Mama mia restaurant located in the heart of swargate is a delight for Italian lovers. It's Mozzafiato interiors, menu & ambience takes you straight to the la la land of Italy. They have a really vast menu with nearly 15-20 options in pizzas & pastas. Their mocktails & shots are unique with an edgy presentation(bartender is really good at his work). Do try the following dishes -
1. Khaman oxide - A twist to the gujarathi dhokla with tangy ingredients.
2. Gastro pani puri - A new take on the usual pani puri with syringes & test tubes for serving.
3. Julia roberts pizza - A yummy, thin crust pizza with lots of toppings.
4. Stone grill rice - A new concept where in you get to choose rice or noodles with a sauce of your choice. It's a signature dish & my favourite especially the exotic sauce.
5. Ravioli pasta barbaresca sauce - Yummiest ravioli i have tried in a long time. The spinach filling with the delicious barbaresca sauce is mouth watering.
6. Finale dessert - This dessert is the highlight of the restaurant & it is prepared right in front of you. Chocolate landscape is a dream come true for chocolate addicts with a theatre effect of oxide smoke. A special mention to Prem for serving us this yummy dessert.
A big big thumbs up to the management & staff for being so friendly & courteous. Service is really quick & the rooftop ambience adds a special experience to your dining. It's a pure veg Italian as well as indian food restaurant for all age groups right from babies to oldies. So the next time you are in swargate just head to this italiano place.
A special mention for pankit, abhay & aditya for their outstanding management & wonderful concept.
Laa Unico - El Elegido (The Chosen One)
Laa Unico means “The One” or “The Unique One” in Italian. Setup in Mukund Nagar, the restaurant has chosen an apt name. An extremely beautiful setting on a rooftop, the place is a pure vegetarian restaurant that does not serve alcohol however boasts of a stunning bar that serves some quirky and colorful mocktails.
A fine-dining setting, Laa Unico has seating comforts for everyone. Apart from the regular tables and chairs, they also have private cabanas and hutments for larger parties.
Shots
The Red Devil was served in test tubes nestled in a beaker full of ice. Made with orange, pineapple and lemon juice, this was a good start to the tasting. Served in shot glasses, the Laa Unico Shots looked cute on a wooden slice and a blend of vanilla with a hint of cardamom, this was a delicious shot. #DeliciousDelicious
Mocktails
The Dragon Mojito was the standard mojito blended with chunks of dragon fruit which gave a wonderfully different flavor to the whole drink. And with a sample served in a cut-out dragon fruit itself, it had a unique presentation too.
Zuppas (Soups)
The Roasted Pepper Soup [Rs. 170] is described as a soup with the perfect blend of red and yellow peppers, mixed herbs, garlic, onions, leeks, carrots and sweet chili sauce. However it looked and felt more like a packet tomato soup with a smattering of crushed pepper on top. A bit disappointing, to say the least.
Thankfully the Zuppa Di Asparagus [Rs. 200] was a saving grace with a lovely creamy soup full of asparagus flavors.
Chattar Pattar
This section is where the chefs at Laa Unico shine through with their creativity and fusion.
The Sev Puri Tacos [Rs. 220] had tortillas stuffed with the usual sev puri ingredients of masala mash potato, spicy tangy chutney, crispies and onion. A wonderful and flavorful combination, one that was relished by all. The Mexican Bhel [Rs. 210] was another fusion of our Indian street food with Mexican touch. Good flavors overall.
Khaman Oxide [Rs. 295] was the dish where the liquid nitrogen finally made its entry. Khaman crumble with a flavorful relish of Indian chutneys, cooled and sprinkled with liquid nitrogen. While it does leave a slightly metallic aftertaste, the dish was quite delicious and chilled.
The Gastro Pani Puri [Rs. 180] too felt like a modern version of pani puri using chemistry set. Tangy, spicy and sweet chutneys were served in test tubes. Multi-colored liquids in test tubes to be poured from one place to other – that’s was extremely memory-evoking. And the fact that you can devour the final mixture, was like the cherry on top.
Antipasti
The Nachos with Cheese Sauce [Rs. 235] were served with red and green tomato salsa however the salsa was more like a smoother and finer chutney rather than coarsely cut up salsa.
