Azzurro
Azzurro Review
Fresh ingredients and attention to detail place the cuisine this unpretentious neighborhood spot way ahead of most of the other casual Italian eateries in town, which charge double its prices. The menu keeps it simple, and that's a good thing. Crisp, thin-crust pizzas hot from the wood-fired oven make generous use of top-shelf buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil: they're easily the best in Delhi. The main courses, which travel beyond Italian, are based on the cuisine of the "olive oil belt" in the Mediterranean. For dessert, the chocolate fondant (gooey, bubbling chocolate in a cookie shell with a dollop of fresh cream) is divine. After a visit to the nearby Qutb Minar, come for the half-price pizza at lunch and in the afternoon catch the latest Bollywood hit next door at PVR Anupam.

vikramachanta, from New Delhi
Azzurro in Saket is one of the restaurants that came up around the time when the PVR opened and just changed the shopping centre around it. I love this place for the simple reason that it offers great Italian/Mediterranean food and has an amazing ambience.
I go to this place once in two months for I want to make the outing special each time, mostly to celebrate my children's birthdays or our wedding anniversary. The food is simple and appeals to everyone. My wife loves this place for its wood fired oven pizzas and my children adore it for its sandwiches and desserts, especially the Tiramisu.
The place has a minimalistic look; the interiors have been done up tastefully. There's nothing falling over you, which has become common in most restaurants. The place is full on weekends, so I make a booking before going.
They do a refreshing Mojito and i would also recommend the Apple Martini. The Pinot Grigio by the glass is also great when i'm in the mood for some wine.
