Toscano's UB City

The quality difference between Toscano's Forum Mall and Toscano's UB City is like night and day. The meals I've had at Toscano's UB City had always been wonderful. Decent service, good ambiance (can't go wrong with an open air restaurant in Bangalore) and pretty good food. I wish the owner would spend more time in the Forum Mall location to bring up the standards he had set at the UB City location.

I came here with a bunch of people after the Diesel launch party and with friends, it's always nicer to share food, so again, we ordered a bunch of pizzas.


Parma Ham Pizza - it's hard to find cured meat anywhere in Bangalore, so we had to order this one even though it's not the best; the meat was slightly tough and dry. "A" liked it.


Chicken Pizza - with cherry tomatoes. Simple yet tasty.


Toscano Pizza - chicken chunks, sliced green peppers, olives and pepperoni. If you don't know which pizza to order, order this one.


4 Cheese Pizza - the most popular pizza on our table. I honestly can't tell which cheeses they used but somehow the combination of cheeses and a few lightly-dressed green leaves made this pizza delicious.


An actual entree! Yes, I ordered this because I figured it's easier (and faster) for me to chew fish than bread with my braces on. Pan-fried red snapper with mash potatoes, grilled asparagus and pickled cucumber. Maybe it's late and the chef needed to stop working so he could join the rest of the kitchen passe to watch a WorldCup football match, but no excuse to overcook the fish and forget to season properly. Lovely presentation though.

And for dessert...

Creme brulee - coffee flavored, most of us loved the creativity but a couple of us didn't fancy it.

Overall Ratings:
"A"'s: 8.5/10

Unquestionably yes.
