Itly in India. I never eat anything beside italian pizza. Would like to check out with my daughter because she is like me… always eager to explore new food. Once we visit Delhi will check out at least 1 hotel though it is bit costly for me. 😐
Your list of Italian top restaurants in Delhi is a food lover’s dream! I can’t wait to visit my birth city soon.
I love Italian beyond the pizza and lasagnas. I would like to try the veg food though. And am sure Valentine lovers have this post on their wish list.
Your list looks very scrumptious but I steer clear of Pizza, Burgers or Italian as they use a lot if cheese and I am lactose intolerant
It’s rare that I will be in Delhi, but now I am craving for some pizza myself looking at these restaurants!
I’m not a big fan of Italian food. More often than not, there is excessive cheese everywhere. Your reviews of these restaurants might just change my mind. Will see if they have a branch in Bengaluru
For Italian Food lovers , I am sure this list is going to be a jackpot. I know 2 friends of mine who are in love with Italian food and I am sharing your post straight away with them.
Now I’m seriously craving some good Italian food! Love how you’ve covered a mix of fine dining and cozy spots. Adding these to my list for the next Delhi visit!
I love how this blog beautifully curates Delhi’s best Italian spots! The detailed descriptions and personal touches make me want to visit each one. A perfect guide for Italian food lovers—great job
I willbe visiting Delhi again next month and I am going to visit at least one of these restaurants for sure. I love Italian and these look fairly amazing.
Now I know who to call or whose post to fall back on when I’m craving Italian when in Delhi. 😀
Cicchetti Italiano being 100% vegetarian is already on my list now 🙂
I love Italian food and often like to try new places. These places look great but since I’m in Mumbai I can only recommend them to friends. As for me, I’m craving for some Tiramisu now!
This list is gold Preeti. Toscano sounds incredible—those sourdough pizzas and handmade ravioli are calling my name 🤪Definitely planning a visit soon. Thanks for the great recommendations.
I enjoy Italian quite far and few between. But this gives a new perspective to the cuisine:)
Sounds mouth watering. Plan to be in Delhi summers. Hope to visit at least one or two. Bookmarked your post.
Not a big fan of Italian pizza but would love to try something beyond that. The description looks so tempting that its on my list already when i visit next.
Italian places are our favorite! The places you have listed have been added to my visit list!
It’s great to see so many delicious Italian options in Delhi for the New Year! The recommended restaurants sound like perfect spots to indulge in authentic flavors and enjoy a cozy atmosphere.
It seems to be a cozy restuarant with delicious italian cusine. Delicious food is always delighting.
Such a great list of all the Italian restaurants. I remember Tonino,, the Italian restaurant in Gurgaon, helping me to grow my interest in Italian food when I first tried pasta here, and now I can’t wait to experience all these joints. Thank you.
It sure is an Italian food lovers treat! I love how you covered them
All of these restaurants are new to me. Thanks for the recommendations because my family loves Italian food!
