Olive Bistro is amongst my
favorite places to dine in Pune .
I love the laid back feel , the pebbled
walkways and the charming water fountain that add to the Mediterranean
Island vibe .
An excellent ambiance and wonderfully
hospitable staff makes dining here a delight every single time .
The food is lovely , well
presented and with clean flavors . Great options for vegetarians and the
desserts are excellent .
I was invited to sample the
New Menu and this is some of what I ate and enjoyed .
Spinach and Feta
Spanakopita was lovely , spinach and creamy crumbled feta cheese in a deep
fried pastry casing . It was served with Tzatziki that had a lovely flavor of
dill.

The Bistros herb-ed chicken skewers were a nice accompaniment to
our cocktails , again nice clean flavors , could taste the lovely rosemary .

No dining experience at
Olive is complete without a thin crust pizza , baked in their lovely wood fired
oven we tried the Philly Cream cheese pizza , it was fantastic . Cream cheese
on a pizza is a very very good thing , melt in your mouth sort of good thing .
The pizza had a nice strong kick of garlic and that only made the pizza so many
times better for me .

Porcini & Vanilla
Cappuccino soup was interesting , I guess being in the middle of summer I did
not really want to have soup .

I loved the Ravioli ,
tomato infused pretty pink parcels stuffed with ricotta , basil and parmesan
and served with a delicious cheese fondue cream . Whats not to like when you
have three kinds of cheese all in one dish .
