The food is like nothing you have ever tasted in Bangalore. The partners are Paulo, ( Italian) he is the chef and insists on only the BEST ingredients, Carl and Roger , the MOST friendly people who will always welcome you. All three are the owners / partners. If you want to impress your girlfriend / future mother-in-law / boss , take them here. The service is sooo good without being subservient. European polite. The owners all have many, many years in 5*+ hotels across the middle east , and it shows. They train their staff on a daily basis about the finer points of service. The food is to ’Die For" try the baby chicken with Palma ham ( imported from Italy). If you think you have tasted Pizza, you haven’t until you eat Pizza here,( it is hand-made, and I think even the cheese and black olives are imported!) Do not eat a big main course because the deserts are out of this world!! Not only the taste but even the presentation is beyond what the Taj or Leela could even dream of doing. I LOVE the seating, normal tables or if you are feeling little amorous, white leather sofas. The music is great, soft jazz, lounge, and never too loud to stop conversation. If you like a drinky ( I Know I do!) the selection of wines is amazing and growing all the time , ask Carl and he will recommend THE perfect wine to accompany your meal, or some really good imported whiskeys , gins ( London Gordons Dry Gin) and even American, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam. Be prepared for something really different and BETTER. I am running out of superlatives for Via Milano, try it once and you will become like me, ADDICTED. A truly wonderful place to eat , relax and enjoy. Via Milano , what can I say ? The food is like nothing you have ever tasted in Bangalore.

I asked for the recipe and also got it, for the chicken tortelloni, handwritten by the chef. We had some of the best Italian food there.
