Review Dario's - Pune

Simply because I can't think on what grounds I could withhold a star. Yes, Veg only, no meat !!... but with such tasty food, you don't miss it. Excellent quality of food, lovely laid back ambience, unobtrusive and very efficient Staff. If you find the pastas, crepes and pizzas all delectable, then wait till you hit the desserts.... from the baked yogurt tart (don't miss it) to the more elaborate chocolate crepes, we never have a meal here sans desserts. 5 stars simply because they leave you wanting more....

Authentic Italian Veg restaurant! If you love Italian then this is the place to go. Cool family ambience, quick service, friendly staff and of course delicious food! They serve wide variety of pastas, pizzas, risotto n starters along with limited Mexican fare. Full bar is available. The wide space outdoors n tastefully crafted indoor ambience adds to an unforgettable experience.

I would definitely describe this place as cozy one. It's generally quiet here considering this place is quite large. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. I would personally prefer outdoor seating for the amazing ambiance. We only ordered desserts here and they were okay. Not so good not so bad. But I really like the innovative concept they brought in the dessert.

The service was super slow on the day we went and we had to remind them multiple times to get our food. On the upside, the food was very tasty and has always been. It's an all veg restaurant and you have the options of gluten free and vegan items on the menu. Do try their pizzas.

Well, I finally got to visit this place. And I am glad for it. Beautifully crafted food. Really delicious in taste. Interior is thoughtfully done and so it the outdoor sitting. Surroundings is calm and quiet. A little bit off the road. Valet parking is available. Staff is polite and helpful. Pure vegetarian is a plus. We ordered burritos, polpette di broccoli, Virgin Mojito, Spicy guava and got complimentary desert - Tiramisu (coffee flavoured). Tip: Do some research on table reservation apps, you might get lucky.

I knew from previous reviews I'd read that this is a highly rated and popular place. Now I see why. I dropped in at what is probably an unsual time for this place -- mid-morning -- just for coffee because I had several hours to spend somehow and I was nearby. My attention could't help being drawn to bold, colorful art on every wall, but it was the scene through the large glass doors and windows at the back that I couldn't take my eyes off. It was a thick stand of tall trees around a spacious outdoor patio with protected seating. I chose a table where I could keep looking out at the lovely scene as I sipped my cappuccino, even though the sparkling, sunny interior of the restaurant was beautiful too. The theme of this restaurant -- "Cooked With Love" -- appears ubiquitously, even on the sugar packets! I felt it was actually true, though I had no food, only coffee. But there is a certain feel to the place. My only disappointment was that the tempting loaves of artisan breads at the front counter were not for immediate sale. You have to order 3 hours in advance. Well, that's just one more good reason to come back another time!

The place has nice ambience, situated in a great locale. Nice indoor and outdoor seating. Great options in menu: pasta, pizza, burger, sandwich, mexican, rossitto, starter, salad, main course, desserts, cocktails, imported wines, beer everything.

Cool place for continental cuisine. Good vegan and gluten free choices. Outdoor seating is also available which must be lit in night time.

Beautiful place to visit on a Sunday afternoon ! Lush green surroundings did catch my eye. There are several outlets/shops when you enter the main gate, however, this one with a prominent purple ambience will definitely get your attention. We started with Grover Art Collection Blanc White Wine and JD Whisky. The wine names were pretty new to me so just try whichever sounds good to you 😉 In starters, do try DARIO'S NACHOS. They say it is their speciality. These corn chips are topped with melted cheese, sour cream, mexican beans, chopped coriander & onions along with jalapenos and tomato salsa. It is sufficient to share between two. They also served 4 pieces of soft bread with butter as a complimentary dish. If you like sandwiches and do not wish to experiment, try CAPRESE SANDWICH. These are just 2 pieces with tomato, mozzarella, basil and virgin olive oil. It is served with tomato sauce, green veggie salad and french fries. Staff was courteous and offered a taste of the wine before I ordered. That's sweet ! Thanks to SK Barkat for the good service. Overall, a cool place to hang out and enjoy... If you just don't look at the prices. ☺️

Best Italian food I've ever tasted. Ambience is also really nice. Service was prompt. Servers were friendly.

