Review Dario’s Trattoria - Pune

A great italian eatery. Lovely ambience. For starters had the fried mushrooms and the kingfish fish cakes which were just superb. For the main course had the fusili pesto , stuffed tortellini and a pizza which was just awesome. All in all a great dining experience and would definitely recommend to others and would go there again

Dario's serves among the best Italian and Mexican cuisine in Pune. I love the starters such as the Nachos with some delectable red wine. This fine dining space has some very tasty Italian dishes as well as pizzas for veg as well as non-vegitarians. I would be ever ready for a dining experience at Dario's.

Nice place for small functions. Party food was amazing. I didn't try restaurant food, next time I'm gonna try first.

Amazing place for Italian and continental food. Extremely reasonable prices and an impressive menu. The decor is fabulous!

Lovely ambience in the open at the Poona Club. The food was good too and the chocolate tart with salted caramel is to die for

Nice ambience and good food. Great place for a friend's get-together.

Love this place totally. So centrally located and such a great ambience

Love the decor and the outdoor seating. Great food. Good service.

Great food good atmosphere and well rounded prices and good for parties

Great place Awesome ambience. The only problem is you require a member of Poona Club with you to be able to go to the place.

Good food. Lovely ambience.

Loved outdoor seating ....prawns were amazing

Excellent place. Super food

The food is brilliant. Try everything.

Nice quiet place with good food

Lovely service in a relaxed setting.

Excellent Italian cuisine!

Clearly a winner in every way. At Dario’s, all are equal; veg. or non-veg, treated with great taste, great gusto, great ambience & great value!<br/><br/>In simply love the place, a true Bistro/ Restaurant in every way. Recommended for family, friends & business colleagues- I visit often. Great work folks!!

We visited this place a week ago for lunch !!<br/><br/>This place is situated in kalyani nagar has a outdoor as well as indoor seating, we sat on 2nd floor. Ambience was pretty ok on second floor.<br/><br/>We got complimentary munchies breadsticks and breads with cheese dips to have till our order arrived which was a very sweet gesture!!<br/><br/>We ordered<br/><br/>Vegetarina pizza : A thin crust pizza with lot of veggies it had spinach as well and to my surprise even the spinach in it was exquisite!!<br/><br/>Darios's Nachos: Nacho chips with very less beans and a lot of cheese with salsa dips the cheese was too thick and mexican beans were very less. Tasted too bland.<br/><br/>Ravioli kamarina: This was the star of all the dishes!! Raviolis stuffed with spinach and cheese made in scrumptious pink sauce blended with delicious flavours. Was fingerlicking good. I didnt actually want to order this when I read the description of the dish but to my big surprise it turned out to be my favourite.<br/><br/>The place is bit pocket pinching but you got to really try the ravioli kamarina here!!

Visited this amazing restaurant with my friends.<br/>Ambience-Amazing<br/>Music-Fantastic <br/>Food-superrr delicious.<br/>I had veg pizza and pasta. both dishes were absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing, specially pizza... was delicious and exactly what I ordered, thanks to chef Rahul.<br/>Definitely coming back here.

Recently visited Dario's Kalyani nagar outlet, hoping to get some authentic Italian food.<br/><br/>I tried a garlic bread with cheese, Lasagne buzzurra and blueberry cheesecake.<br/><br/>You get complementary bread with some butter with herbs in it before your dishes arrive.<br/><br/>The garlic bread is served as a bread loaf with good amount of cheese, melted inside it and looked very appealing.<br/><br/>The taste however was underwhelming, I could barely taste any garlic and it was like just having bread with some melted cheese. Some garlic flavor even to justify it being called garlic bread or some herbs would've made the dish lot better.<br/><br/>Lasagne also had decent portion size. The moment the dish came to my table, I noticed the corners of the lasagne burnt from the top, the dish was overcooked and some cheese on top clearly burnt due to it.<br/><br/>I took out the burnt portions and showed it to staff. They did acknowledge it but no further reactions from them to make up for the mistake.<br/><br/>Every bite of the cheese on top, I could feel the burnt flavor and cheese didn't seem to be good quality either. Maybe due to being overcooked, it felt that way.<br/><br/>The lasagne other than these issues, tasted pretty good. Really good tomato sauce with bell peppers, herbs and vegetables, blended quite well together and dish would've been an experience had it been cooked properly.<br/><br/>The blueberry cheesecake was the best dish of the night for me. It was perfect, fresh cheesecake, blueberry compote on top and tasted delicious.<br/><br/>I've had some other desserts here on my previous visits like Gatto de Ricotta and Torta Distefano which were really good and worth giving a try.<br/><br/>Service here is bit slow and dull, staff doesn't seem active enough until you call them.<br/><br/>Overall, I had very high expectations from Dario's, which apart from desserts, it didn't meet.<br/><br/>For the amount they charge, you don't expect such mistakes with your food, one expects it to be perfect after paying their prices.<br/><br/>There are better places available in Pune that serve much better Italian for lower prices.<br/><br/>You can't justify it with imported ingredients if your dishes aren't cooked properly or lack basic elements.

