DARIO's

Carefully handpicked ingredients, flour, spices flown down to Pune from where they originate and carefully selected local produce, all keeping in mind the health of the customer proof that there’s more than passion behind this authentic Italian restaurant, Dario’s. The ambience is very simple and reminiscent of an old restaurant. The chairs and benches remind you of an era bygone. The surrounding of the outer area reinforces these thoughts with plenty of trees, making sure you have pleasant, absolutely noise free experience. Inside the restaurant is a long-decked coffee and liquor bar which have some of the finest Italian wines with some great mocktails too. The restaurant serves two different menus, one for breakfast-lunch including sandwiches and burgers and the other is a perfectly designed course-by-course evening menu. The contents of the menu are so fascinating and reading the descriptions makes you feel like

ordering everything on it! Also, the fact that the huge spread is strictly vegetarian, demands more applause for the ability to deliver this daily. I mentioned the importance of the health of their customers and part of the way they enforce this is by washing each salad item and veggies in Mediclorex and rinsed in Silver Colloid. Mediclorex is a type of chlorine which kills almost all types of bacteria, while Silver colloid (actually silver metal water) adds more minerals and neutralises the taste of chlorine. As for the food itself and how it tasted. By this time I was so floored by the amount of care taken before preparation of food and wondered whether anything would interfere with the end product or taste. The answer was an outright NO when we received our Assorted Bruschetta, Pommodoro Soup, the Mediterranean Pizza, Raviolli Pasta (homemade fresh) with mushroom cream sauce, and finally Chocolate Mousse, Lemon Tart and Rich Dark Chocolate Cake. A visit to Dario’s is a must for every Italian food lover and is perfect for couples. The place makes it impressive as it is very reasonable as compared to the overall experience, and the taste provided by the experienced hands of celebrated Chef Dario

himself!