The Pale Di Potato [Rs. 195] were a crunchy bunch of crispy potato skins which went well with the served garlic mayo dip however was disappointed with the Jalapeno Sticks [Rs. 270]. While the stuffing was gooey and cheesy, there was hardly any taste of the jalapeno, despite being served whole. :-/
Oriental Starters
The oriental starters at Laa Unico was something I was pretty impressed with.
The Paneer Lollipop [Rs. 270] had finger cut paneer chunks tossed in exotic sauce and garnished with sesame. Lovely flavors, this went very well with the mocktails on offer. The Stir Fried Veg. [Rs. 290] had exotic vegetables tossed in black pepper sauce which was another equally delicious dish. #YumYum #HighlyRecommended
Indian & Tandoor Starters
The Multani Paneer Tikka [Rs. 370] had chunks of cottage cheese stuffed with mix veg. folded and coated in a mixture. Loved the punch of the veggies with the paneer envelope. #DeliciousDelicious
Pizza
Although we were already full by the time the Italian and Indian mains were served, seeing pizzas and pastas on the table always tempted us to have “just one more bite.” :D
All the pizzas served to us, Julia Robert [Rs. 440], Bombay Masala [Rs. 410] and the Rustico Special [Rs. 480] had a thin but hard base with extremely similar toppings, especially the Julia Robert and Rustico. All in all, not the best pizzas I have tried.
Pasta
Pasta Del Barone [Rs. 440] was made with pink sauce, a blend of the classic béchamel and tomato sauce; while the Pasta Barbaresca [Rs. 450] had a flavorsome creamy sauce. Very well made pastas with an abundance of sauce however found a small stone in the Barbaresca. Pointed it out to the manager, a sincere apology and a quick replacement of the dish with an assurance of better quality control sorted it out quickly.
The Aglio Olio E Pepperoncino [Rs. 330] was a perfect example of how an Aglio Olio should be made and Laa Unico has nailed it. A lovely drizzle of olive oil on top helped elevate the dish. #DeliciousDelicious
Fondue
Fondue is a Swiss dish of melted cheese served in a communal pot (fondue pot) over a portable stove heated with a candle or spirit lamp, and eaten by dipping bread into the cheese using long-stemmed forks. Indians have taken this concept and applied it to a lot of Indian dishes and the results are pretty impressive.
The Pav Bhaji Fondue [Rs. 350] had crisy bits of pav served with a melting pot of bhaji. A good way to enjoy the classic delicacy.
Indian Mains
Having almost no space left in our collective tummies, we decided to trim down our order of Indian Mains and zeroed in on the Veg. Vilayati and Kaju Paneer.
An excessive use of tomato sauce in the curry meant the Veg. Vilayati tasted like sour grapes although the Kaju Paneer was a surprise. Having requested for a slightly less sweet version, Laa Unico did not disappoint. Rich and creamy, the dish was a perfect balance of flavors.
The mains were accompanied by varied Indian breads like Cheese Oregano Naan [Rs. 110], Masala Dhania Ki Roti [Rs. 80] and Cheese Chili Kulcha [Rs. 120].
Desserts
Just like a married man can still check out other people [albeit surreptitiously ;)], I too am allowed to check out desserts while on a sugar-free diet.
The Chocolate Mud Cake [Rs. 250] had soft chocolate cake drenched in gooey chocolate sauce. Looked like a mess however tasted delish. The Cream Caramel [Rs. 170] on the other hand looked pretty as a picture however lacked the signature wobble that defines the dish. Felt a bit dense on the palate as well.
The Chocolate Landscape [Rs. 490] had a lot of theater to the dish. Made live at the table, it has mud cake soil, enriched brownie chunks and oodles of chocolates, and drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce.
Mukund Nagar and surrounding areas sorely needed a place like Laa Unico. Pure vegetarian, alcohol free yet with an ambiance to match any top bars in the city, Laa Unico will appeal to young as well as the young at heart.
It was my friends birthday and we had booked a table along with the decoration and cake at laa unico. Trust me she was more than happy to see it. The decoration was wonderful, we had options to choose from the theme of decoration, we choose the black and golden. The cake was fab. It tasted yummy. We also ordered special fruit puch mojito there, it was way too amazing. There was a magician who entertained us for a while and the ambience was great. The food was amazing, good quality, nice service and the waiters were polite. Would highly recommend this place. We had nanza there, it's a nice combo of pizza and naan and filling too. Must try. White pasta was also good in quality and qty both. I would rate this place 5/5
Love the food here, great ambiance, great place to hangout with friends. Live the vibe here.