This review is for Dario’s trattoria Kalyani Nagar. The ambiance is very dull and boring. We ordered Carbonara and spigola al nimone (baked sea basd fish in lemon butter sauce). The food was served after a long time of 45 mins. The Carbonara was very authentic and I loved how authentic they have made it. We started eating the spigola al nimone and in a while we realised that the fish stinks and is undercooked and not properly seasoned. We informed the water about the same and he took the dish and returned with it after a couple of minutes. But yet the fish smelled so bad as if it had gone bad. We decided not to eat it. The waiter then came with the check. What I did not like the most is that he didn’t even once ask once what was the problem with the fish or how did we like it or for any feedback. Dario’s Kalyani nagar has disappointed me big time. The manager and waiter seemed as if they did not care. I have loved the food served at Dario’s KP. I must have there or ordered from there numerous times and they have never disappointed me. Dario’s KN needs to improve on their customer service and hospitality.

Great date night place. Best pizza in pune. Awesome carpaccio. The panacotta wasnt great. Overall probably my favourite place in Pune. Visited again with my mother and she loved it too.

Order pizza...it was burnt n hard. Overly expensive

Visited with friends. Place located in kalyani nagar. They do have car parking.<br/><br/>Seating: They have outside seating option and also inside. You can also seat at 2nd floor. Very nice ambiance. 5/5<br/><br/>Staff and Service: Very helpful polite staff. Cooperative and suggestions were provided.<br/><br/>Food: We tried White sauce Risotto and Spaghetti white sauce. Both were juicy creamy and very nice.<br/><br/>Drinks: They do have good bar options. Wine to beer to hard drinks.

The pedalino chicken salad i ordered from Zomato was really bad, it had blood in the chicken, was not able to eat this. This is something they should take care of while making a 500 rupees chicken salad. The response from the restaurant when I called regarding the same was also not friendly. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

I ordered food today and I was absolutely disappointed. I ordered the mushroom appetizer and there were literally 10 pieces soaking in oil. The salad again was very less quantity and I can say this because I have visited the restaurant before and had a different experience. Never ordering from here again. Not at all recommended

Everything about this place is awesome-food ambience service and music.dario's trattoria is pawfect....the dishes that I ordered were ; spinach cheese ball , ravioli kamarina pasta, assorted tart..and strawberry lemonade...service was superb with right attitude and very cooperative and helpful staff and happy to had such kind of hospitality....thank you so much which we really 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰must visit the place..and we will definently come back ....kudos ...to dario

The food is not fresh. The drinks are pathetic and no effort was made to prepare them. The whole place was not clean, with mosquitoes and flies all around, sitting on the food. An unhygienic environment with poor food.

The food was very unique. Amazing pasta and a delicious pizza with aromatic ambiance.

Darios has a great brand image in Pune and is known for serving great food. It was my first visit to the Kalyani Nagar outlet. I went there a little early with the hopes of getting a decent place to sit and relax. I was not disappointed. I was amazed to see the number of delivery orders the outlet was receiving.<br/><br/>I chose to depend on the server to suggest food and we went ahead and had soup, bruschetta, ravioli pasta and tiramisu. The complimentary bread and the garlic herbed butter was delicious too. The only downside with the tiramisu. I hadn't expected strawberry jelly underneath the dessert and neither did i except it to be so creamy & dry. All in all the experience was great however couldn't give more than 4 stars.

good service by Jiwan

A very nice and quite place located in Kalyani Nagar<br/><br/>Ambiance- Both outdoor and indoor seatings...Candle lights and quite surroundings for romantic dinner<br/><br/>Food- Authentic italian food...Spaghetti with meatballs in White Sauce is really good...Vola Vola is delicious starter...Pollasterella Pizza is decent<br/><br/>Service- Alam was very good in serving and suggesting dishes...They give complimentary dish which is also nice<br/><br/>Price- Decent

The chocolate cake you gave me last night was sour and smelled bad. I took one bite and knew it was “off”. I smelled the rest of the slice after breaking it apart with my fork and it smelled sour and off. I had the exact same cake a week ago from you and it was delicious, so I know how it should smell and taste. Very sad and I hope the one bite I swallowed and tried unsuccessfully to throw back up doesn’t make me sick. I’m just letting you know since my phone doesn’t work to make calls. Please check your cake to see if it’s old or off. Will delete this review after you get it. Jenna

Fine restaurant with fine food. Pizza, meats, pastas, and desserts are the best. They try really hard to make everything extra nice. Was some of the best food I had in Pune as a foreigner with high expectations of both food and service. If you have any problems with an order talk to management before posting a review, they are very sincere and responsive. I ate here probably 50-100 times over a year with average 700-1500 rupees orders and the food was always good to excellent and was a treat to have - no joke it was the highlight of my day, most days, as a stranger in a strange land with few comforts. My mistake is that it would often be my only meal of the day, and ordered right before closing, and I don’t speak Hindi (they do speak English too, but here Hindi seems better everywhere) and sometimes my SIM card didn’t work so I couldn’t make calls, so when there was a rare mistake I would be “hangry” (hungry-angry) due more to not eating yet and not feeling able to correct it than the small mistake made. It does help to confirm special requests by telephone if you are able. Great food and very nice people. Seasoning is excellent - slow cooked and “real” flavor. One of the best in Pune. Their other location, although veg only, is also excellent, and romantic for dates. Good for business lunches with coworkers too. Thanks for the memories. Despite being disappointed a small handful of times from minor issues with extra special requests, I really truly did appreciate all the fine cooking and work. Great memories to take home. Best, Jenna

