These days there are varieties of
restaurants in Gurgaon, but only few are there that have the perfect amagalamation
of taste and visual appeal. Presenting Tonino @ Gurgaon. Opened almost a year
back, this café has already started brimming with people from all walks of
life. The corporate groups are as frequent here as close knit families and friends.

What keeps this place alive is
the brilliant décor, smiling waiters and fresh aroma of succulent meals. I happened
to visit the place with my daughter on a busy weekday at 9 and was surprised to find the place
filled with laughter and music. Since it was a weekend, a large corporate group
could be seen enjoying their food and drinks.
We were welcomed by the
restaurant manager, Mr. Deepak who ushered us to the table at the far end. As I
looked around, I was very impressed with the seating arrangement.

The restaurant displays a lively
surrounding that is a visual treat. The colorful artifacts cheer up the mood
instantly as you walk inside the beautifully decorated place.

While the floors display artistic
finesse, it is the wall décor that catches the eye. There is an ample space for
couples and a big family gathering.
Consistent with Indian culinary
preference, the menu features vegetarian and non vegetarian options. While I
was admiring the selection of dishes, a plate of fresh bread with a basil and
salsa dip was served – a succulent start indeed.
We devoured it with warm
Minestrone soup and half n half soup of tomato basil and cream of bocolli. The
former one was rich with a tangy hint of ripe tomatoes that hardly overpowered
the flavor while the latter was a chicken and tomato soup with a perfect
balance of celery and cheese.
The Executive Chef began the
culinary odyssey with a hearty salad called the Grecca salad, that is
definitely a good spin on the conventional rubbed salads. Complete with
sundried tomatoes, grilled Asparagus, Olives, and feta cheese, it was succulent
to eat.
The salad was gone in a few
seconds and satiated me to a level impossible to express. The  bruschetta platter they served was a
smorgasbord of flavor and taste.
Petso
& parmezania, layered with pesto and parmesan  cheese had a delectable flavor, while the
peri peri chicken was a spicy intonation.
I loved the tomato basil because of
the sun dried tomatoes. My daughter relished the beetroot bruschetta a lot.
The
ripened beetroots were bursting with favors. The caramelized onion & goat
cheese was just average compared to other bruschettas.
Before the antispati, we were
served jamun mocktail to cleanse the palate, and primed my taste buds for the
main course to follow. I have never tasted anything so delectable. The citrus
flavor matched well with the Indian fruit making it tangy . We loved it and
ordered for one more.
The antispati comprised of a
Caffee Tonino Square pizza.  The pizza was
satiating and I loved the beautiful presentation in a square shape. It occurred
to me that a pizza can be delicious and playful.
We also relished the Grilled Sole
– the marinated grilled river sole in cilantro is served with diced vegetables
that are a visual delight and add to appeal the taste buds. The alongside boiled
potatoes make up for the perfect full meal.

The perfect way to seal the meal
was a TiraMisu – The infamous Italian dessert simply teased our senses and
satiated the palate. Tonino is a perfect choice to hang out with your close friends. You must visit it for a fabulous experience and great memories!
