Italian Cibo Squisito

Bangalore is the "fooders" as I want to call them (food+lovers) paradise. From Bengali to Rajasthani, from Arabian to Italian. None of your food cravings will go unattended. Sweet to savory are all in this city. Other than Smoors's chocolates and the deserts, Ibaco and Natural's ice cream, Kanti Sweets's Mysore pak, MTR and Airplane's masala dosa there are some best of places to dine.

One of them to name would be the exquisite fine dinning Italian restaurant, Ottimo. This authentic restaurant is situated in heart of bangalore in ITC Gardenia. Those of who are hardcore italian food fanatics and are searching for one lick of that awesome creamy Burrata, then this is the place to be. For those who are wondering what is it, it is a cheese made of mozzarella and cream to be short and simple. Burrata is only available at this place. Burrata means "buttered" in italian. This cheese is made by hand and the taste is fresh.

Ottimo would be on the higher side of your budget but it has its own speciality which is difficult to find in any other italian restaurant. The interiors are quite and perfect for a romantic dinner. The chef Vittorio Greco takes special and personal care of the guests. If you are planning for a family dinner, then you should order for Parmiana de Melanzane which is served in big soup spoon. Once the spoon is in your mouth there is burst of flavors of tomato & aubergine with parmasean and garlic.

Try the pizzas and pastas as they are thin crust and handmade. And to top it all you must try Tota Caprese Con Sorpresa. This dish is as dramatic and romantic as its name. Hot chocolate is poured over the thin chocolate shell encasing a chocolate cake. The whole dish then reduce into a melty gooey sinful goodness. This dish is one of the attractions of the restaurant.

 Altogether a place to be if you are coming to Bangalore or if you are in Bangalore.
