Lowest rated branch despite being the most reviewed. The food and ambience get praise, but the complaints are specific and repeated: 30 minute waits for starters, dishes not matching the menu description, items unavailable, and a Rs 40 extra charge for ravioli on an already Rs 950 pasta. Menu prices also differ between the restaurant and online platforms.
Misal nearby: Katakirr Misal Satara Road. For pizza, The Pizza Box Kondhwa is close and much cheaper.
Chinchwad Old Mumbai Pune Highway, PCMC
★ 4.1 (2,722)- Open till midnight, latest of all branches
- Best option in PCMC
- Risotto Al Forno and Ravioli Crocante get named often

- Old Mumbai Pune Highway, on it
- Chinchwad station, about 2 km
- Pimpri, about 4 km
- From Pimpri: about 10 minutes
- From Wakad: about 15 minutes
- Highway side parking available
Cosy ambience with plenty of seating. Ravioli, pinsa, mushroom soup and the Sicilia wood burn pizza all get strong reviews. The honest negatives are single portion lasagne despite the price, and cocktails that reviewers found badly made for what they cost.
For misal in PCMC, Katakirr Misal Pimple Saudagar and Shrimant Misal Ravet are both nearby.
Bund Garden Pure veg, near Tanishq
★ 4.2 (2,470)- Fully vegetarian branch
- Valet parking available

- Bund Garden Road, on it
- Pune Station, about 2 km

- Valet parking. Road closures and one way routes make the drive confusing, even on maps
Mixed. The nachos, spaghetti and tiramisu get named as good. But several reviewers say the food no longer matches the price, with visible oil in dishes and an average risotto. One repeated warning: skip the desserts other than tiramisu. Jain diners should ask which cheese is used.
Misal nearby: Aaba Misalwale Rasta Peth is about 10 minutes. For pizza, Si Nonna’s Kalyani Nagar is nearby.

Misal nearby: Katakirr Misal Erandwane is about 10 minutes. For pizza, Si Nonna’s FC Road and The Pizza Box SB Road are both close.
