“A classy Italian place in main Defence Colony market. Spread across two floors with nice ambiance, wine cellar, and balcony seating. Overall the place has a very soothing vibe. Servers are polite and service was fast. The Red Wine Sangria — made with red Sula wine and chopped fruits — was a complete fruity delight.”

★★★☆☆
“Two weeks in a row I ordered the same dish and the dish had different spices and flavour each week. Not sure why this place cannot prepare the dishes the same each week — consistency is the issue.”