I asked for not-spicy spaghetti. It was way spicer than usual. My stomach hurts from a few bites. I couldn’t eat it and had to throw it away. They don’t read custom requests. My last order was also wrong, I ordered no black pepper on vegetables and it was covered in it. Waste of money twice in a row now. Very disappointed. Will stop giving them my money. Throwing away food is a sin. I just need to eat 😢😭

Everything about this place is lovely.<br/>The ambience is very warm and staff is friendly.<br/>They have aced their Italian cuisine.<br/>We ordered alfredo pasta and veg lasagna. Both the dishes were very well cooked.<br/>The star of my lunch were the desserts:<br/>- one of the best tiramisu I have tasted in the city<br/>- nicely baked brownie with hot chocolate and vanilla<br/>A special mention goes to the service. The staff greets you with a wide smile and asks for your suggestions.<br/>My ratings:<br/>Food: 5<br/>Service: 5<br/>Ambience: 4<br/>Overall: 5

Good pizza crust and good service ... Pork was cold and grilled veggies were hard ... Also the pork was bit chewy .

The food was good BUT pathetic delivery time. They took over 1hr 30mins to dispatch the food. If you want to eat from this place, please go there rather than ordering online as their delivery time is extremely long.

Had heard a lot of buzz around this one so just went to try it out of curiosity! Located in a beautifully cozy corner of the city a slightly small place. The decor is tastefully done. We got generous portions of pasta and pizza and tasted authentic! They could have been slightly better on the service though. A large group of the staff was busy packing delivery boxes right on the table next to ours, while we were on self service mode :-)

Such an overrated place, ordered their meal box and I must say it was such an huge disappointment...not even one dish was good....pathetic pizza, tasteless pastas, oily starters and desserts were so so bad...complete waste of money and time....would never recommend them to anyone atleast for deliveries...I wish there was negative rating

#Dario's Trattoria<br/>#Kalyani Nagar<br/><br/>When it comes to the #authentic #Italian #Dario's Trattoria is always on the top. Loved the food and the quality. Usually I don't like #mushrooms but here I loved the taste.<br/><br/>#Prices are little on a higher side but the food is worth definitely. If you like Italian food then this place is worth. #Ambiance is also pretty good.<br/><br/>We tried #Dario's Pizza, #Alfredo and #Cannelloni Pasta.<br/><br/>#Highly Recommended<br/>#Great Taste<br/>#Nice Ambiance<br/><br/>Ek try to definitely banta he boss.....

The Cheese used for the Pizza is one of the best in Pune. I also ordered the polo raspaglia which was cooked in a delicious puree. I felt that this place is pricy without Zomato Gold.

Romantic place with fascinating interior!<br/><br/>Recommended for a dinner date 🍽<br/>Loved the privacy & their service!<br/><br/>Unlike many other restaurants near this area,<br/>No traffic noise to disturb you if you opt for seating inside.<br/><br/>

If you guys are looking for a place that full fill's your hunger of Authentic Italian food then this your place that will make justice to your craving.<br/>The freshly baked Bakery stuff adds a charm on the table. Also the ambiance is soothing. I could just spend my entire day over here. Also do try out their COLD COFFEE, Trust me it was really good !<br/>Guys you must visit this place.

Wont go into details...Ordered a Prawn Starter & a Tenderloin starter... Both Very average with the tenderloin slivers being raw n tasteless.<br/>4 different mains... Chicken... Pork.. Tenderloin n Lamb... 3 of the 4 had similar sauces...Desserts were ok...<br/>Wish the food tasted as yummy as it looked & described on the menu...<br/><br/>Food: 3/5<br/>Ambience: 3/5<br/>Value 4 money: 3/5<br/>Service: 4.5/5

Dario's. This place has never disappointed me with their Italian Food. If you actually want to have the exact flavor’s and the perfect taste of Italian food, this place is highly recommended.<br/><br/>They had the Perfect dessert to end our meal with that was their Tiramisu. I am very confident if you have the actual taste of Italian food you will never go disappointed. Utterly delicious food and the ambiance is a cherry on top.<br/><br/>The vibes at Dario’s takes me back to Goa. Also as said there is nothing more romantic than Italian food and a glass of wine. <br/><br/>Food- 5/5. <br/><br/>Ambiance- 4/5.<br/><br/>Cocktail’s-4.5/5.

Food Highlights : Lasagne Al Forno ,POMODORO<br/> Soup<br/> Ambience Type : Fine Dining<br/><br/>Service : Good<br/><br/>Price : High<br/><br/>FoodieChef Recommends : Thumbs Up<br/><br/>It's one of the trattoria famous for authentic italian food. It's a fine dining place with warm aura.<br/>Pomodoro soup is  appetizing and so are the complementory breads.<br/>Lasagne Al Forno was not the best lasagne I have ever had. It was a tomato lasagne and too much tomato gravy took over the actual lasagne taste.<br/>Overall it's a great place to spend time and relish your food

The ambience reminds you of Goa and the best thing is - some of the staff is FLUENT in ITALIAN! They assured some Italian guests with the menu really smoothly. We had the Dentice Trapanese, which is a dish with red snapper. It was cooked really well and didn't fall apart when you are it with a fork. The Puparu risotto was probably the highlight of the meal - a perfect balance of flavours. Great experience!

