If you have been in Hyderabad for a period of over 3 years or so, it is highly unlikely that you wouldn't have heard of Veneto. The place was all kinds of happening, famous and popular. But it shut down for a good amount of time, thanks to the metro construction. AND now, it's open again, with a different name and a different menu, albeit the setting and ambience remains the same.
For those unaware, sitting at the roof of a building on Road 36, this place has the most soothing feels to it. If it's hot outside, grab a table indoors and be comforted by the AC. But around evening, as the sun decides to descend, the breeze makes the open air seating seem more lucrative than anything else. A view of the city, pretty decor, and light music— nothing sets the mood better.
I'll stop romanticising the place, and get on to the main agenda. As the name gives away, they have mainly Italian cuisine to offer. They do have a full bar, for the liquid accompaniments to your food. The food is a bit of a hit and miss in some cases, while spot on in other. Let me break it down.
🔸 STARTERS
🔹 Mozzarella Ricotta Fingers: Quite a good mix of both cheeses, the fingers slightly lacked in the terms of seasoning. With the dip, it was flavourful, but otherwise lacked a kick.
🔹Cheese Garlic Bread: This could have done with a bit more of garlic flavour, but the cheese amount and the crispiness was just to my liking.
🔸 PASTAS
🔹 Arrabiata: The red sauce had just the right amount of tanginess, balanced well by the other flavours.
🔹 Alfredo: The white sauce was one oh-so-good! It was not only creamy, but also had a decent amount of cheese mixed in, as well. ❤️
🔹 Pesto Al Genovese: Not a fan of the pesto flavour, so I won't be able to comment much on this. But this was cheese infused, lowering the intensity of pesto flavour and could be given a try in case one wishes to experiment.
🔸 PIZZA
🔹Diavolo: We had this one from the vegetarian section, and boy, did it look pretty! Loaded with veggies and cheese, this one is good to satiate the cravings. ❤️
🔸MOCKTAILS
🔹 Summer Rain: Orange-y and tangy, good on the side to cut through the heavy palate
🔹Black Currant cooler: This had a layer of pineapple-flavoured syrup and one of black currant. You may find it a bit too sweet, but only if it's not stirred in properly. Give it a good mix, and enjoy!
🔹Virgin Mojito: It does it's job of quenching the thirst.
🔹 Strawberry Milkshake: Nothing wrong with this one. I found it to be, thankfully, not heavily sweet.
🔸 DESSERT
🔹Brownie with ice-cream: 🤤 The brownie was cut into heart shape and the presentation was "love"ly. Must try! ❤️
The prices are not too high, and considering the view and experience they come with, quite justified. The place was thronged with the crowd then, and I see no reason why it shouldn't be now.
