Crowne Plaza's Alloro: Italian flavor to the Indian palate!

Saturday afternoon be like "authentic interpretations of Italian classics!" 

We were pleasantly surprised that "Alloro", offers a lavish Italian menu spread, as we were looking forward to the moment! to satiate the taste buds and Saturday lunch turned out to be a very pleasing experience. 

Chef Thomas introduced his staff Chef Kumar, who ensured that our "Italian" experience was taken to an all new level. 

As we entered I was engrossed with their excellent wine cellar & their PDR {Private Dining Room}. We were just looking forward to their antipasti, cheese, pastas and pizzas from their wood fired oven ! 

The PDR at Alloro Restaurant Bangalore, one of the finest Italian restaurant. Just 💓 the Pastas served here.... herbs & greens seafood & authentic Italian desserts. #crowneplaza #ihgswa #staycation ultra-wide angle, #LGV20 #playmore #lgv20photography #wideanglelens #sobangalore
