Testa Rossa - Tivoli

12-10-2013

Saturday night dinner at Testa Rossa and what an experience it was. We entered the closed room section and the ambiance was just amazing with bulbs lit in a cage and the way the tree was used to make the interiors look better without having it chopped was sweet and considerate.
The Food.
I ordered a Irish cold coffee, which tasted good just like Bru-lite cold coffee that is sold commercially in stores, so the coffee failed to provide something unique or different. It was a regular cold coffee with milk powder, that is it.

Then came Cheese garlic bread, I was served with 4 pieces of bread as long as my palm with cheese and oregano was sprinkled on it with tomato sause (tomato sause ?). There was no taste of garlic in the bread but cheese was good and fresh. Also, the bread was not too oily on the palate.
Now it was time for some Penni Arabiata Pasta (with white sauce). The sauce tasted good and was not too thick with prominent taste of cheese which was evenly balanced (too much cheese is not good and no cheese makes it a bad pasta, in my opinion). It contained ample amounts of green capsicum but the chicken pieces were finely chopped and were not in excess but just there.
Finally it was time for Paprika Chicken, it was the best amongst all the dishes. Looked like it had a tandoori chicken based marinate (hung curd if i am not mistaken) and the chicken pieces were cut in nice shape and the masala was all over the chicken was in excess (like a chocolate topping on an ice cream). It lived up to its name of spicy and it did tingle my buds. The chicken seemed like it was shallow fried with a lot of oil which was visible on the plate and the chicken was nice and soft and not at all chewy. The plating of the dish was not really good and it looked mediocre but tasted good. I recommend it if one is looking for something spicy.

This had to be here.

Ordered Mocha Frappe or Chocolate shake(Not sure if they they same or different)
Now i told the waiter to get the best chocolate drink they could make and he got this. If one has ever tried Danone's chocolate tetra pack, this was almost the same. The drink was thick very very thick and had liquid chocolate at the bottom of the glass. This was better than any other drinks in the coffee shops around the city.
I ordered one more of this.


Ambiance is the best
Food-4
Service-4.5

(I found the washroom unique with an olden wall look and modern touch to it)
