The truffle tagliatelle is the best pasta I've had in Pakistan — full stop. Fresh, properly cooked to al dente, with real truffle oil (not the synthetic nonsense). The porcini add genuine depth.

The garden courtyard in Islamabad's December evening — string lights, the cool mountain air, fresh pasta and good wine. This is as close to an Italian evening as Islamabad gets.

Service here is exceptional — rare for Pakistan. Attentive without being intrusive. They remembered my wife's allergy from the last visit without me mentioning it.
😊 Positive
"
The most expensive dinner I've had in Islamabad. Worth it for a special occasion but not a regular outing. Manage expectations on the bill — it will be significant.
😐 Neutral