I've been to Dario's in Koregaon park in the past and loved it but the experience of the restaurant in Kalyani Nagar was truly disappointing. It was my dad's 80th birthday and an occasion we truly wanted to rejoice which was dampened by abysmal service and quality of food. Post the meal, dessert took a good 45 minutes to arrive and half my guests left as well as it was nearing midnight. I don't think I'll ever visit or recommend this place to anyone unless the service and food levels improve dramatically.

One of the best restaurant in Pune for Italian food lovers who actually know about Italian food. Kudos to Service team they are doing a great job. Thanks for recommends. We had ordered for vola vola,spidini di pollo,pollestrela pizza and tiramisu all are up to mark. Thanks team keep it up.

Worst experience. felt like it’s a fake Dario’s <br/>

Good place to visit with your loved ones. Good collection of wine and very courteous staff and very surprise to us they serve non veg delicacies as well. This was our first time but in future this will be on top in our list.

Anyone can make mistakes, but I do hope you are able to deliver the food to your customer better. Not very happy to receive a pile instead of a pizza. But all the best to take feedback and improve delivery!

Cannot be compared to Dario's Koregaon park outlet. Ambience and food is average. The only dish worth trying is Mushroom risotto and Tiramisu.

The soups were wrongly labelled, the non veg soup was labelled as veg and vice versa. Serious mistake. Please don’t repeat with anyone.

I am so so so totally in love with this place. Ordered for a Risotto and indeed the best so far. They give you a free bread plate aswell, isn't that great! And the blueberry cheesecake was just the cherry on cake I would highly recommend you this place.

Food is delicious.. Really great ambience! Staff is courteous and friendly. Menu suggestions given by the staff was good. Service is really good. Must visit place.

wow...this will be my words at the first place ....<br/>This is the best for Italian food. We had a pasta cannelloni and pizza margarita...and with some drink spicey tiger and berry cad..amazing ambience and friendly staff...would recommend this to friends will visit again for sure .

We enjoy going Darios but dont enjoy all the food we eat. Pizza is really nice but risotto is not my favourite. I try different one each time because i love risotto but coulnt find it yet. Service should be better too.

Below average place. Food quality is below expectations. ordered pasta and pizza both were not prepared well. Uncourteous staff. Not recommended.

So glad this place opened up with non-vegetarian options. The food is really great here.. Definitely recommend the Crema di spinaci and gamberi incazzati ! And the cocktails too.

Nice place for a quiet lunch. Came here for lunch on Sunday and it turned out to be nice outing with family and friends. Good for Italian food with drinks

Suffice to say it is a foodie's delight now! Dario's Kalyani nagar has turned the corner, finally! While it always had courteous staff, the food was not exactly delicious. The new manager Manoj has brought about a remarkable difference. The food is now truly Italian and very delicate in taste. The cheese used in preparations is very very good and makes food taste particularly good! <br/><br/>The environment is as usual very clean, spartan and elegant including the washrooms. The paintings on the walls give a very different feel from that of other ambiences. That dinner left my guests very satisfied:)<br/> <br/><br/>The service needs improvement still, particularly the staff seem to forget the table and guests once the food has been served.

I was looking to have some authentic Italian food when I heard about this place. Unfortunately most dishes we had were average. We ordered 4 types of pizzas, 2 types of pastas, ravioli, bruschetta and a chicken appetiser. The only dish that tasted good was the chicken appetiser. Moreover, the drinks are mediocre too. <br/><br/>However, the staff is so helpful and courteous. We really felt welcomed and taken care of. They were not only recommending dishes but were also hospitable. Another good thing is the downstairs decor, it’s beautifully decorated with fairy lights.

It's a perfect place for an intimate meeting with friends and family. The food was really good and kudos to the team for being polite and quick with our order. Cheers!

Had a great time here. Very nice ambience. Taste was good. Thanks bhim for such a great service. Has lots of parking space . Would seriously recommend. 🤟🤟🤟🤟

Ambience was nice and cozy. They have ample amount of parking space and various sitting options.<br/>Staff was friendly. And crowd varied from age to age. We ordered cheese balls( not Italian name) which was not tasty, maybe because of the oil it was dipped in. While the pasta sauce was nice however the pasta content was thick. <br/>

It was a very nice experience. Excellent food and ambience. The French movie they show on every Wednesday, is a really nice concept. Great place to socialize.

A high expectation ended up with an okayish food.<br/><br/>Planned the visit with sheer high expectation but the food was kind of average.<br/><br/>Complimentary soup and bread platter was really good. Next we had Vola Vola and Tuna.<br/>The first dish was really good and Tuna was satisfactory.<br/><br/>Next we ordered Blueberry Cheese Cake and Gusto Di Ricota. Blueberry one was good but the other one was not something to feel happy about.<br/><br/>Management should do something about the mosquitoes on the upper floor.<br/><br/>Ambience was really nice and staffs are courteous.<br/><br/>Recommended for an evening but different from daily din and bustle.

Loved the ambience. The food was very tasty. The service was very good. A bit expensive, but good to go out with friends and office mates. A good place for a romantic dinner.