We loved our breakfast at Dario's! We ordered the mushroom and garlic crepes and the spinach and cream cheese crepes, and both were delicious! The spinach ones were yummier, and came with a yummy white sauce. For drinks we ordered a chocolate mocha and a strawberry milkshake, and both were fabulous! Definitely visiting again for breakfast, would love to try the croissants next time!💕

Visited this place on the Christmas eve, the place is well hidden in the boisterous place like koregaon. As we entered they had a simple indoor sitting, but we chose the outdoor which seemed way more elegant and beautiful. The ambience was great. We ordered a lasagne and a martini (dirty ;) ). The martini had a strong punch due to the dried olives, its was good. The lasagne had very less layering to it but the taste was simply amazing. It's a perfect dinner date option and a quite place for small conversations. Must try.

The brilliant atmosphere that it offers can only be matched by the exceptional Italian cuisine. Their execution of traditional Italian dishes is par excellence and it's a treat to sit in their and enjoy.

So, let me start with the place and there ambiance.... It is really beautiful it was our freind’s bday and it so such a peaceful place.... In terms of food they are serving really authentic italian food... As my personal perfection was pasta from this place... yes in the beginning they give some good fresh baked breads nice buns type...

Had a wonderful experience here, the service is really good, the quality is great, the taste is amazing with a beautiful ambiance. It is a place I would recommend. Also has zomato gold benefits..!!

It's decent Italian restaurant for vegetarians also they serve liquor. One of best places to take your GF for wine and Dine. Prices are bit on higher side, but money is worth spending

It was really a must visit restaurant... One of the best cafe in pune . The ambiance of the cafe was spectacular. The experience inside the cafe was amazing The food was delicious and nutritious and tasty Serving time was very fast Staff was cool and quick enough experienced for the suggestions of food Had a great weekend here ..

Amazing food quality and taste with great service time.. their cheese nachos and pastas are really awesome! Also have their brownies for dessert. Very courteous staff. The ambience was also really nice, especially the open area seating. Great experience overall! However, please note that the place only serves vegetarian food.. so not a great place for non veg lovers. But great vegetarian food for food lovers

Me, being a big time non-veg lover, never thought I would enjoy veg menu this much! Amazing ambience, great service, great food... And to top it all, some amazing jazz music that adds up to all of it... Great place guys... I recommend it to everyone... ��

Very nice and peaceful place I ever visited ..Food quality is very good ..I like real taste of pizza and cocktail.best romantic place for couples for candle light dinner .�

Nice ambiance, trees around, enjoyed food with candlelight and beautiful music. Located very close to Osho Ashram in Koregaon Park. This area has lot of trees so you feel fresh air around. Must visit place for vegetarians who love Italian food pasta, pizza with drinks.

Place is serving amazing Italian and nice Mexican. The best part is it's pure vegetarian place right in heart of KP. Loved the ambience and warm people to serve food.

Perfect place for Italian and Mexican food lovers. Nice ambience and location. Good service. Loved the food!

Nice place, nice food but little bit it requires to add indian masala taste.. :)

I would definitely describe this place as cozy one. It's generally quiet here considering this place is quite large. It has both indoor and outdoor seating. I would personally prefer outdoor seating for the amazing ambiance. We only ordered desserts here and they were okay. Not so good not so bad. But I really like the innovative concept they brought in the dessert.

Asked for the Roman Monk which clearly indicates in the menu that it is an Old Monk based cocktail and the bartender comes to our table and says can't serve it to you because we do not have brandy...???service was sad...overall ambience good...tiramisu excellent...

Awesome food. Excellent well mannered staff. Ambience that will pull you back there again and again. Overall full marks to the concept.

Great ambience great food even Jain food is very nice the pizza is excellent

Dario at Pune is an excellent Italian restaurant which serves authentic Italian vegetarian dishes with plenty of choices . Dario has great ambience and the food is not very expensive . Great place to unwind and enjoy brunch on holidays

Good eating joint in Koregaon park area of Pune. As we are pure veg were very pleased to find only veg menu card. Food was quite good and also the ambience.Good place.

Though some repair work is on at the approach and entrance, setting inside is very comfortable and pleasant. If you are seriously looking for some authentic Italian, a must visit place while in Pune.

...Amazing food , amazing wine , amazing place for friends n family...

Awesome place with delicious food, can relax with couple of drinks, great ambience for Family.

Amazing food and great service!!!! Totally recommend.

