During my tete-a-tete with restaurant manager, Mr.Pradeep S, I was told that the regular menu offers the guest a selection of choices from home-produced pastas, freshly cooked antipasti (starters) and a wide array of excellent meats and seafood dishes from the region. The wood fired authentic thin crust pizzas are among the popular choice with the patrons.

The Italian Chef Mrunal Uday Dhamaskar told me that the Milanese food extravaganza is being held here to celebrate the authentic food from Milan and the other northern region that have a influence of Italian and French.

Thus it is strikingly different from the central and southern Italian cuisine that has influence of Austria and neighbouring countries and the Mediterranean food.