This beautiful cafe is located in the calm streets of Kalyani Nagar. The ambience here is similar to those traditional Italian cafes we see and it's gorgeous. Finding a parking for the place also won't be much of a problem as they have their own parking space.<br/>The management and service here is prompt and the staff is polite and always there to help the customers out.<br/><br/>Coming to the food : 1) Vola Vola : I had the chicken vola vola which was creamy herbed chicken in the perfectly cooked pastry which was so fresh and perfect delight. They also serve a mushroom one for vegetarians.<br/><br/>2) Gamberi Incazzati : This was a Prawns dish where the prawns were pan seared in white wine, cherry tomatoes, parsley, chilli flakes and garlic. The prawns were perfectly cooked and had a really good zesty flavors from the tomatoes and a perfect hint of spices. Perfect dish as a bar bites.<br/><br/>3) Dario's Pizza : This was thin crust 4 cheese pizza with fresh tomatoes , bell peppers , broccoli , onions , sundried tomatoes , black olives and red chillies. Pizzas are often labeled as a junk food but this pizza felt more like a really healthy snack rather than junk food. I just personally think that it could have been more well seasoned.<br/><br/>4) Penne Amatriciana : This was a Penne in red tomato sauce and a little bit cream with cherry tomatoes , chilli and Parma ham. The penne was perfectly cooked but I felt that the tomato sauce was bit too tangy in flavor and lacked a bit a seasoning. The ham was delicious but I just wish there was more quantity of ham in it.<br/><br/>5) Pollo Raspaglia : This was a grilled chicken breast with fresh lemon jus and buttered vegetables. The chicken was a little overcooked but the flavor on the chicken was really good. The jus and vegetables added a balance to the herby flavors of the chicken.<br/><br/>6) Gattò Di Ricotta : This was a Sicilian ricotta and Barley pie with orange zest and cinnamon. It's a very unusual combination of ingredients for a dessert but yet works so beautifully. This pie had flavors similar to a classic Apple pie and it was served warm. Loved the flavors.<br/><br/>7) Assorted Tarts : The tarts here were Tangy lemon tart , Baked Yogurt tart & Salted Caramel and Chocolate Tart. I did not personally taste the Baked Yoghurt tart but the other two tarts were beautiful. The flavors were very simple yet so yummy!! Tangy lemon tart was refreshing and the salted caramel and chocolate combination never goes wrong. The tart crust was also baked perfectly.<br/><br/>The drinks here are really good! My favorites were Berritalia , Electric Iced Tea , Bloody Peru.<br/><br/>Overall this place is really good one to go for a nice date or with your friends, family or colleagues. This place is perfect example of "Slice of Sicily in Kalyani Nagar"<br/><br/>

When it comes to authentic Italian food, Darios is the best !!!<br/>I am frequent visitor of Darios, Koreagaon Park. And recently visited their another outlet from Kalyaninagr. Its 3 story building, on ground floor they have both indoor and outdoor seating, first floor beautifully decorated with the paintings which are made by Dario’s himself. <br/>On 2nd floor they have projector, books, sofa; where you can spend some quality “Me Time”. They also play French movies on Wednesdays. And on top floor its open roof where you can plan private parties, get together.<br/><br/>We had following things from their vast menu😉<br/><br/>Beverages<br/><br/>➡️Sunburst<br/>This was from mocktails section , it was totally a blast of Orange , Pineapple, Ginger, Grape juice and cinnamon flavours, Just perfect for summers.<br/><br/>➡️Bloody Peru<br/>All time favourite Guava juice with spices, it also had balsamic Vinegar .<br/><br/>Food<br/>➡️Bruschetta Classica – It was home-made bread topped with tomatoes, onion , celery , garlic and basil.Perfect appetiser to get started with. Very light, crispy and tasty.<br/><br/>➡️Bietola<br/>It was beetroot based salad , it was pretty basic yet tasty.It had slices of beetroot with feta cheese and balsamic dressing .Healthy food makes me happy 😊<br/><br/>➡️Dario’s special pizza<br/>This was thin crust pizza, four cheese and lots of vegetables . Again this was amazing in taste.<br/><br/>➡️Involtini Di Zucchine.<br/>Grilled Zucchine stuffed with roasted Mediterranean vegetables , mozzarella Parmesan cheese and tomato sauce.<br/><br/>Desserts<br/><br/>➡️Tiramisu and lemon tart<br/>We had Tiramisu and Lemon tart in desserts , both were super fresh and yummy.<br/><br/>After having all this we had the Coffee Shots, I must say it was Cherry on the top 😊😊😊<br/><br/>Overall ,best place for Italian Cuisine that one shouldn’t miss, you can spend hours here seating with your loved ones ,beautiful ambiance and prompt service, Must Visit place !!!