Loved the food and ambiance 👍🏻What A soothing music...felt cozy and positive

Darios. The best and undoubtedly unbeatable. Been coming to this awesome place since almost 19 years now and it never disappoints you. Love for fine food is the basic tenet of a guy running a fine dine restaurant and darios is a live testimony. <br/>

The best place for dinning with friends .... They cooperate with the customer as well... The service is also nice ... Nice ambience

I had visited early last month along with my friend to try out the vegan menu. I was quite excited to see the elaborate vegan menu. We tried the vegano pizza, vegan nachos, gluten free vegan chocolate brownies and vegan chocolate ice cream. What we liked the most was the vegan chocolate ice cream. It had an uncanny similar taste to a dairy ice cream!! Mind blowing. The vegan nachos and gluten free vegan chocolate brownies were also yummy. We didn't like the vegano pizza that much as the cheese was not satisfactory. Overall, I would definitely recommend the vegan menu. The ambiance was great and the icing on the cake was the live music and singing by Austin Fernandes! He was superb :)

Dario's was my last dine out of my college life. It was indeed a great and beautiful night. Thanks to the ambience of Dario's. Courteous staff was like a cherry on the top. Mr Saurav treated us really well with some complementary breads and a desert also with his smooth service. Will surely visit again if i come to pune. Thankyou Dario's !

This place can never stop looking heart melting .... Lovely staff .. Special recommendations for Mr Saurav .. a very polite staff member ... must visit ... Must haves .... Pizza and Cold coffee

The taco shells arrived like this... Now it’s one thing if it reached us broken. But these are clearly not broken shells, but just pieces of what looks like their nacho chips...Taste wasn’t compromised but was more like deconstructed tacos.. Got 3 shells n rest of them chips.. . Not really Dario standard...

Nothing changes here! Will always be the best Italian food place that delivers content!

If you want to have a candlelight dinner with soothing music in the background & won't mind trying Italian & Mexican cuisines, this is the place for you. We had ordered Dario’s Nachos & Mexican rice. Both were delicious. Everything was excellent except for the service. You can sit there for hours & no server would bother to come & ask you. It's you who has to take the effort of calling them & mind it they won't show up on your first call. If you are fortunate enough to get a decent service, it would just make your experience for the evening more delightful.

Loved this place <br/>Best place for romantic date <br/>Loved each thing they serverd from pasta to reviolli to pizza to cocktails and mocktails... just wow...<br/>Brownie is again must have<br/>Tiramisu was good but not very very good...<br/><br/>Thanks guyz<br/>I m gonna visit very soon again with my lovely wife

Saurav was very helpful as the restaurant has a very large selection of dishes. He recommended the Carduni pizza and ravioli kamarina. Both were amazing. Service, ambience, food everything was 💯

Excellent service by Saurav, we even got complimentary drinks and dessert on account of women’s day!! Great Sunday afternoon

Darios's have Nice ambience and amazing food :)<br/>Sourabh was of great help in recommending great food , he is such an amazing guy :)

Courteous staff especially Saurabh..

Contact this guy #Saurav for all your needs. He will cater accordingly. The best place in this town for Vegan Food. Simply just scrumptious. A great range of variety too. The music here is just a perfect addition

It's always a good experience visiting Darios. I have been visiting Darios since many years with my office colleagues and the food , service which we get is always up to the mark. Best place to hangout with friends and family. Always ask for recommendations for best dishes and they will never let you down. Thanks to Amar who served us and taking utmost care. Keep up the good work.

Been visiting this place quiet often but of late, the service standard seems to have dropped drastically. Visited on a Sunday all set for some nice refreshing cocktails and lunch but was disappointed since had to wait so long to place the order. On top of that , they had limited options in beer and cocktails - asked for a fresh fruit cocktail and they had none :( left without ordering anything. To add to the agony, the women’s restroom was also quiet dirty and smelly. It used to be one of my favorite restaurants, hope they pay attention to feedback

Situated near Osho Garden and a completely veg menu. I tried ravioli pasta. Though it was good, it was not sufficient. Service and mocktails could have been better. I won't say it's the best, but a good place to try authentic Italian cuisine.

Always at it best with food and ambience ! Love to go here and get the same amazing treatment 😁

Dario's should work on flavours, price and portion. Starter and rissoto insufficient for two adults. Ambience is good. Should increase the number of staff so as to attend customers properly, we faced problem on Valentine's Day.

