious Italian food
Service: was really quick even though the place was fully packed.
Chicken soup for the soul: clear chicken soup with Italian herbs and pulled chicken. Delicious.
Calamari in lemon sauce: MUST TRY for all squid lovers. This is basically squid in a tomato based sauce that comes with salad and fries on the side
Regina non veg pizza: cheese ham and mushroom topping. Simple and delicious. Pizza is brick oven thin crust one.
Pizzas are MUST TRY here.
One of the most popular places in Auroville, Tanto has to be on your list of restaurants to visit. The informal outdoor seating gives a very relaxed and chilled vibes. During my visit I tried their Fantasy Pizza, Fish Salad and Strawberry Sorbet. The pizza and the sorbet were mouth watering and absolutely delicious. The fish salad was a little bit of a let down. The bones were still present so it was a little unexpected. But overall had a great time here.

Tanto has been my favorite place to eat in Pondicherry for the past 7-8 years.... The wood fired pizza with fresh and authentic ingredients native to Italy are what makes us go back again and again...
After a rather long quest for antique furniture in Pondicherry, we decided to fill ourselves before we proceeded any further....
The place was packed with tourists when we arrived, but we luckily got seated in the only table available....
We decided to order directly from the main course....
We ordered a Ravioli sautéed in Butter and Sage sauce...
We were confused as to what filling we’d want in our ravioli and so the lady that took our order gave us the option of going half and half... Basically we ordered a ravioli dish with 4 filled with spinach and feta cheese and the remaining 4 filled with ricotta cheese....
We also ordered a large pizza which we also asked to make it in half and half, so that we wouldn’t restrict our taste buds....So half the pizza we ordered was Mediterranean and the other half was Italian....
The Ravioli came first.... The dish was huge in terms of portion size... The Raviolis just melted in our mouth... Personally I loved the Ricotta cheese filled ravioli... But then with so much cheese, the spinach cheese filled ones helped balance the others out...
An amazing dish and one I would love to order again when I visit there...
We usually order the Mediterranean pizza and it’s one of our favorite variety as it comes topped with Fresh basil, olives and other fresh Mediterranean ingredients...
My husband opted for the Italian because he loves Rocket leaves...
We hardly find places that serve pizza, salads and pasta with fresh Rocket or Arugula leaves....
Our only cause of disappointment was with regard to the feta cheese on top the Mediterranean pizza, which could have been spread more evenly instead of being clumped on one end....
We also ordered Carrot and Orange juice to go with our meal... It was freshly pressed and tasted amazing....
Amazing meal as always... Fresh pasta, pasta and juices...
A must visit place for those who love Italian food...
Simple, basic pizza, with just cheese. Toppings would have added flavours but I wanted to taste the cheese and the base. It was amazing and fresh.
Tanto pizza is one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Nice seating area with the perfect location and on the main road of auroville. Margarita is the best choice ever with the best chillers they have.