If you are craving for an authentic Italian meal – head to Darios. Italian food for most of us is Pizza and Pasta but there is more to this cuisine and you should try other specialities too at this place which is the flagbearer of Italian food in Pune.<br/><br/>I recently visited Darios Trattoria – Kalyani Nagar which is a 3 storied building offering multiple seating options. Purple entrance is so inviting!<br/>Ground floor offers inside as well as outside seating with a bar view. First floor has walls covered by colorful paintings made by the man - Dario himself. He is the mastermind of food curated at Darios, a super chef, an artist and a writer too.<br/>2nd floor has a library and also has a big projector. Books are perfectly sorted and sofas are placed all over so that you can enjoy reading a book with a cuppa coffee or watch movies or your favorite series on screen while eating your food and relaxing on sofa. They play French movies with English subtitles every Wednesday here.<br/>Roof top is a nice place to host private parties.<br/>While talking to Rebecca – Mrs. Darios – I got to know so much about Italian cuisine. They know their food really well (of course they do ;) ).<br/>We started with mocktails – no fancy presentation but great taste. Sunburst and Bloody Peru are my personal favorites – Bloody peru has a taste of peru and pepper, sunburst is combination of 4 fruits – best to beat the summer heat.<br/>Bruschetta Classica – true to it's name, a very classy starter. Home-made bread, crunchy on outer sides and soft inside with classy toppings of cherry tomato, celery, basils and onions.<br/>'Tanu Sorriso' is what I loved – flaky pastry stuffed with mediterreanean veggies and parmesan, absolutely delicious! Sorriso means smile and this anti-pasti will definetly get a smile on your face.<br/>'Bietola' had thiny sliced beetroot with feta cheese and balsamic dressing – if you want to eat something extremely healthy – this if for you.<br/>Then we had Dario’s special pizza – healthy yet tasty. There were 4 types of cheese but not over loaded and lot of veggies which gave it a super taste without making it heavy on stomach.<br/>Then came the main course – Spacchiusa and Involtini Di Zucchine. I loved Involtini Di Zucchine – It was grilled zucchini stuffed with parmesan, mozzarella and veggies.<br/>Tiramisu and lemon tart were super to end the lunch.<br/>And after so much to eat we could not do without coffee. Coffee shots were essential to digest so much 😉 and to get up from that cosy seating.

Vegetarian food preparation was not as expected and not value for money at all.<br/>Great disapointment!<br/><br/>Non Vegetarian food preparation: Good!

Visited Dario's, Kalyani Nagar for a lunch. As we enter the restaurant, we are amazed with the ambiance. There are lot of paintings on the wall by Dario's. Lot of open space is there. Seating is comfortable. <br/><br/>We tried few of the dishes here. So, here's review of them.<br/><br/>- Sunburst: FIrst mocktail I tried. This contains. orange, pineapple, ginger, grape juice and cinnamon. Taste was perfect, enjoyed every sip of it.<br/><br/>- Bloody Peru: This is another mocktail we tried. Taste was good, a hint of guava was there. <br/><br/>- Bruschetta Classica: Crunchy bread with chopped tomatoes, onion, celery, garlic and basil. It was crispy and tasty.<br/><br/>- Vola Vola: Creamy chicken, thyme and mushroom filled pastry cases. It was good. Stuffing was perfectly made.<br/><br/>- Gamberi Incazatti: Pan seared prawns with white wine, garlic, cheery tomatoes, chili flakes and parsley. This dish I liked the most. Prawns were fresh. Masala was crafted to perfection in entire dish.<br/><br/>- Dario's Pizza: This consists of fresh tomatoes, 4 cheeses, bell peppers, onions, broccoli, sun dried tomatoes, black olives and red chili. Taste was perfect. It was healthy pizza indeed.<br/><br/>- Funghi Porcini: Creamy rice with porcini mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. Another healthy dish. Rice was well cooked.<br/><br/>- Penne Amatriciana: This is chicken pasta containing perma ham cherry tomato, basil, tomato sauce, red chili with touch of cream. Taste was very good. Chicken was in good quantity.<br/><br/>- Pollo Raspaglia: This was grilled chicken breast. I loved it. Very nice healthy option, rich in protein. Along with chicken it contains mixed herbs.<br/><br/>- Tiramisu: Perfect dessert to end the meal. It was delicious.<br/><br/>- Assorted tart: Lemon tart was best, tasted very nice.<br/><br/>As I said earlier, the ambiance is perfect. They also have library on second floor and open terrace seating as well. Staff is courteous and prompt. Service is quick. We met owner Dario's wife. She was humble, had a knowledge of each and every dish along with all ingredients. It was nice meeting with her.<br/><br/>Worth a visit.

I am confident that as a food lover you must have come across the mention of 'Dario's' often if you dwell in Pune. The chain of restaurants is named after the owner Dario Dezio himself. Dario, who hails from Sicily (a large island of Italy), brings a confluence of both northern and southern flavours of Italy to India. Dario and his wife to be met in India and have been here since over 30 years. That's nearly the same amount of time I have been alive.<br/><br/>What excites me most about Darios is that there is a lot of care and love taken in everything including the ingredients, the menu, the decor, the service, etc. There is clearly an underlying passion in what they do.<br/><br/>The branch in Kalyaninagar, Darios Trattoria, translates to Darios Italian Kitchen, is a four tier huge restaurant. The groundfloor has a bar and both indoor and outdoor seating. The second floor, has the main dining area which is comfortable and with a lot of personal touches with paintings including the ones made by Dario. The third floor resembles a living room with a library where anyone can just hang, read, spent peaceful time with or without anyone. The fourth floor is the rooftop, which is exclusive for parties and other larger events.<br/><br/>The food is as authentic as it gets. For most Indians, Italian food is Pasta and Pizza. Dario's breaks the convention and brings to the table italian dishes which are famous all over the world, including tortellini,risotto, classic bruschetta, Sorriso, etc. My favourite was the pollo raspaglia, grilled chicken breast with a buttery garlicky jus and assorted veggies.<br/><br/>Yes, the cost of food is on the higher side but in return you not only get excellent food, with imported and authentic organic ingredients, you also get a very high level of service and an unforgettable experiance.<br/><br/>I recommend Darios Tratorria to anyone who loves Italian food. It is Italian in its true sense. Buon appetito.