I booked a 8:30 table 3 days in advance, yet had to wait outside 40 mins, seeing people after me getting the table. Here management is from Indian government office. Got the table and waited for around 10mins to get the menu, then may be another 10-15 mins for someone to take the order. And once placed the order, we should forget it and sleep as it is going to take that time. Over 1 hour to get me a simple veg lasagna, and what I got to eat looked like something from a tin can. Nothing fancy! Overall I had a table booked at 8:30 and I got a chance to even get first morsel in by 10 pm. I mean that is some inefficiency. I would like to rate 0 but couldn't so rated 1, I would never ever step in there or would recommend anyone either. They need to learn that customer service is key.

Good service nandu

Saurav who attended us was genuine and helpful

Thanks to saurav we had a great time ....very nice peaceful place

Saurabh's service was really nice...👍

Ambience and food is really good. Nice place to visit and also the service is nice. Thanks to Saurab who was really kind for the service.

Located in koregaon park, its a quiet and classy place. I went with my toddler and it was not too loud. Good food and ambience. Lots of italian dishes to choose from. It was a good experience.

The place is just amazing. Right besides osho ashram, it has an amazing vibe to it. Full marks there. Also the food is great.<br/>I would not consider it to be easy on pocket but the food, ambience and service makes your penny worth.<br/>That said, an authentuc italian place with a CCD coffee killed the mood for me.

Pathetic food. Higly overrated restaurant.

Absolutely amazing service and ambiance.. Saurabh assisted us with the menu and he was polite and attentive very happy with the service .

Food and ambiance was very good.. Nandu

Their tagline is appropriate _ They truly cook with love. Nothing beats Tiramisu from Dario's

Visited to try their vegan menu. Wanted to try zucchini soup was not available. Ordered broccoli balls, enchiladas, nachos, gannochi, and brownie..everything from the vegan menu. Loved enchiladas and nachos. Brownie was good as well..but gannochi was really disappointing. Service can be better.. Wanted to give 4 stars but noticed every table was served complimentary bread and butter before meals but notnus..Maybe they should veganize that as well. But overall nice experience.

Overhyped place, paid way too much for average quality food

The place is cute and amazing food saurabh served us very well

The place is very pleasing with all purple hues and gives a nice touch of good architecture<br/>Then food is good with pasta being aldente and pizza being crusty and cheesy :)

Food, ambience and service was beyond expectations...Saurabh Ghosh suggested us cuisines and drinks which were just fantabulous and awesome...would recommend Saurabh and Darios for family and hang out with friends

Service not worth rating.<br/>Below average soups<br/>Horrible antipasti siciliano.<br/>1/5. Place cannot be recommended to visit anymore.

Pure veg resto! Beautiful ambience... Must try Mexican nacho

Dario's is one of the must visit place in Pune to have a romantic candle light dinner with your spouse.<br/><br/>Location is superb and so is the ambiance. They have both al fresco and indoor seating arrangement. They had live music too. Indoors have typical feel which comes in Europe and takes you down the memory lane of European visit.<br/><br/>Service is really good and our attendant Mr. S K Barkat recommended us some good options that we liked a lot.<br/><br/>We had Lasagne Buzzurri, Picante & Forestale Pizza and chocolate brownie with hot choco syrup and vanilla ice cream. We liked everything and was delicious.<br/><br/>Note: This is a veg only restaurant who source their ingredients straight from Europe.

Awesome place to enjoy some Italian food. Ambience is very nice. We have really loved the food that we had.<br/><br/>Saurab is an awesome guy helping here n suggested some awesome dishes..😊

Food was awesome

The ambience is vibrant, it's spreads natural positive vibes. Last time I had good food experience, but this time they changed the Ravioli pasta gravy, which included green peas and chana, also the sauce didn't taste good so didn't order anything else. Slow attendant service, I had loved the food last time I hope to get best taste next time.

Excellent service by sourab. Very quick and efficient. He is a one man army

We started with a stuffed "pancake", and a choco-chip banana smoothie. The pancake was the only disappointment of our overall experience. It was not much of a pancake as much as it was a crepe. The fruit filling did not add much to saving it's grace either. The choco-chip banana smoothie, though had the satisfying cruch of the choco-chips, was slightly on the extra-sweet side.<br/>⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀<br/>The main courses, however, tells a different story. The creamy risotto with sauteed asparagus was anything short of fantabulously delicious. The rice cooked in milk and cheese melted in your mouth, and the zucchini side dish provided the right respite in between bites. Our second main course - tortellini stuffed with mushroom and cheese - added to the blissful experience. Although, the filling was missing from a few of the pasta,the combination of sunflower seeds and parsley with the cheesy sauce was perfect. However, we did catch ourselves wishing that we had gone for a tomato-sauce based second dish instead.<br/>⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀<br/>In short, if you skip past the breakfast menu and maybe the drinks (can't validate that), Dario's is worth every penny. And you will end up spending quite a number of pennies here!

