The food was good. But the Zomato driver put it on its side and delivered smashed and cold.

Firstly, the food was HEAVY. Been to Ottimo many times over the years, used to love their lasagna, dessert and pizza. All of the main course was subpar. Pizza arrived with burnt edges, overcooked to a crisp. The lasagna was so heavy, we asked for a sparkling citrus mocktail to be able to consume it, and that one drink took so long the lasagna was basically rubber by the time it arrived. There was no fizz to the sparkling mocktail either. The saving grace was the dessert. The best part of the meal was sadly, the basil/dried pomodoro butter served with the bread basket. We come here often for occasions in our family but don’t think that will happen anymore, after last night. Disappointed. Price per person: ₹2,000+ Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

Luxury can be understated or it can be opulent. Ottimo Cucina Italiana has the understated variety that it wears with confidence and élan that comes from a very strong foundation in food, overseen by Chef Zubin Writer, who puts a little bit of his soul into every dish that goes out of his Cucina. He possesses an instinctive genius that no books can teach. Ottimo’s clarity is in its rather muted decor of beige, cream, marble and wood, allowing the colours from the food to take centre stage, in a brilliant stroke in design. All design fascination fades into the background with the first look at my plate. Asparagus Panna Cotta. There are two stems. One green and the other white. There’s pine nuts and specks of the very precious Umbrian black truffle that make all the difference in a master dish. Prosecco precedes the Potato Nest to cleanse the palate. The nest itself, topped with salmon roe among other things. It simply disintegrates in the mouth. I delay the palate cleansing for a bit, as I want my taste buds to enjoy the extravagance for a little longer. Lobster Confit, chorizo espuma - imagine that! There’s more. This masterpiece has homemade cagliata and is topped with a green crisp made using the firm textured Carnaroli rice and spinach. Stuffed morel, with tender pea mash and cream topped with porcini mushroom dust. All ingredients come together like magic with porcini adding a small hint of umami. Finally, I come to the magical Tiramisu and simply have to follow it with a few small sips of Limoncello Di Capri. This food wins hearts via the taste buds. This is not a place for a quiet romantic dinner. Ottimo is almost always packed to capacity. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: ₹2,000+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