While i really liked the food here, but the menu seems a tad bit limited compared to Dario’s Koregaon park, especially the pasta and ravioli section. However the food still tastes equally good, the staff is really courteous, and the place is perfect to take along your furry friends

Love this place... they have one of the best pesto pizza in town... the spinach cheese ravioli is also bomb...comfort food... quite n calm place to enjoy your meal...

Dario's Trattoria one of the best Italian Restaurant in Pune.<br/>Place is quiet nice, good peacefull environment, interior is cute, good place for a date night.<br/>Food over here quiet good but price is bit high still other than this the place is quiet nice.<br/>A must visit restaurant if you are a Italian food fan.

Authentic Italian food in the town. Polite and friendly staff. Special thanks to Sisir. Will definitely visit again as well recommend to my friends.

Nice ambience. A perfect outdoor joint for smooth evenings. The pizzas are a must try and the chocolate cake is amazing! The mocktails are good too.

when i go to Pune Im sure I won't complaint about food and service. Good suggestions and I ate a good piccante with fresh ingredients and good taste. I'd go back to eat again. Buonissimo ! Hatsss off to team Dario's.

One of the best restaurant in Pune for Italian food lover. We had ordered for Carduni pizza and Gnocchi do masa ganzue both were good. About the service part they suggest you food as per your taste and with great recommendation. Service is great. They truly proving they cooked the food with LOVE.<br/>Great job team. Thanks for making our evening so wonderful.

So far the best place for Italian food in Pune that I’ve tried ! ❤️<br/>Totally loved the the pizza and pasta there as well as the steaks were great too 😍

Good place to visit with your friends. Good food in non veg category and staff is very polite.They assist you in suggesting the food as per your pallette. Their suggestions are mind blowing and they have very vast collections of wines pairing with food.<br/><br/>Thanks darios team

Very over rated restaurant, service and the upkeep of the restaurant not up to the mark<br/>The waiters are confused and doesn't know how to take care of the guests

Had been here for dinner with friends on woman's day. Ambience is calm n soothing. food is also good. Loved the caveloni .. and best part for me today is the chocolate pastry served by them on occasion of women's Day . Thanks Dario's team . Staff is poilte n prompt too

There are 3 things.. worth going for to this place. Food.. Ambience and JEEVAN. The head waiter... I guess.. the guy truly elevates your dining experience.. a humble, ever smiling guy.. as for the food.. everything is delicious, mouth watering.. subtle in taste yet the taste lingers on... My personal fav.. d canavo salad.. fish lovers should definitely give it a go.. could go on and on about the place..

Dario’s is a decent place , I visited this place last month in order to have lunch 🥙. I guess so far after Paashh they are best in presentation.<br/>Ambience: 3/5<br/>Food: 4/5 <br/>Service : 3.5/5

Yesterday I have visited to Dario's kalyani Nagar new branch of KP Darois. We had asparagus soup, pedalino salad, Pollo raspaglia and dentice trapanese... which was very delicious...the server ( Bheem) gave the good suggestion on food..<br/>Well trained staff and awesome food quality...<br/>Keep it up....<br/><br/>I will be back again...

Didn't like the food much.. ambience was good, callm relaxed and romantic. there were billing mistakes which if I hadn't noticed I would have been paying for

Went here unplanned for a dinner with a friend. I have been a huge fan of Dario's in koregaon park so thought of trying the new outlet in Kalyani nagar too. The ambience is amazing perfect for a date night the music is good too goes well with the ambience.<br/>Since we were only 2 people we ordered only 2 dishes ravioli and margherita pizza. To be honest when the ravioli it didn't looked that appetising but it changed my view totally once I tasted it. Bang on tasty and delicious. Also, one can never go wrong with margherita pizza which was amazing as well. They also serve you initially assorted breads with Olive oil and dips. Loved the food and ambience. But, they can work on some personal skills as the staff was not that friendly.

One of the best Italian restaurant in the city. Good food with great Service and classy ambiance with garden area setting option. We had ordered for pollo de falco, zuppe fungi and Dario's pizza all are mouth watering. We will definitely visit again soon. Great job team<br/>

The over experience was average. We as a family found the Koregaon Park branch to be far better in service and food.<br/>The starters were strictly ok. Not KP Dario's quality. The main course was better.

The ambience was definitely pleasing and cozy. However, after being a regular at the original outlet the food here was a bit average.<br/>We ordered the Dario’s nachos which was average followed by the pita bread and creamy spinach dip and bruschetta were quite decent. <br/>The siciliano and carduni pizza was definitely the saving grace. The tiramisu was again average. Overall a so so experience.

If some one ask me about Italian food at pune.. The first name from my side will be Dario's Trattoria. Awesome place quite and Amazing food specially pizza, grilled chicken and hand made pasta awesome. I am regular to this place and I love it. Veg section is less but for non-veg it's more than enough...<br/>Great service....<br/><br/>Keep it up ....👍

Very, very average food. I dont think it tasted like authentic Italian at all. Even the Margherita pizza came with tomato sauce, not sliced tomatoes and dried basil, no fresh basil. Quite disappointed. Or dont kniw if it was because we used zomato gold.