***Ambience*** 9/10<br/><br/>Seating was amazing. They have 2 types of seating areas indoor and nice outdoor. It feels you are in the backyard of your home.<br/><br/>***Food* 6/10<br/>We ordered pomodoro soup which came a but salty staff replaced and it was more diluted with water to reduce the saltyness.<br/><br/>After reading reviews and since its a Italian place thought to have a nice pizza. It turned out very average the amount of cheese was less. Too much of corn topping the base was not crisp. Sauce in the pizza was so less you can't taste the real pizza.

Excellent dining experience! Saurabh Ghosh took care of us so well that we got a personalized attention. Highly recommended for dining and for a rustic great ambiance!

Saurav's service was excellent, had a lovely time here. Definitely a place to visit.

The ambience and the location of the restaurant is really good. However, it is the food that falls short. Compared to the pricing, the quantity was low. Recommended for dinner dates, if both are vegetarian.<br/><br/>Probability of visiting again - Very low.

The moment you enter the place you get a good feel.<br/>The decor, the music, the vibe its all good.<br/>As for the food we ordered Ravioli and penne Arabitta. Ravioli was not the best that I have had, however I would go back for the pasta.<br/><br/>Penne Arabitta was just appropriately spiced. The choic3 of wines and the courteous staff made the evening even more pleasant.<br/><br/>Only if they decide to serve Non veg someday, I might visit weekly.

Too good place to have a peaceful talk.. soothing experience.. Tastewise best place.. unfortunately not more pics tkn.. ambiance 200/100.. Music 200/100.. we were there for 5 hours.. peacock glimpse in d evening.. peaceful flute sound in d evening and then soft English music and glimpse of moon late evening made that time so memorable.. If you are looking for place to have perfect peaceful conversation with some mind blowing soothing experience.. this is d place u must visit.. don't forget to look around for peacock.. have a lovely time.. 😊

Inside Sundarban Resort<br/>Complete Veg<br/>Nice Place with smoking zone outside.<br/>Gives a Goan shack vibes but very comforting<br/>Fully Italian Menu<br/>Go for Pasta and Desserts Pizza<br/>Avoid Risotto.<br/>Very nicely located peaceful place

Ambience was absolutely perfect. If you really like Italian or mexican, this is a place to go to. Food will be served hot and delicious. I recommend to ask for best sellers from the staff, they really mean it when they say it. Food quality is so good that you won’t feel stuffed even after eating too much. Much recommended place.

Very nice ambience and good service. Saurav Ghosh served very gently. It was a nice experience overall.

Sourab gosh was awesome person when it come to serving food and wine and I love the food and wine and the most important thing my fiancé got impressed by me a lot thanks Darios for the hospitality

Kudos to chef Santos Chekne for the food very week prepared

Amazing food and great ambience for day time.........……….................... Great staff.......................................................

A very good restaurants.well trained staff. food quality was excellent up to it mark. Neat and tidy place . Enjoyed a lot . Specially for family it a very good restaurant.

Have been coming to Dario’s for years. This last time I went food service was bad. The staff forgot our order. The food was bland. Mushy no flavour. For the tiramisu there was no sponge cake in middle only cream. Won’t be going back ever

Best Italian place in town. Enchiladas, Sicilana Pizza , Alfredo Pasta and Blue Berry Cheese cake topped the list. Shout out to SK Barkat for the warm hospitality.

We ordered one pizza and one pasta, Rohit, the manager suggested us the order and it was great! Amazing food!

Very good food , great ambiance with a lovely live band , served by S.K Barkat

They put plastic in their pizza but it tastes good

We hv had some gr8 times @ darios, but this time we went in large group and our exp was horrible, soup that was thinner than rassam that too served without spoon which took forever to arrive, nachos served without salsa, and salsa arrived after nachos were over, okayish pasta. Learnt a lesson, probably not the place for group parties, good only for dates

Food was not good. Service was pathetic. Place is good. Not a good experience. Will never visit again.

A positive review from me got automatically posted without my having done it. While the experience good, a post on my behalf is not acceptable.

Please care to provide spoon and folk with the order. Least we could expect spending 400/- on a salad. However very kind of you to send a staff with the same but I missed my bus..