Food is so delicious

The way of their presentation of dishes is very impressive i loved it. Staff members are very friendly. I suggest you guys to pre book if you are planning to go here as this place is crowdy.
Enjoy this amazing gastronomy drink with a befitting name 😉- Kiss of Love! ❤️💕
With this you experience the love yourself, a gastronomy drink with a combination of strawberry, lemon and some more twist!
Apart from this drink , this place serves food with amazing taste , a bit on pricey side but totally worth it keeping in consideration the ambience and service.
This is very pleasant place to eat in the evening. We liked the food and presentation of the food. The waiter who was serving us was rude and he was rude to other waiters as well which irked us.
But then their excellent magician Amit came to perform at our table and made our evening happy with his great mind blowing magic tricks. Ultimately we enjoyed our experience at Laa Unico.
A great restaurant to spend your evening. Especially on Tuesday. We loved the ambience and food taste, they got quite a new variety in veg food. We loved the magic tricks on our table by Amit Kalntri. He was very unique and amazing magician. We enjoyed dining at Laa Unico, coming back soon !!!
Very nice decorations done from then.. Thank u so much😊😍
Want to try pure veg with a spectacular gastronomical experience then this is the place to be.
Visited here to celebrate my friend’s bday.
Ordered gastro panipuri, their unique pav bhaji, chaat, margarita pizza and la unico sizzler.
Everything was top notch, even the sizzler didn’t disappoint as it was spicy just as I wanted.
Overall the ambience is perfect and even the food was wow which at first i didn’t expect to be to true!
I was here with my friends on Tuesday or as they say magical Tuesday. Because a brilliant magician Amit Kalantri came to our table and blow us away with his fun, perfect and fantastic magic, he was very joyful and professional, loved the magic experience in a restaurant. The food was equally magical because once we ate the first bite it disappeared quickly from our plate into our stomach. Maze cornetto, Paneer lollypop, Gastro Panipuri amazing taste.
It's a good place for vegetarian food lovers. They have plenty of options on the menu. You can find almost all types of dishes in this restaurant. And also they have a separate menu for mocktails uh can try those mocktails. I won't say they're too impressive. I mean, they're bit costly compared to the content it have but if you want to try something new, you can go with it.
Perfect place for dine in with family . Staff is really good and friendly. Service is really good . You can try Moctails they are amazing. I tried Cool volcano and it was good. Chilli panner and manchurian dry is also superb.. try this place at least once.. I have tried tomato soup … it was amazing and fresh as compared to other restaurants.
All the options are great, Unique Presentation for all the dishes.
Must visit for all vegetarians
The staff is humble, professional and courteous
Very good mocktails.
We also liked Pizza there.
Pasta taste wise was good but the portion is a bit less as compared to the price.
The restaurant is on the roof top, but feels a bit contested because the building rooftop itself is small with limited capacity.
Ambiance was nice. Have the valet parking. They have decoration table which cost 1500/- more. Food quantity is good and quality is average. Price range are high.
Nice music surrounded place. Hospitality is very nice. Red velvet drink is good in taste. Overall nice experience.
Quality food.
somewhat pricey but you can find some discounts on swiggy or zomato.
It's a beautiful restaurant with amazing taste. One should definitely visit
Good vegetarian continental family restaurant. Tasty food. Had ordered starters. Quantity provided was 5 could not be shared by 4. It is not a big lecuna, but would have been better if quantity would have been more and in even units.
They serve cold moctails, no coffee or tea.
Ambience is nice. Have lift to reach to the roof top restaurant.
One can definitely visit the nice hotel
The ambience is amazing. It was a great experience and the staff was accommodating to open the AC area earlier upon request. The mocktails menu is great. The food was great tasting as well. Overall highly recommend. We didn't taste variety, but whatever we ordered was very tasty.
Great place for dinner with family and friends. The menu has lots of variety and excellent taste. We tried Nachos, Julio Robert Pizza, Pav Bhaji Fondue, Paneer Chilly, Shevpuri Tacos, Mexican Bhel plus Diwani Handi veg and rotis. All the items had excellent taste and portion size was good. The ambience is awesome. They have valet parking as well. Highly recommended for pure veg dinner with family and friends.