The ambience of Dario's is quite soothing and attractive. With a large space for outdoor seating and plenty of plants, one would definitely want to spend as much time as possible.<br/>Coming to the food, we ordered Dario's Nachos and Gambario Incazzati, a prawn dish. We didn't like the Nachos much. Prawns were ok, but were a bit chewy.<br/>We then ordered Dario's pizza. The pizza was delicious, with nice crispy thin crust and a nice mix of fresh toppings.<br/>Maiali Vidanazzu, a pork dish served with veggies was also good.<br/>Torta Destifano, that we had for dessert, was a delightful end to our meal. The mud pie was tasty and with hot chocolate sauce and ice-cream, we were licking our spoons for more.<br/>Service could have been better

Let me just start with i am a VEGAN had the worst experience here !! I have visited Dario's Koregaon Park where i had a super experience which lead me to try this branch. As you enter you have no one to guide you through or help. It was mostly empty with a very dull vibe which immediately spoiled my mood because i went to celebrate my moms birthday. We ordered garlic bread nonvegan food for my family which included Garlic bread with no taste and ridiculous amount of cheese, pasta which was somehow just sour, my vegan pizza which was the worst pizza i have ever had and lasagna which was just ok. As you can see the pizza had some sort of green spread which had no taste, the veggies weren't cooked AT ALL also who adds potatoes to the pizza and no onions??? Also noone knew what vegan food is whereas Darios KP has a separate VEGAN MENU !!! I ate only because it was worth 500 bucks !! I DO NOT SUGGEST this place to anyone !!! Please skip it and go to KP instead. The service here is horrendous.

It might be a one off experience, but ordering a desert tart from here was a big mistake.<br/><br/>The Salted caramel and chocolate tart was so tasteless. I could not taste ANY caramel in it and it made me wonder if I got the wrong order.<br/><br/>But that’s not the worst of it. My first bite of base was so horrible, the excess sweetness of the tart could not hide how stale it was. God knows how many days it was lying out for before it was picked up to be delivered to me.<br/><br/>I cannot say much about the Italian food, but my experience tells me a lot about the quality of their food and also their standing on freshness.<br/><br/>This place is definitely a no-no for me<br/>

Darios Darios Darios......best place for italian food lovers. I heard about this place from lots of my friends n last night visited this place,it was busy night for them but service guys arranged table for us ambience is pleasant food taste was awesome service was good overall best experience of dining here..keep going would like to visit here soon.<br/>I would like to thanks Mr.Manoj for his suggestions

Did you know Darios is one of the Ospitalita Italiana certified restaurant? ( it’s a quality endorsement issued by italian govt to all italian restaurants over the world ) And this is Pune’s first. <br/>Well that just levelled up my expectations especially after an amazing experience at Darios KP. <br/>But i was a bit let down as the food here is quite average. They served us an antiplasti platter as a complimentary dish to begin with. Nice fresh bread with garlic butter :) <br/>The ambience is really good with indoor and oitdoor seating and the staff is very polite! <br/>Recommended : Virgin Pinacolada - Berrycade - Pollo Di Falco

Cannot believe the difference in quality between the branches. Kalyani Nagar was a severe disappointment! We had to send back our lamb chops cause I couldn't even cut through them with a steak knife. The other dishes were beef tenderloin & the lemon snapper, both of which were just passable. Each dish took at least 40 minutes to come when the restaurant had no one else but our table of 2. And then the worst part - both of us eating there have an upset stomach.<br/>Can't imagine this happened at a Dario's !

Dario's restaurant is really good having options tor outdoor and indoor sitting.<br/>Dario's special pizza was tasty<br/>Service is really fast.<br/>Nice music and beautiful ambience

It's a coey place!<br/>Lovely ambience.<br/><br/>So we ordered :<br/>Potatoe pizza : This was the first time I was have potatoes in a pizza, honestly dint like it much.<br/>They waiters here messed up with our brownie twice.<br/>And the curd cake, here it is now wait.

The food at darios is great and also the service is very nice. I also enjoyed the mocktails specially Bloody Peru. Do try there Pizzas as well.

Food 4/5.<br/>Ambience 4/5.<br/>Service 5/5.<br/><br/>Nice place for a candle light dinner with your love one, but the place is not crowded. Service was good. Overall a good experience.

Serene, peaceful and beautiful.<br/><br/>This is about the place and ambience.<br/><br/>The food is fabulous. The ham and sausage pizza was too good. Forgot the name of the chicken cooked in aribiatta and white sauce but that too was amazing. The mojito was icing on the cake.<br/><br/>Must visit for the great tasting legendary pizzas that they serve.

I liked the Ambience and location of this restaurant. Located in the heart of kp near osho ashram. The food is nothing great. They tasted normal. Found it to be bit expensive with compared to the food portion served. Overall an ok place to visit.<br/>My ratings<br/>Food 3/5<br/>Ambience 4/5<br/>Quality 3/5<br/>Service 4/5<br/>Value for money 3/5

This restaurant has easily become the best Italian restaurant in town for me.. i recommended it to my colleagues for lunch one afternoon n we all were pleasantly surprised by the ambience, the artwork , the Italian vibes and most importantly the mouth watering Italian food 😋! They even have an Italian thali! We loved their Nachos, white sauce pasta, risotto, pizza, red sauce pasta, cheesecake, brownie and mock tails.. im definitely visiting again!
