Three of us had a very enjoyable evening meal here. The restaurant is upstairs above a Deli. There are at least half a dozen tables in a spacious, minimalist room. The surroundings were pleasant and the service was efficient, provided by courteous staff.We had a couple of starters, one of which, the baked Mushroom with fresh herbs and breadcrumbs baked in a shallot and garlic sauce, was so big, that three of us had ample share of it. For mains, we had Americana pizza, Pesto Genovese and 12 inch Spinach Funghi and a Latte. Reasonably priced at a total of 2750 rupees. They do not levy a service charge, so tip at your discretion.Dear Kevin,I am extremely pleased that you had a memorable experience in my restaurant. MY team and I strive to provide the best Italian experience possible in Chennai and am glad that we matched your expectations. On your next visit I would urge you to try our famous Panna Cotta sided with fruit berry syrup and crunchy praline which is my personal favorite.

Went here for a Saturday brunch. Overall a good selection of food which can be cooked to order. So I had prawns, ravioli both excellent. Plus a selection of buffet items - figs stuffed with pear/walnut, mushroom risotto brilliant. On the dessert side the tiramisu is light and fluffy. Only disappointing item was the crab - very little meat - all shell. Service professional and efficient.Paid using my foreign card - told what the bill was and handed a blank screen for my PIN number. Very predictably when the receipt spewed out it was in sterling rather than Indian rupees and the exchange rate used much lower. Too late to do anything about it but this is sharp practice by the Hyatt and was an irritating end to what had been an excellent afternoon.

Exciting atmosphere and unique food items The appearance of the restaurant itself was very exciting and each bay was designed uniquely. Sesring arrangement was so nice We were totally confused which onw to order. We ordered for soup aeswll as steamed bao with mushroom. Then some tasty pizza. It did not tske much time. The staffs were very courteous and friendly. Speak english and few speak locsl language too. Each item is damn costly. Pl pack your wallet with good number of bucks. Or have good balance in your cr card. But for the taste and ambience its worth. Better to go for dinner
